Plastic and wooden ones are both good, but wooden ones are more recommended.

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

There are two common mooncake molds on the market, wooden and plastic:

1. Wooden mooncake molds: wooden molds carved by traditional handcrafts, made of hardwood , with traditional auspicious patterns inside. The pattern is simple and delicate. Before use, carefully check the knife-engraved pattern in the base to see if there are any remaining wood chips, and carefully remove them with a knife.

Prevent it from sticking to the surface of the mooncake during production. Before making, rinse with clean water and soak in cooking oil for two days, allowing the oil to slowly penetrate into the mooncake mold before use.

The advantage of wooden molds is that they are relatively durable and can even be used for decades. Not only as a tool for making mooncakes, but also as a simple and commemorative small item for collection. Wooden mooncake molds are usually inverted. That is to put the mooncake upside down in the mold first, and then pull it out from the mold.

Use even force when buckling upside down, buckle on the side and buckle on the back to take out the mooncake. If you are not a professional, I suggest you use the hand-held method. The hand-pressed method requires professional skills and strength.

2. Plastic mold: It is more convenient to use, but has a short life and is easy to crack.
