Copper Jell-O molds need proper cleaning and care for to prevent damage or discoloration. Any type of copper cookware, Jello molds included, scratch easily if washed with an abrasive cloth, scrubber or cleansing agent. Most copper cookware has a coating to keep copper from contaminating the food, according to How to Clean Stuff's website. If the mold doesn't have this layer, do not use it for food. Abrasive materials can also scratch the protective layer.
