always dissolve it in hot water. It will gel as it cools.
A liquid is capable of containing more dissolved gas when it is hot. This does not mean that it does contain more dissolved gas, simply that it can.
A cold liquid dissolves gas quicker than a hot liquid because colder temperatures slow down the motion of gas molecules, making them easier to dissolve in the liquid. Additionally, cold liquids can hold more dissolved gas compared to hot liquids.
Unsweetened gelatin is added to cold water to allow it to bloom, which means it hydrates and swells before being dissolved. Adding it to hot water directly can cause clumping and prevent even distribution. Blooming in cold water ensures a smoother texture and better incorporation into recipes once heated. This process enhances the gelatin's ability to set properly when combined with other ingredients.
To make gelatin at home, you can dissolve gelatin powder in hot water, stir until fully dissolved, then let it cool and set in the refrigerator until firm.

No, Jello will not properly gel without hot water. The hot water is essential to dissolve the gelatin granules, allowing them to create the gel structure when cooled. If you use cold water instead, the gelatin will not dissolve and will remain liquid. For best results, always follow the instructions and use hot water to prepare Jello.
The hot liquid could crack a cold glass.
To make jello from gelatin, you need to dissolve gelatin in hot water, add cold water and any desired flavorings, then refrigerate until set.
To make gelatin at home, you can dissolve gelatin powder in hot water, stir until fully dissolved, then let it cool and set in the refrigerator until firm.
Gelatin is dissolved in hot water and a gel is formed.
The list in order from least to most energy is: cold solid, cold liquid, hot liquid, hot solid, cold gas, and hot gas. Cold solids have the least energy due to their tightly packed particles, while hot gases have the most energy as their particles are far apart and move freely. In between, cold liquids and hot liquids have moderate energy levels, with hot solids having slightly more energy than cold liquids.
The quickest way to dissolve a large amount of gelatin powder in water is to first bloom the gelatin in a small amount of cold water, then heat the remaining water to near boiling and mix in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Stir vigorously to ensure thorough mixing.
