Gelatin Powder

Gelatin powder is a versatile kitchen staple, derived from collagen found in animal bones and skin. Its fine, almost translucent granules boast a neutral taste, making it a perfect canvas for a multitude of culinary creations. When dissolved in warm liquid, it transforms into a clear, shimmering gel that sets beautifully, offering a delightful wobble to desserts and dishes alike.

Notes

Ensure gelatin is fully dissolved in warm (not boiling) liquid to activate its gelling properties. It's essential to follow recipe instructions for precise measurements and timing to achieve the desired consistency.
