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.
