Yes.
Because when the base of the gelatin does not thicken first before adding the solid ingredients, the solid ingredients you are going to add will settle at the bottom of your gelatin mixture.
Yes, the dessert Gelatin is a type of colloid. It is a colloid because it can be easily made by adding powder to water so that it congeals.
Freshly whipped cream begins to loose volume and liquify quickly unless stabilized during whipping with a product like "Whip-It" or plain gelatin. (For each cup of cream, soften 1/2 t. gelatin in 1 T. cold water; heat for a few seconds in a microwave to dissolve, then cool to room temperature before adding to the cream during whipping.) Cream may be whipped without a stabilizer and chilled for a few hours, however. This will require whisking briefly by hand or machine immediately before serving to reincorporate liquid and regain lost volume.
To fix whipped topping that has been over beaten stir slowly until it thickens. Adding a bit more cream will also work to fix over beaten whipped topping.
Gel-To let a food set or become solid by adding gelatin.
No, sugar does, this was my science project. -THANKS, this helped a lot
I believe that sugar will make your gelatin stronger because of the amount of sugar ].Another way to make jello stronger is by adding less water to the gelatin and letting sit more time in your fridge or freezer.
It is not recommended to heat pre-sweetened gelatin desserts directly, as high heat can break down the gelatin and affect the texture of the dessert. It is best to follow the instructions on the package, which typically involve adding the gelatin mix to hot water first to dissolve it, then allowing it to set before serving.
Blooming gelatin is just the process of soaking it in water before adding it to other ingredients - it helps the gelatin to dissolve evenly. To bloom gelatin leaves, place as many as you require in a bowl of cold water and leave for 4-5 minutes. Then remove the gelatin and place into the warm liquid which requires the gelling agent. To bloom gelatin powder, pour the gelatin onto the surface of a small cup of warm water. DO NOT STIR YET! Leave it for 5 minutes to soak and soften, then stir the liquid to combine the gelatin. (The purpose of not stirring immediately is because this can form lumps.)
Adding gelatin to water increases the boiling point of water because the gelatin particles disrupt the normal bonding between water molecules, requiring more heat energy to break these bonds and reach the boiling point. The gelatin acts as a solute, which raises the boiling point of the solution compared to pure water.
The proteins in the pineapple called bromelain will break down the strands of protein in gelatin that forms jello. Hence, the effect of a fresh piece of pineapple on gelatin is able to keep the gelatin liquidfied.
