I was in the kitchens for over a decade and finally got out into construction. I helped my friend cater a wedding the other week and it restarted my love for food service.
I'm familiar with permitting and food safety and all that but do yall normally start out with a cooler on a wagon or what did you do?
I'm new to ice pop sleeves. It seems that the machines for ice pop sleeve filling are the same used for liquid sauce packets. I've seen the alibaba offerings, but wanted your thoughts on vendors in US or Canada that have local service or local service partners in the San Francisco bay area. I just came across prodo-pak, do any of you have experience with their machines? thanks in advance. I may just end up buying two alibaba machines just so that I know one will be working at any given time.
Are there any stainless steel mold manufactures other than Ataforma for pop machines which use a glycol bath?
Anyone selling an ice pop machine? I have a Fortfrio P-2 and I’m looking for something bigger to make more at one time.
How long should it take one of these protaylor or similar 4 mold machines to go from room temp down to -20C?

I'm looking into starting a small ice pops business. I'd be mobile and start out selling at farmer's markets on the weekends (I'm in South FL).
Anyways, has anyone had experience with buying the commercial ice pops machine from kolice or vevor and then saving over time to buy a better brand (finamac)? Did you have success doing this? Or would I be better off buying the higher end equipment from the jump (this costs 10K)?
Am I going crazy or was there not a peach flavoured Peach ice pop/Freezie/Otter pop in the early 2000s??? Does anybody else remember these? Any help would be appreciated.
I am formulating my process and recipes for my new icepop business. We have created a ton of good ones so far and feel like the texture is pretty good but could be better. Would love to hear any tips you all have for creating the perfect icepop. Whether that is fresh vs frozen fruit, sugar/water contents etc!
So acquired this randomly in a free bag of freeze pops and honestly, have zero idea how it ended up still intact. 2004 Spider-Man 2 ice pop!

Hello everybody, I am starting an ice pop business this summer and had a couple questions about the production procedures. It is important to note we do not have any machinery and are planning on making our ice pops through basic ingredients and molds.
How do we do a kill step without affecting chemistry, texture, and flavor?
How to create good textures in non-dairy pops?
Good ways to preserve flavor when freezing?

Any source on where I can find equipment that can extract the fruit bars from the mold, or a good company that can source a small capacity wrapping and heat sealing line? I have been taking thousand of fruit bars out by hand and individually wraping and sealing them with a small kitchen heat sealer. Any advice is welcome.
In TX and budget is about 50k.
Hello! Any suggestions on where to source/ or make custom popsicle sticks? I purchased a small stamp, but I’m finding out food grade inks bleed and makes the logo unrecognizable. Any leads or tips would be very helpful :)
