If your silicone mold sticks when unmolding, let it cool for around ten minutes, it should release very easily after having cooled a little.
Why is my silicone mold turning white?
Don't panic, it's definitely not mold! White marks on silicone molds are often grease releases. In fact, the micro-cell composition of the molds rejects the fat from your preparations. If they are poorly washed, these traces of grease settle in and this is what creates the white marks. So be sure to maintain them well!
