I have the molds too, but have never tried them. I usually make my taco
salads with no shell though, so not much reason to use them. I think I got
them with the last of the rewards on a credit card a few years ago. There is
no sloppy mess with the bowl shape since the bottom of most bowls are flat,
but since you have the molds, might as well use them.
