The prep
notebook.

Practical notes for the parts that come before a good batch. Original preparation guides, without invented recipe trials.

Start with the batch you want to move, freeze and clean. Shape is the last decision, not the first.

A mold that fits the shelf may still be awkward to fill or remove. Measure the route as well as the resting place.

Multiply the cavities you will fill by the stated per-cavity volume. Keep a measured fill line separate from nominal capacity.

A material name alone does not explain how a mold behaves. Read the mold body, support rack, lid and stick as separate parts.

The correct release method belongs to the mold. Avoid transferring a tip for one format to every other mold.

A clean cavity is only part of the job. Sticks, rims, lids, rings and the support rack need attention too.

A useful first run starts with a record sheet. This is a preparation guide, not a tested fruit or yogurt recipe.

The smallest components can decide whether a set is convenient for repeated batches.
