Using this ice cream mold is super easy. First, prepare your favorite ice cream mixture. Then, pour it into the mold. You can put it in the freezer until the ice cream is set. When it's time to remove the ice cream, just gently flex the mold, and the ice cream will pop out easily. As for maintenance, wash the mold with mild soap and warm water after each use. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the silicone. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use.
