Microwave Splatter Cover Heat Retention, 8 inch Full Clear Microwave Food Cover With Water Steamer for Food Moistness, Kitchen Gadgets Accessories, Clear Quality Ice Candy bags

I am going to copy a bit here from my review of a similar product, because I really didn't find any quality differences other than size. I am rating these 5 stars, though, because I found the quality to be great and I honestly wouldn't hesitate to repurchase if I needed this size bag in the future. This is a decent, but not ideal, bag for making adult ice pops (alcopops/poptails!) I made these for alcoholic ice pops a party this summer and they were the absolute hit of the party. Unfortunately, we found that this size is really too large for a single adult pop and I preferred the 1.5" width more, but we used an expensive impulse sealer we purchased here to seal the bags with great success which made them more manageable. Only one out of over 60 we sealed had a leak and I believe that's because we didn't leave them on long enough. Just make sure to leave a little room for expansion when sealing and you shouldn't have any issues. This is the sealer we purchased. 8" Impulse Sealer - Cellophane Bag sealer In retrospect, a 4" impulse sealer would have been even more perfect as the 8" sealer was just a touch too large to comfortably store away after use. We were able to make 2 pops per bag (about the right size for an alcoholic treat) by filling the bag with 1/3 cup liquid, sealing the bag just over that amount twice (once for the top, once about 1/4 inch above it to create a cutting area for the next pop, and then filling the bag again with 1/3 cup of liquid and sealing the top. Sounds weird, but it looked something like this: |====|-|=====| where the dash is space between the two heat seals in the middle where you would cut the pop to make 2. My husband and I set up an assembly line and we were able to complete about 3 - 5 bags a minute, so it went really fast. These bags were short and fat, and we preferred the other bags, but I believe that this size would be the ideal size for Pilipino Ice Candy, especially if you're tying the tops. These are the narrower bags that I liked better, Ice Candy Bags 100-Piece If you're making Ice Candy, these 2" bags are probably perfect, the other 1.5" bags are more the size (in width) of the icee pops that you purchase in the grocery store. You can read my review there, which includes more details at the end of the review on the recipes we used. Hope this was useful!

Strong material for sure. It’ll not rip and not explode easily. Will definitely buy this one again on my my next party!

So let me start by telling all of you potential first time popsicle makers what NOT to do :) 1. Do not over fill. 2. Do Not forget to leave some airspace at the top of the bag for expansion of the fluid you add. 3.Do not stand them up in the grates/open shelves in your freezer to hold them up. When they freeze they will be very difficult to get out because they have expanded ;) Now let me tell you what to do. 1. REMEMBER that liquid expands when freezing. 2. Leave some airspace at the top to allow for content expansion 3. Stand filled bags up in a cup or other upright container that will allow for easy removal from freezer. I filled our bags with some power aid because the Grandkids love Grandpas power aid. I then tied them with some little rubber bands that are usually used to tie little baby girls hair in pontytails (re purposing at its finest) . After some trial & error (see above comments) the grandkids loved the homemade freezer pops. We will be trying some healthier options next time. The kids did love them.

l am using these to make my own ice pops. I freeze fruit juice in them, and it is a generous portion. The plastic is somewhat flexible, but won't stretch to allow expansion of frozen liquid. If you overfill, it comes out the top. I use a funnel to fill them and fold the top over and clip it. I freeze them standing upright in a big cup. Of course, you can't travel with them this way. I haven't found a dependable way to seal them. The plastic bag sealer is too difficult to use for this. They could possibly be reused.

These are a really great quality product they don’t cut the sides of your mouth, they’re easy to fill, you can heat seal if desired, I’ve bought them several times and never had one leak or explode. Highly recommend

If you're buying this for Filipino ice candies, it's not going to work. It's way too wide and long.

I make my own real fruit freeze pops for the grandkids, and this summer I will make them for my mother who has cancer. She is able to eat fruit and likes the frozen slush I make so this is an easy way to help her and do something fun for her to have with the great grand kids. I like that the bags don't bust when they freeze.

Well made. Bit of a challenge to fill, but I discovered that my extremely large veterinary syringe worked perfectly. Whipped up a batch of frozen yogurt ice pops in no time ... and the grand-kiddo was dazzled.
