I must admit I don't tend to cook boiled eggs that often, but when I do I always make up a set in the moulds to send for lunches. So you can imagine my joy when I discovered I could use these moulds for other ingredients! My first experiment was with mashed potato & it turned out quite cute, even if I do say so myself.
From memory I sprayed the mould with oil, filled with cooled potato & after it did not set in the fridge, I put it in the freezer for a bit. With a little persuasion it came out in one piece.
This mashed potato fish is swimming in a sea of snow peas, carrot & 'summer chicken' (chicken fried in olive oil with garlic & mixed herb)
A girlfriend shared that she made jelly in hers - of course! Why didn't I think of that?!?
I sprayed with oil again & made the jelly rather firm (I didn't add the second amount of liquid like the recipe said)
I left to set in the fridge overnight and then closed the mould, but the jelly had already started to shrink a little (either that or I didn't fill them enough) so it didn't really stick together as one giant fish, but having two fish certainly didn't upset anyone :-)
As you can see one side worked better than the other. I think the side that worked was on top & had time & gravity to help it come away a bit easier.
I also made jelly in the heart after my girlfriend said that's where she had the most success
Ditto to that :-)
You can also use these moulds for rice.
I made a chicken casserole & served with a mix of white & brown rice, so leftovers were sent for lunch the next day.
Although the mould worked & the two halves stuck together, I ended up splitting it to fit better into the box.
Again I sprayed with oil & set in the freezer.
Some things I used to make these lunches:
