New Candy Mold

[christwo]

Just got my order in from Bascom's!!

A bought a small maple leaf mold to give it a try (like I have any spare time) and was wondering what to do to it to try and get the rubber smell out of it.

What is the best way to clean it and get it ready?

I have been reading the posts on temperture so I think I have that down. I will try it first with some last years syrup and see how that goes.

chris , just a drop or two of mild dish soap like dawn or ivory.. then lots of hot water rinse, after that every time you use it, hot water is all you need. the rubber smell won't affect anything. good luck, if it doesn't work at first let me know I'd give you a hand with the candy some night. I've gotten pretty consistant at it.
