Flaky gelatine tablets, also known as gelatine tablets, are translucent, yellow-brown, and have a fishy smell. They need to be soaked in water to remove the fishy smell. The refined gelatine tablets after decoloration and deodorization are more transparent in color and more expensive. Gelatine tablets must be stored in a dry place, otherwise they will stick when they are wet. Before using gelatine tablets, soak them in cold boiled water to soften them.

method of application

soften

For the convenience of storage, the gelatin tablets need to be dehydrated and dried in the process of processing, so if you want to use gelatin tablets in making desserts, you must first soften them in cold water.

The specific operation method is to take a bowl, pour a proper amount of cold water into it, add the gelatin tablets, and stir them back and forth with a fork, so that the gelatin tablets will swell in cold water, which is often called "softening" in dessert training courses.

It should be noted here that under normal circumstances, 4 tablespoons of cold water can soften about 7g of gelatin. If it is gelatin powder, it takes about two minutes, and gelatin tablets need 15 minutes.

thaw

The softened gelatine needs to be heated in water to melt it. When the gelatine is transparent and clear, quickly pour it into the liquid ingredients and stir it well, otherwise the gelatine will stick to the bottom of the basin.

When the dessert is ready to be frozen, the gelatin will also gelatinize. If you want to speed up the gelatinization, you can take an ice bath and stir the dessert paste through ice water until you scoop it up with a spoon and pour it back into the plate.

Use skills

1 Desserts made with gelatin need to be kept in cold storage, which is easy to melt and deform in a warm environment.

2. Desserts made with gelatin are best sealed to prevent the surface from producing a colloidal surface.

3. Sugar will reduce the coagulation degree of gelatin, so the more sugar the dessert is, the softer it will be.

4. When the gelatin is melted, do not heat it to boiling, which will make the gelatin lose its condensing power.
