Comparison of NITORI and Daiso "popsicle makers".

Popsicle makers make ice cream bars simply by pouring in juice and freezing it. It is convenient to have one at home because it is cost-effective if you make it yourself.

Comparison of NITORI and Daiso "popsicle makers

In conclusion, we recommend Daiso.

Daiso popsicle maker

Both have the same procedure of putting juice or fruit in the container and freezing it in the freezer, but each process had its advantages and disadvantages.

First, NITORI has three containers and is made in Japan. The body is rubberized and soft, and each one can be removed from the base for pouring juice.

NITORI can make three at once.

There is a stick inside.

Pour the juice.

Stick & cover and put in the freezer.

Daiso, on the other hand, has four containers and is made in China. They are made of plastic, so they are hard, and the containers are all integrated, so they are somewhat prone to spilling when pouring juice for a lazy person like me.

Daiso can make 4 at once.

Pour the juice.

Cover and put in the freezer.

The next step is to remove the frozen ice cream. In both cases, the ice cream is soaked in a larger container filled with water to thaw the surface a little.

The NITORI container is softer and can be removed from the base, so I thought it would be easier to take out the ice cream, but it was too hard and my hand slipped, so I couldn't get it out... The Daiso container was easier to take out! The Daiso one was easier to take out! I picked up the stick and wiggled it from side to side. It comes out.

Niggle.

pull it out with a gulp

Daiso got out of it rather easily.

The NITORI one was too niggly and one of them broke inside.... This was my mistake.

It's broken.

The Daiso one also comes with a straw that can be sucked even if it melts. It is designed to prevent dripping even when the ice cream melts.

Here's the straw.

I personally recommend Daiso's ice cream popsicle makers, which allow you to take out the ice cream more easily! It is quite stressful when you want to eat it but it doesn't come out easily.

By the way, the NITORI one makes cylindrical ice, so it's perfect for putting in stainless steel bottles. If you are attracted to the fact that it can make not only ice cream but also ice for bottles, I think you should buy the NITORI popsicle maker.
