AJ, if you've got several pots going in the oven and they are all done at one time, can you take one out and do your thing leaving the others in the oven? I'd love to have a couple going at once
Try freezing them, Then DON'T TWIST IT. You should be able to just push on one side and it slides up. You could maybe wipe with mineral oil to season them. I don't have that problem anymore since my molds are very seasoned:D
