Tupperware Jelly moulds

Help required please.
I’ve found two large Tupperware jelly type moulds when clearing out my aunts house. I remember she used to make a Charlotte Russe type dessert with sponge fingers, cream and tinned mandarin oranges. I would love to make it again. It’s just simple nostalgia but I remember me and my sisters loved it. Can anyone help please.

I still use my mould often. Summer pudding. Rice inverted on plate. Fruit and ice ring for punch. Ice cream inverted on fruit galette.

I'll try it for tiramisu, next time someone comes round.

I had one I used constantly when my children were young haven’t used it for ages so I donated it to charity. I know it will be used it’s the type of thing that will always be useful.

I did buy one at one of those dreaded Tupperware parties. Oh the pressure, the guilt trip talk- hated it. And things were so expensive too. But of course this mould is still going on.

A friend lives in a country in Europe where they have now got 'special 'parties- based on the principle and the name, They are called F***erware parties.

I've made lots of those lovely puds eg Charlotte Russe, summer pudding, tiramisu but never in the Tupperware mould.

Must dig it out again and try again ?

Like you Callistemon21 I wondered about BPA so I jettisoned the double decker dessert maker described here, two rice makers and two ice lolly kits.
Tupperware was robust but the lids, I often found, shrank.
I also had jelly moulds from a company in Diss, having saved the coupons when the children were young, and various ice cube trays amassed over the years.
It was so sad to part with them. Maybe I was overly cautious.

I'm still using the flour canisters, Nannagarra, hope they are ok. The lids are fine and the seal good.
These aren't mine btw (for sale on Ebay, £2.29 bid so far!).
