Silicone ice and chocolate mold Maestro MR-1059 — duck shapes, 16 cavities is a flexible food-grade silicone tray designed to produce 16 duck-shaped pieces for ice, chocolate, or small frozen desserts. The mold is heat- and cold-resistant, allowing use in freezers and for setting chocolate or other confections. Its non-stick surface and pliable material facilitate easy removal of finished pieces and simplify cleaning after use.
Advantages
The silicone construction provides flexibility for simple demolding without breaking delicate shapes, while the food-grade material ensures safety for contact with edible ingredients. The tray's 16 identical cavities deliver uniform portion size for consistent results when making chocolates, ice cubes, or small molded desserts. Its durability supports repeated use and the smooth surface minimizes residue, making rinsing or washing straightforward.
Suitable for
- Making duck-shaped ice cubes for beverages and themed parties
- Producing small chocolate candies, pralines, or molded confectionery
- Preparing frozen fruit purees, gelatin portions, or flavored ice cubes
- Portioning butter, sauces, or small servings of chilled desserts
When it may not be suitable
This mold is intended for small individual portions and is not suitable for producing large cakes or bulk quantities in a single piece. It is not designed for use with very high-temperature baking; while silicone is heat resistant, direct exposure to open flames or temperatures above the manufacturer's recommended limit should be avoided.
Key specifications
- Material: food-grade silicone
- Number of cavities: 16
- Cavity shape: duck-shaped molds for small portions
- Suitable temperature range: freezer-safe and suitable for setting chocolate and chilled desserts

How to use
Clean the mold before first use with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. Place the mold on a flat surface and pour melted chocolate, water, fruit puree, or other liquid into the duck-shaped cavities, taking care not to overfill. For chocolate, allow to set at room temperature or place in the refrigerator or freezer until firm. To remove pieces, gently press the base of each cavity to release the duck shapes; bend the mold slightly if necessary to ease demolding. Wash after use by hand or in the dishwasher if the manufacturer recommends it, and store flat or rolled without sharp folds.
What to consider before purchase
- Confirm the mold material is silicone and suitable for food use
- Check intended temperature limits if you plan to use it for hot liquids
- Consider the size of each cavity to ensure it fits your portion requirements
- Verify ease of cleaning and dishwasher compatibility if important
Usage recommendations
For best results when making chocolate candies, chill the filled mold on a flat tray to avoid warping and tap gently to remove air bubbles before setting. When using for ice, place the filled mold on a level surface in the freezer to ensure even shapes.
