It depends on how deep the mold is but you can expect it to take several hours to really firm up. Usually after four hours the mold will be firm and will set faster if you put the mold in the freezer to chill before you put the jello in it.

Gelatin Molds?

Is it summer? Mold a gelatin dessert into a large green leaf. How about a Christmas tree or an Easter egg? Autumn is a great time for orange gelatin and Halloween themes, but any season is the right season for fun or elegantly shaped gelatin desserts. Although gelatin can seem mundane or even boring, a gelatin mold can perk it up and have your family and guests anticipating their serving. To make the best of gelatin molds, make sure the gelatin is mixed and dissolved thoroughly. Lightly oil the mold with a spray oil or an oily cloth, and chill it. Pour the gelatin into the mold and place in the refrigerator to set. That's simple enough and so simple that it's easy to experiment with the concept and have a little fun. To make a great looking gelatin dessert, spread a layer of fruit or candy in the gelatin mold, pour a two inch layer of gelatin over it and let it set, then add the rest. You can let the gelatin almost set then add fruit or whatever you like, mix it in and the put it in the mold. Get creative. Gelatin molds were meant to enjoy. Gelatin molds come in all shapes and sizes so if you want a specific shape, the chances are that you can find just what you're looking for, whether that means a cornucopia for Thanksgiving or a flag for Independence Day. Some gelatin molds are collectors items and a few are real antiques. When you start looking for just the right gelatin mold, you may wind up in some unusual places. You may come across some very interesting ones in second hand shops, auctions and antique stores. Older gelatin molds will be made of metal, with plastic replacing much of that in the last few decades and silicone now beginning to replace plastic. While metal will chill faster, silicone makes it easier to remove the gelatin. Plastic can crack after awhile, but it's sturdy and inexpensive to buy.

What is the difference between plain gelatin and instant gelatin?

Plain gelatin is just that, only gelatin. Sugar or some other sweetener must be added along with juice, fruit or other flavors. Plain gelatin can also be combined with broth and savory ingredients for a salad or vegetable mold. Instant gelatin is more finely powdered than regular gelatin so that it dissolves quicker in water. Instant gelatin does not set up quicker than plain gelatin. But it is commonly confused with commercially sweetened and artificial flavored gelatin mixes. The mixes are quicker to prepare because they do not need to anything other than water, but they do not dissolve or gel any quicker than plain gelatin.
