How do I stop rice from sticking to a sushi mold?!
Since this problem makes the sushi mold virtually useless I was wondering if anyone knew of any ways to stop the rice from ending up stuck in the small rectangular depression of the top piece of the mold?

I run it under water between each pressing. It prevents sticking and doesn't compromise the flavor of the rice.
Yanchagu is right. It's amazing how effective cooling the mold every time before putting rice is to remove the rice from the mold.
I've once heard that the hands of a sushi chef have to be relatively cold to avoid the rice sticking to the hands.
Also I always serve cooked rice with a scoop only after running water over.
Yanchagu is right, as part of preparing a bowl filled with cold water is a good idea to keep on the side. This way you can rinse the sushi mold each time with less water.
You can wet it with water. If you want flavor, you can use a water salt mixture or use rice seasoning vinegar. Good luck
Use some type of cooking spray or spray it with some evoo.
