Summary: 5 Stars
Really easy to use! Just make sure to dip it lightly in water after every use so the rice won't stick! Really cute shapes and so easy to use!Customer Review: Sushi Molds

I rodered this because I like to mix things up even in an adult lunch. Molds are great!Customer Review: There is a learning curve
Summary: 4 Stars
I really like the molds. My kids like the molds. It makes lunch prep fun and they feel like helping out. Granted, they are only 3 and 18 months, so that gives you a sense for how much they want to help.
The first couple of times I used the molds, the rice wouldn't come out easily. Then, I used less water when cooking the rice and now the rice comes out quite easily from the molds. The star shape still seems to stick, no matter what. So, we make fewer stars.
If you don't have luck at first, make dryer rice. You can also dust the inside of the molds with rice flour (or really, any kind of flour). Someone suggested I use a little oil on the inside of the molds, but I haven't tried that yet. Simply pulling out the lids of the molds doesn't get the rice out (when I tried). I find tapping the molds on a plate gets them out.
don't give up. It's really fun once you get the hang of it.
Customer Review: Small but cute
Summary: 4 Stars
I ordered this product thinking it was a bit bigger. When I got them, I found that the cups are only 1.5 - 2 inches in diameter. Any disappointment at their size was quickly remedied once I used them. They make the cutest rice shapes! It does take some practice though. And the softer type of silicone means you have to somewhat help the cup hold its shape with your one hand while you're shoving the rice in there with the other. (As another reviewer said, cramming it in there helps get a better shape.) Once you get the hang of it, it makes it totally worth it. I put these in my bento box for work and they are just the right size for a mouthful of rice (adult-size mouth).
If I'm this happy with them as an adult, I can only imagine how delighted a child would be getting these in their lunch for the first time ;)
Customer Review: Great Little FOOD CUPS. NOT rice molds!
Summary: 4 Stars
Every other site I've ever seen this listed on do not refer to these as rice molds... because they're not. They're cups for holding small amounts of food (dried fruit or nuts come to mind, maybe a thicker pudding or even jell-o) and help keep things separated in your bento. I can't imagine trying to use these as rice molds. The flexible silicone would make it impossible for the rice to hold its shape. Rice molds are stiff plastic with a lid, unlike these silicone cups. I love mine, and I use them for their intended purpose. =)
