Andrew Puhr Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Jumping into the Repashy game. Not sure if everyone used tupperware or if they have fun molds for their repashy concoctions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenP2003 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I used to use cube silicone molds I got from Amazon, which I still use when I freeze brine shrimp. For repashy, I pour the mixture while it's still hot onto some wax paper. It's thick enough to spread out but not be runny, like a batch of peanut brittle. I put enough sheet of wax paper on top and then roll it up so it takes up less space in the freezer. Once frozen, it's thin enough to shatter. Pic shows a small batch but I normally make a lot at once and freeze it. The cube molds were a bit too large of a portion for some of the tanks I feed, and slicing a thick square of it into cubes and freezing it was still a pain to break apart when frozen. This is super fast and easy unless you're extremely picky about consistent portion sizes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickS77 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I made a mold out of a piece of eggcrate because I was bored one weekend. Wholly unnecessary but works good, you can just pop out each square into whatever container you want. I also like using small mason jars because you can just mix it in the jar, let it set up, then scoop out what you want to feed with using a spoon. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoRia Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I use a silicone candy bar mold and got these miniature kitchen tools. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph’s Fish and Plants Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Repashy is on my list of foods to add to the Arsenal and learn how to do. I’m curious, could you theoretically use silicone ice trays as molds? I like the idea of having cactus or pumpkin shaped repashy, I feel like it would be a fun way to add various holiday or seasonal fun to the fishroom.

Ken Burke Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I use a small ice cube tray with a silicone bottom. I’m still working out how much to mix up, but I pour in the warm mix and let it set up. Once it sets up, I flip it over and push out the cubes. They are a little big, so I quarter the before storing them in the fridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Pearl Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I'll likely need a dedicated mold as the wife may frown on using some of her glassware for mixing up fish food. Thanks for the ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric W-Farmhouse Fish Room Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Thus far I've just used small plastic containers, but the idea of using silicone molds is appealing for sure. Thanks for the ideas! I'll have to try something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanR Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I know this post is a little old, but I bought some of these and I love them. They work great and the Repashy pops right out of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have some old ones that are in different shapes. They are probably dirt cheap too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ange Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I have small candy molds that I use. I considered using cubes but I couldn't find any that were only 1-2mL at the time that I purchased them and figured this would be fun. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
