Helpful Hints - West Bend ARCTIC POPS Manual De Instrucciones

•
Do not use sugar-free or artificially sweetened ingredients. If you do not use sugar, or if
artificial sweeteners are used, the pops will be impossible to remove from the mold. In
order to release properly, there must be some sugar in the mix. Ingredients with natural
sweeteners such as molasses, honey, fruit juices, or even maple syrup work well! These
will improve the flavor of your pop and will make your ice pops easier to remove from the
mold.
•
Because of their soft consistency, ice cream, yogurt, and pudding may be difficult to
remove from the mold. They may not hold on to the Arctic Pops™ stick when trying to
remove.
•
Use instant pudding mix to make pudding pops. Mix pudding mix according to package
instructions; immediately pour into the mold. This will prevent your pudding pops being
lumpy or full of bubbles. Cooked and sugar-free puddings do not work as well in the Arctic
Pops™ maker.
•
Do not try to force out a pop that is stuck. Forcing with the removal tool may result in a
broken stick or removal tool. To remove any ice pops that will not come out, run the pop
under lukewarm water to thaw and rinse out the mold opening or let Arctic Pops™ maker
sit at room temperature until thawed.
•
Store the Arctic Pops™ maker in the freezer between uses. This will allow you to have ice
pops on demand at any time. To prevent freezer burn, store the Arctic Pops™ maker in a
plastic bag. To avoid damaging the Arctic Pops™ maker, always store it in the freezer
upside down and in a level position.
•
Always thoroughly dry the Arctic Pops™ maker after washing. Any water left in the Arctic
Pops™ mold opening will make removal of the next ice pops very difficult.
•
Soft drinks can be used to make tasty ice pops, BUT, ensure that the soft drink is flat
(non-carbonated) before freezing. If the soft drink is used while still carbonated, the ice
pops have a tendency to expand beyond the fill line, which makes them very difficult to
remove.
