Polvoron Molder Filipino (2.75" H x 1.75" W) - Round Polvoron Mold for Traditional Filipino Cookies - Durable and Easy-to-Use Baking Tool

I love it buy I would like it a little bigger

I am in love with my molder. It is so easy to use and makes life easier.

The last time I made polvoron, I had to get creative when molding and I decided I needed one of these tools. This makes shaping polvoron super easy. The oval one seemed like there was a tendency to get the plate twisted and stuck when pushed out, but with the round one you don't have to worry about that. I know these are only a dollar or two if you have a chance to get them in the Philippines, but here this is actually one of the better priced options available, and saves you the plane ticket. What I will say is I wish the middle grip/finger handle was a little wider since I have big hands, it was uncomfortable by the time I got through making mine. I'm also not sure what the best way to clean behind the push plate is so just kinda did my best. To test this out, I made brown butter vanilla polvoron using this recipe and they're just as good as they sound! Ingredients: 200g all-purpose flour (toasted) 100g powdered milk (toasted) 100g powdered sugar 120g browned butter (start with 135 and heat until brown and fragrant, add back water to 120g if needed) 1 Vanilla bean (or 5g vanilla extract)

I looked up a recipe for the cookies that this is intended for and made it last week. The cookie "dough" packs into the bottom well. The spring loaded trigger easily dispenses the cookie when you are done packing it. I used it for the whole batch of cookies and never had a problem getting the cookies to come out.

What a small thing and its TOTALLY expensive. IF ITS LOW THAN $10 WE WOULD GET IT.

It's hard to clean, i wish it's easier.

This thing is way better than other molds. We have a few polvoron molds that we purchased at the local palengke the last time we visited the Philippines and have used them numerous times. Compared to this one they're junk. This is much heavier material, stronger construction, and sturdier feel. it works the same as the other molds we have, and is about the same effort to clean. If I had a complaint it would be the spring. because of the stronger and heavier spring, it's harder to push to eject the polvoron. Being stiffer than the palengke molds we have is a good thing, but this is MUCH stiffer. If you're making quite a few it might get tiring. That said I still prefer the weight of this spring to the weak ones on the typical molds.

I got the polvoron molder by TraditionTools to replace a 20 year old one. Made of thick stainless steel, every part of this molder appears solid and durable. The spring works well and looks like it would last a long time. This molder is not big - it has a diameter of 1.5 inches. It will make small polvoron cookies. The picture shows both my old polvoron molder and this new molder. My old one is made of aluminum and has suffered discoloration. Being made of stainless steel, I expect the new one to keep its color as long as it is it used properly - not exposing it to heat, washing it after every use and drying it before storing. I am happy with this stainless steel polvoron molder. However, it seems a bit overpriced. $14.95 for a small molder seems a bit unreasonable. I just bought a small stainless-steel pot (with lid) for $15. I can't help but compare the two items.
