ZOKU TIPS:

The Quick Pop™ Maker is very easy to use, however on occasion you may experience trouble getting a pop to freeze. Below is a list of possible causes for uncooperative pops. Take a peek to try and decipher what’s going wrong.

It could be your equipment if…

• Your freezer is not cold enough. Make sure your freezer is 0°F.
• Your freezer is too packed with stuff. The Quick Pop™ Maker may not be able to freeze fully if there is not enough airflow in your freezer. Try giving it a little breathing room, freeze for 24 more hours and try again.

It could be your ingredients if…

• The liquid you’re making pops with contains alcohol or if it’s too high in fat, oil or sugar.
• The liquid you’re making pops with is too soft or has too many solids. For example, if you made a chocolate pop from cocoa and used too high of a cocoa to water ratio, your pop may not freeze. Next time, use a little more water and try again.

It could be your technique if…

• You didn’t let The Quick Pop™ Maker freeze for 24 hours. Be patient - it’s worth the wait, we promise!
• The liquid you’re making pops with is too warm. Let it cool before adding it to The Quick Pop™ Maker molds.
• You’re trying to remove the pops before they’re fully frozen. A good way to tell if your pop is frozen is by testing it with a toothpick. If it doesn’t feel solid at the base of the stick, it’s probably not ready yet.
