Tips for Best Results
Pack the rice tightly into the mold before pressing — if the rice is too loose it may not hold its shape. Lightly wetting the interior of the mold before filling can help prevent sticking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the sushi mold set safe for children to use?
A: Yes! The mold is made from food-grade PP (polypropylene) plastic, which is free from harmful chemicals. It is safe for kids to handle under adult supervision, making it a fun and educational kitchen tool for the whole family.
Q: Can I use this mold for things other than rice balls?
A: Absolutely! While it's designed primarily as a triangular sushi and onigiri rice ball mold, it works wonderfully for shaping chocolates, fondant, fudge, hard candies, and even handmade soap bars — making it a versatile DIY tool beyond the kitchen.
Q: How do I clean the triangular rice ball mold?
A: Simply rinse the mold under warm water after each use. It can also be washed with mild dish soap. Avoid abrasive scrubbers to keep the mold in great condition. Not recommended for dishwasher use unless specified.
Q: What type of rice works best with this sushi mold?
A: Short-grain Japanese sushi rice or sticky rice works best. The higher starch content helps the rice bind together and hold the triangular shape after pressing. Long-grain or non-sticky rice varieties may not hold their form as well.
