[Histonet] metal molds vs. disposable molds

[Merced Leiker]

I like my metal molds. They are neat, you get even heat transfer, and are 
easy to clean when they need it. I clean them by tossing them in some 
boiling water with an excess of cleaning powder (Alconox or Sparkleen) or 
any detergent you have on hand (make sure it doesn't get too bubbly and 
froth over though). Then I rinse them under hot top water, spread on paper 
towels to dry, spray with mold release, and stack in the oven.
