What is beef gelatin?

Gelatine is an animal derived setting agent - it's clear and practically tasteless. It's obtained by boiling the animal carcases, once all the meat has been removed, then straining the water to obtain the gelatine. Beef gelatine is from cows (sometimes called bovine gelatine). Gelatine comes in a powder form, or as a clear sheet (or 'leaf'). It dissolves in water, enabling substances to 'set', like jellies. A vegetarian alternative is agar gel, sometimes called "agar agar" gel. It's derived from seaweed and has a higher melting temperature (so you can serve a jelly with a warm sauce without the jelly melting).
