foxhill Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I just got a martha mold (the one with three rectangles) I searched and read that I need to line it. I read that CPOP will warp, I was wondering about HP. Does anyone know what size batch this mold holds. I think the formula for that was l x w x h x 0.4, is that correct?

Rebecca_IA Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I've used my martha molds in the oven before and have not had any permanent issues. I only put my oven on 175 for an hour and then turn it off. The times I did get some mis-shaping, it was one of the middle pieces. To straighten it out, I filled the entire mold with hot water (very hot) and after a few minutes, bent the mis-shaped piece back to where it should be and started running the cold water again. Re-shaped just fine, but it was too much of a pain, so I quit using the oven. Also, you don't need to line if you don't want to. Mineral oil, just a light layer inside, will make it very easy to get the soap out. Make sure it's a light layer of mineral oil. Fill mold, leave for 24 hours or more, turn upside down on clean parchment paper, and gently press bottom of the mold and it comes out for me.

foxhill Posted August 15, 2005 Author Share Posted August 15, 2005 I used the mold with HP soap, lined just the bottom and ends and had no problem with warping or getting the soap out. Worked great, thanks for your help everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jooniper Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Ok I know I am going to get slammed for this one....where exactly does one find a martha mold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca_IA Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Kmart. Maybe Kmart.com. Not all Kmarts carry them and if they do carry them, not all Kmarts have both of them. These are a Martha Stewart brandname item, hense the name "Martha" mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
