Wooden ones are more durable and safer, while plastic ones are easier to crack.

There are two kinds of common moon cake molds on the market, wooden and plastic:

1, wooden moon cake mold: a wooden mold carved by traditional hand craft, made of hardwood with traditional auspicious patterns inside. The pattern is simple and exquisite. Before use, carefully check the pattern carved by the knife in the base to see if there is any sawdust residue, and carefully pull it out with a knife.

So as to avoid sticking to the surface of moon cakes when making. Rinse with clear water before making, soak in edible oil for two days, and let the oil slowly penetrate into the moon cake mold before use.

The advantage of wooden molds is that they are durable and can even be used for decades. It can be used not only as a tool for making moon cakes, but also as a simple and memorable small object to collect. Wooden mooncake molds are usually upside down. That is, the moon cake is first buckled in the mold and then buckled out of the mold.

The force should be even when the buckle is reversed, and both the side buckle and the front buckle can take out the moon cake. If you are not a professional, I suggest you hold it by hand, which requires professional skills and strength.

2, plastic mold: easy to use, but short life, easy to crack.
