  • Before it jells, you can combine with Cool Whip and place it in a pie pan. Chill it in the fridge for a while and you have a pie.
  • Gelatin can be used in many ways in cooking. In its purified form, it has no color or flavor, and so Gelatin can be flavored with any number of different additives and colored to any hue you desire. It is especially popular as a dessert item, served either by itself, or with fruit added, multiple flavors/colors combined, whipped into a froth, and many other, various ways. Gelatin is a very useful "suspension medium" when used in a decorative or displayed manner, such as the culinary artform of "garde manger"(pronounced- Gar mohn-zjay). Clear and semi-solid when chilled, Gelatin can be used to "freeze-frame" a scene for use as a centerpiece in a large buffet-style menagerie, like at a corporate dinner, or on a cruise ship. I once witnessed my Chef, Chef Wayne "Butch" Lankowski, a Master of Garde' Manger, creating a sea-scape where Shrimp pulled a carriage of crabshell down a pathway in a scene reminiscent of Cinderella, using various crustaceans and mollusks, squid and octopus, Herbs and other vegetation, all suspended in mid-motion in a large molded "loaf" of clarified gelatin. It was quite remarkable! In this respect, one is limited in using gelatin only by one's own imagination.

You use Gelatin as a gelling agent. This is used with foods, for example to make an aspic with fish, or vegetables. To use the Gelatin you mix it with meat stock, or a consomme. The Gelatin is added to the liquid and the solid meats, or vegetables are then suspended in the liquid.

What is 1 envelopes of gelatin?

Some manufacturers of Gelatine, package it in little paper bags about 4 Centimetre square. Each bag contains a small amount of about 2 to 4 grams. They are called envelopes. They commonly give you a recipe for things and tell you how many envelopes of their gelatin to use in their recipe. It is a cunning little sales gimmick to encourage you to use their brand of gelatin and only use their recipes. I never buy gelatin in this 'envelope ' form because they never indicate the weight, or the volume, of gelatin in the envelopes. Buy Gelatine in small containers without envelopes. They usually sell small cardboard or plastic containers of gelatin which hold typically about 100 gram when full. always keep them sealed, because gelatin absorbs moisture from the atmosphere and becomes lumpy. When dissolving gelatin, always stir it very rapidly with a fork (not a spoon) and start stirring it instantly , before it has time to absorb water and get lumpy. If the recipe calls for gelatin and sugar; mix the sugar and gelatin together DRY first, then add the water. This will made the dissolving work better, and help avoid lumps of sticky gelatin in your finished mixture.

Why does pannacotta not set when you add gelatine?

If using leaf gelatin it is always important to soak the gelatin in brandy or another alcohol so that the mixture is not diluted but instead has the perfect texture. To make shore that the pannacotta sets it is important to add the gelatin when you remove the mixture from the heat and leave for 2 - 3 minuets so that the gelatin completely dissolves. If you decide to use powdered gelatin only use the minimum amount of water to dissolve it in so again not to dilute the pannacotta mix. Out of these two gelatin's it is better to use leaf gelatin as it makes a better set. Lastly if these tips do not help it may wise to try a different recipe that may have a better mixture of ingredients to preform the set that you are looking for. The chef in training
