Removing Jello from the mold!
 
Ok here's a stupid question... every time I make Jello in a mold I can
never seem to remove it without it falling apart. What's the trick to
removing jello from a mold without it coming apart? Thanksgiving is
approaching and I need help! Thanks.

Dip the mold in hot water briefly, and run a knife along the edge to loosen
it.

Give the mold a quick dip in hot tap water (8-10 seconds).

Did the pilgrims eat jello? I don't get it.

Spray the mold with Pam before adding the jell-o and/or dip the mold briefly
in warm water before attempting to unmold.

You can use a spray release unflavored, or line the mold with plastic wrap.

I usually get a bowl big enough for the mold to fit in - and fill it
with fairly warm water - put the jello mold right in for a fast dip
(just up to the edge, you don't want water in the jello) and out again
- give it a little twisty shake - should be loose. If not, do it
again.

Or, you can dampen a kitchen towel with hot water and wrap it around
the mold - same theory - melt a teensy bit of the jello away from the
mold and it will plop right out.

I'll jiggle to that one, Cyndi! Lime jello and vodka with a nice, healthy
dose of whip cream on top. God, I miss jello shooters.

I've had shooters once at the beach at sunset. The
bar handed them out gratis. Can you share the fine
points of making them? :))

It's easy; replace half or 2/3 of the water with alcohol. (I've substituted
all alcohol and depending upon the flavor of the booze, it can be pretty
strong.) We've experimented with different flavors of schnapps, rum, vodka
and liquers like Chambord. Comes out great and it's kinda fun. :~)

Ya know... I was just thinking that maybe this coming Easter I should use
the various Easter Jello molds (eggs and jelly bean) to make Adult Jello
shot thingies. <shrug> Not sure if the crown down here would be as into it
as the relatives up north.
