Reddit reviews BNYD Easy Push Pop out round Mini Ice Cube Trays with Flexible Silicone Bottom, Pack of 3

A few things I could suggest;

1. As already mentioned, the alginate bath is too weak. I shoot for 1%/wt alginate, meaning every 100g of water I add 1% sodium alginate.
   1.1. Similarly, the amount of calcium is not enough. I also shoot for 1%/wt on calcium on my flavor base. This has to be blended in, not whisked in.
   
   
2. Once alginate is blended in w/ water, leave it alone as long as reasonable. I refrigerate mine overnight if I can. I hate to drop anything unless my alginate bath is at least 2 hours old. If not, there will be lots of tiny bubbles that will interfere w/ consistent reaction.
   
   
3. If you can pre-make the flavor base, the easiest way to make big orbs is to freeze them before. I use these; http://www.amazon.com/BNYD-round-Flexible-Silicone-Bottom/dp/B00IOW4LME/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1450760491&sr=8-14&keywords=round+ice+tray (there are others but this is my recent favorite for price). But w/ fatty ingredients they may separate upon fully thawing, inside the membrane. They look cool when they do that, but the taste/mouthfeel would have to be judged subjectively.
   
   3.1. If freezing beforehand, a few things to try;
   
   3.1.1. Try to make the 'gnocchi' as thick' as possible to help them stay together
   
   3.1.2. Try to make the alginate bath a bit stronger, say 1.5%/wt to make it thicker as well.
   
   3.1.3. You can also leave them in the bath a bit longer, for thicker skin. Part of the challenge w/ this recipe is that there are quite a few fatty ingredients that will inhibit proper reaction. Letting them stay longer in the bath help to bridge over those fatty gap and develop stronger membrane.
   
   
4. If dropping frozen orbs, I microwave the bath until they are about 110F. At this temperature it takes about 1 minutes to develop thick enough skin. You do have to watch out and make sure it doesn't freeze to the bottom of the bath. If this happens, you have to very gently nudge them off the bottom.
   

Will report back. They're in the fridge now. I have these silicone bottomed ice cube trays. The batch was just a bit more than one tray would hold. I tasted the spoon and it was just like a creamsicle! =)

Get these. Fill them with melted oil and then pop them in the fridge. If your bedroom stays cool enough, you can keep some nearby. When it comes time to play, pop one out. I’ve just directly inserted them into holes and let them melt during foreplay. Or you can melt them in your hands and spread them wherever necessary.

Coconut oil melts easily so it's not surprising you're dealing with a pot of liquid right now. My suggestion is to get a small ice cube tray like this style and just put enough liquid coconut oil to cover the colored silicone bottom. That's what I did when I made my own DIY Foria Relief suppositories and honestly for a sex/masturbation session you could use even less than I did in each well because it was too much for me. Then you stick the tray in the fridge and pop one out when you need some lube. It will only take a minute or less for that little nugget to warm to your body and melt when you're ready for it.
