Substitute potato flour for the cornstarch. Mix one cup potato flour with 1/2 to 2/3 cup water, adding the water gradually until the desired consistency is achieved. Add a few drops of a desired food color.
You would use potato starch and water
For thickening soups, stews, and gravies, you can use flour instead of cornstarch.
Ah, oobleck is such a wonderful thing to create! The independent variable for oobleck could be the ratio of cornstarch to water you use in your mixture. By changing this ratio, you can observe how it affects the consistency and behavior of your oobleck. Remember, there are no mistakes in oobleck-making, just happy little accidents!
Cream is not a good replacement for cornstarch. Instead use 2 tablespoons of flour for 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Or you could use 4 teaspoons of quick cooking tapioca for 1 tablespoon of cornstarch.
just use the same measurement as the cornstarch.but let the flour sit for 20-30 mins
Yes, you can substitute arrowroot for cornstarch in this recipe.
Use flour in cold water allowed to sit for at least 20 minutes.
the mixture for Oobleck (non newtonian fluid) is about 1.5 parts cornstarch for each part water so for 5 gallons of water one needs 7.5 gallons of corn starch. which means you would need a container that can hold 12.5 gallons. I'm assuming you want to fill a 5 gallon container full of oobleck so if you want to fill a 5 gallon conatiner with oobleck you have to use the relationship 1.5X+X=5. where x is the gallons of water and 1.5x is the gallons of oobleck. which would give us 3 gallons of cornstarch and 2 gallons of water. so given that cornstarch weighs .333lbs per cup. 3 gallons * 4quarts/gallon *4cups/quart = 48 cups 48cups * .333 lbs/cup ~ 16 lbs so 16 lbs of cornstarch to 2 gallons of water will fill a 5 gallon container with oobleck. you may need to use a little more or less, but this should get you close to the right mixture.
You can use flour instead of cornstarch.
To substitute cornstarch for flour in a recipe, use half the amount of cornstarch as you would flour. For example, if a recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of flour, you would use 1/2 tablespoon of cornstarch instead. Cornstarch is a good thickening agent, so it works well in recipes that require a thick consistency.
No. I tried that, it turned out terrible.
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour = 1 Tbsp cornstarch Whatever amount of cornstarch your recipe calls for, just double that measurement and use flour instead.
