Use and Care Guidelines for Springerle Molds and Accessories

Product Care Instructions

To ensure years of enjoyment from your Springerle Emporium products, please care for them as you would all of your fine kitchen accessories and equipment.

House on the Hill Springerle Molds

1. Like any kitchen tool, it's a good idea to wash springerle molds before using them for the very first time. Lightly clean with a toothbrush and water to remove any remaining dust from the finishing process. Allow molds to fully dry before using.
2. Do not allow dough to dry in your springerle mold. Clean your molds as soon as you are done using them, to ensure a long life. 
3. Wash under warm running water with hand dish soap. Use a toothbrush to gently remove stubborn dough from the grooves. 
4. Never leave House on the Hill molds to soak in water
5. Never put molds in a dishwasher. 
6. Dry face down on a clean kitchen towel. Dry completely before storing.

Emma's Springerle Molds

2. For best results, do not allow dough to dry in your springerle mold. Clean your molds as soon as you are done using them.

Wood Springerle Molds

1. Like any kitchen tool, it's a good idea to wash springerle molds before using them for the very first time. Lightly clean with a toothbrush and water. This will remove any remaining dust from the finishing process. Allow the mold to fully dry before using it.
2. Do not allow dough to dry in your springerle mold. It will be difficult, if not impossible, to remove. Clean your molds as soon as you are done using them, to ensure a long life. 
3. Remove remaining flour/dough with a soft toothbrush to gently clean the mold grooves. Use a drop or two of hand dish soap and running water.
4. Never leave wood springerle molds to soak or put them in the dishwasher.
5. Dry face down on a cooling rack or clean kitchen towel. Dry completely before storing.
6. If you store your molds for a long time (for example, if you only use them once a year), you can gently rub a drop or two of cutting board oil into them before putting them away for extended storage. We love Howard's Cutting Board Oil for this purpose. We do not recommend vegetable or food oils as they will eventually turn rancid.
