How to use gelatine tablets and gelatine powder

How to use gelatine tablets:

Weigh: the amount of dry gelatin tablets to use

Soaking: Soak the gelatine tablets in purified water below 10°C for 15-20 minutes. The gelatine sheets should be completely submerged in the water and placed one by one. Do not stack them to avoid sticking and hindering water absorption.Chicken Collagen You can also directly weigh 6 times the water of gelatine for soaking, so that you can observe whether the gelatine tablets absorb water properly. In addition to soaking time, this is another reference for soaking in place. Special attention should be paid to the melting point of gelatine. If the soaking water temperature is too high, it will melt and become impossible to pick up. Considering the water absorbency of gelatine, if you soak it for too long, such as more than 1 hour, it will become soft and easy to break and stick to your hands, which will affect its use. Gelatine tablets are available in 2g or 5g specifications, and the water absorption is calculated based on the number of grams.

Drain: Drain the soaked gelatine sheets by hand or use kitchen paper to absorb the water.Collagen Peptides The gelatine soaked in 6 times the amount of water does not need to be drained.

Dissolve: Place the drained gelatine sheets into the warm liquid and stir to dissolve. 45℃-60℃ is the safest. The liquid with gelatine added cannot be boiled, as it will cause the gelatine to decompose and lose its coagulation power.5g Gelatin Sheet After adding, stir evenly in time and cool down quickly. There is also a method of directly putting the gelatine into the pot and heating it to dissolve. The heating should be short and the temperature should not be too high. In fact, this method has a high error rate.

Mixing and mold filling: The gelatinization of gelatine is proceeding slowly. After dissolving and cooling down, it should be mixed with other materials or poured into the mold as soon as possible. Gelatin cannot be reversed to rewarm and solidify. However, in the early stage of gelation, the gelatine solution can "insulate water and keep it warm" to avoid premature gelation.

Solidification: The liquid in which the gelatine is dissolved is refrigerated in a container or mold and allowed to solidify.
