These silicone molds are perfect for home use. First, most kitchen silicone molds do not include lids, so this is an enhanced positive of this purchase. Moving on, you can use these sturdy and substantial containers to store/freeze smaller food portions. With four different colors, each person in a four-person family gets his/her own color. In my case, I try to replenish my dog's water bucket during the course of the day. Using these molds supply a convenient cold/frozen refill when the water runs low. Finally, the molds wash/dry easily and effortlessly.
