Welcome
The patented Zoku Quick Pop Maker revolu-
tionizes the way ice pops are made. Watch
pops magically freeze before your eyes in
minutes. The Quick Pop Maker works with al-
most any type of juice. Other ingredient ideas
include yogurt (mixed with milk so it is easier
to pour), sweetened coffee, chocolate milk,
fruit smoothies, striped pops, flavored core
pops – the possibilities are endless!
Juices that contain artificial sweeteners (aspar-
tame, saccharin, etc.) may be difficult or impos-
sible to remove from the Quick Pop Maker and
are not recommended.
Soft ingredients such as ice cream and pud-
ding may also be difficult to remove since they
may be too soft, and the stick may slip out
during the removal process.

Remove and Enjoy!
Once the pop is frozen, place the Super Tool LEVEL AND UPRIGHT over the stick and
rotate clockwise (fig A). The Super Tool should spin easily until it touches the surface of
the metal mold (only apply force when turning the Super Tool once it comes in contact
with the top of the mold). Continue turning the Super Tool until the pop loosens from the
mold and starts to rise slightly (fig B). Once the pop is loosened, unscrew the Super Tool
counter-clockwise to remove it from the stick (fig C). Attach the optional drip guard to
the stick and lift the pop out of the mold (fig D).

If the Quick Pop Maker is properly frozen and your juice is chilled, the pops should freeze
in 7-9 minutes.* Each Quick Pop Maker can make up to 3 batches (with each additional
batch taking longer to freeze) before it needs to be frozen again. The Triple Quick Pop
Maker can make up to 9 pops, the Duo Quick Pop Maker can make up to 6 pops, and the
Single Quick Pop Maker can make up to 3 pops. *Individual results will vary.

Making Unique
Quick Pops®
NOTE: Unique Quick Pops take a bit longer to
make than single flavored pops, but they are
worth the wait. Also, the number of batches
may be reduced when making unique pops.
Zebra Pop
This method produces a pop with multiple
layers (fig A). Follow the instructions up until
step 3 (on page 4). Then partially fill the mold
cavity with juice. Wait until that portion is fro-
zen and then pour a different flavor. Repeat
this process until the juice reaches the fill line.
Then, continue with step 4 (on page 5).
TIP: For fun angles, try tipping the Quick Pop
Maker by placing a book under one side while
each layer freezes (fig B). For insane Zoku
geometry (fig C) use the Zoku Tool Kit, sold
separately.

Adding Other
Ingredients
Other ingredients such as nuts, candy, and
fruit can be used in your Quick Pops. Just
make sure they are small enough to fit into
the molds and that the sticks are properly
positioned BEFORE the dry ingredients are
added. Thinly sliced fruit can be placed on
the walls of the molds prior to adding sticks
and filling. Just make sure the sticks are in-
serted properly before filling with liquid. The
resulting pop will have fruit lining the outside.
In addition, fruit smoothies can be blended
and poured into the Quick Pop Maker. The
options are endless. BE CREATIVE!
NOTE: Some types of ice cream, yogurts and
puddings may be difficult or impossible to
remove from the Quick Pop Maker. Since the
consistency of these ingredients can be soft,
the sticks may slip out of the pop even when
they are frozen. If a pop is stuck, do not force
the Super Tool or the sticks may break.
Flavored Core Pop
Pour the shell flavor (follow steps 1-3, on
pages 3-4). Wait until you see the outer shell
freeze (the longer you wait, the thicker the
shell will be). Remove the unfrozen liquid from
the center of the pop by drinking it with a
straw (fig A) or use the siphon from the Zoku
Tool Kit, sold separately (fig B). Next, pour in
the core flavor and wait until it freezes. Con-
tinue with Step 4 (on page 5).

Alternative Natural
Sweeteners
Natural sweeteners such as agave nectar,
honey, maple syrup, molasses, and fruit juice
concentrates taste great and help make
the pops easier to remove. Make sure the
sweeteners are dissolved or incorporated
completely into the liquid before pouring into
the pop molds.
Cleaning and Storage
DO NOT WASH THE QUICK POP MAKER IN
THE DISHWASHER. ALWAYS STORE THE
UNIT LEVEL AND UPRIGHT.
We do not recommend washing The Quick
Pop Maker after every use. Just place it back
in the freezer and it will always be ready to
make more Quick Pops!
Cleaning the Quick Pop Maker is simple, here
are some important tips to follow:
It is important that the unit is COMPLETELY
DEFROSTED before washing so water does
not freeze in the molds. Even warm water can
freeze quickly and make washing and drying
difficult. If water is left in the molds and freez-
es, the next round of pops may be difficult or
impossible to remove.
Clean the Quick Pop Maker and accessories
with mild soap and warm water. Do not use
scouring powders, pads, or hard implements.
Dry the Quick Pop Maker completely before
placing in the freezer. Failure to do so may
make your next round of pops impossible to
remove.
Storing the Quick Pop Maker in the freezer is
the best way to keep it ready for action.
Troubleshooting
Uh oh, my Quick Pop is stuck!
Don’t sweat it, sometimes it happens. Here
are some simple tips to ensure effortless
Quick Pop removal:
1) DO NOT USE BEVERAGES WITH ARTIFI-
CIAL SWEETENERS such as sucralose, aspar-
tame, saccharin, etc. Plain water, carbonated
beverages, or beverages that do not have
9
enough sugar content may get stuck in the
Quick Pop Maker.
2) Make sure the Quick Pop Maker is COM-
PLETELY DRY before putting it in the freezer.
ANY water that remains in the Quick Pop
Maker’s molds prior to freezing it may pre-
vent the pops from being removed.
3) Do not fill beyond the fill line. If the molds
are overfilled the pops may be impossible to
remove (see the illustration on page 4 for fill
line indication).
4) Make sure the sticks are in place and
positioned properly BEFORE pouring
ingredients into the Quick Pop Maker (see
step 2 on page 4).
5) If a pop is stuck, do not apply excessive
force to the Super Tool or try to pry the pop
out. Simply defrost the Quick Pop Maker by
running it under warm water, refreeze the
unit, and try again with another type of juice
(see cleaning instructions).
6) The stick may slip out of soft ingredients
such as ice cream and pudding. Check and
see if the stick is slipping out of the pop. If so,
try other ingredients.
The Super Tool is jammed.
If the Super Tool is hard to turn or jams
BEFORE it comes into contact with the mold
surface simply unscrew it and try again. The
Super Tool should spin easily until it touches
the surface of the metal mold. To prevent the
Super Tool from jamming, keep it LEVEL AND
UPRIGHT when spinning it on the stick. Only
apply force when turning the Super Tool once
it comes in contact with the top of the mold
surface. This will lift the pop from the mold.
My stick broke while removing the
Quick Pop.
It is possible to break the stick with the Super
Tool when used with excessive force. Visit
www.zokuhome.com to order replacement
parts.
The stick came out and the Quick Pop
stayed in the mold.
The ingredients were not completely frozen
or they were too soft for making pops (some
types of ice cream, puddings and yogurt may
not work well). Try waiting longer before re-
moving the pop, or use different ingredients.
