I have put jello in little star molds. The jello is done, but when I try to get the jello out, the star breaks. How do I get the jello to come out of the molds and keep their shape?

Spray molds lightly with cooking spray - Before unmolding gelatin, make certain that gelatin is completely firm -- it should not feel sticky on top and should not sag toward side if mold is tilted. If gelatin is firm, dip a small pointed knife in warm water and run tip of it around top edge of mold to loosen. Or moisten tips of fingers and gently pull gelatin from top edge of mold. When using disposable metal cans as molds, puncture bottoms -- this makes it easier to unmold the gelatin because it eliminates any vacuum in cans, which are usually deeper in relationship to top surface than other molds.
Moisten top of gelatin and a chilled plate -- the moist surfaces make it easier to slide the gelatin into the center of the plate after it has been unmolded.
Dip mold in warm water -- do not use hot water as it will melt the gelatin. (If oven-proof glass, china, or paper containers are used as molds, the water should be slightly warmer.) Working quickly, dip the mold just to the rim in the warm water -- about 10 seconds. Lift from water, hold upright, and shake slightly to loosen the gelatin from mold. Invert moistened plate on mold. Always unmold gelatin on a chilled or cold plate or platter -- a warm plate will melt the gelatin. Then invert plate and mold together. Lift off mold carefully -- if gelatin doesn't release easily, dip the mold in warm water again. If necessary, move gelatin to center of plate.

Fill a cake pan or deep dish with warm water and place the mold into the warm water. Wait 30-45 seconds, and then the jello should slide out of mold easily. If not, increase the time in the warm water bath.

I always hold or dip the mold with the jello still in it; into a bowl of very warm water for a minute or so, then turn it over onto a plate and it always slides right out for me. Good luck!

Dip the outside of the mould in warm water. Cover with a plate and turn upside-down and shake until the jello slips out.
Good luck!

If you dip the mold into warm water without getting it inside, that should help. But if you didn't spray it with something non-stick first, you are probably going to have a problem no matter what you do.

Fill the sink with HOT water, quickly dip the bottom of the mold in the water then invert on a plate it should release

Soak the molds in a sink of hot water. The gelatin will loosen so that you can remove them without breakage.

You should have sprayed the molds with some cooking spray first.

Four or five friends with the same sized spoon and see who can get the biggest chunk to their mouth without dropping it.
