You would think it would be easy. I can pull off a 14 course Thanksgiving meal for 40 people but my jello does not jell. Nice video. Love orange too with cool whip.

[@MelLockcuff]

That's odd, Pam! Orange jello is my favorite.

[@stevrgrs]

So true! 😆

[@vincentpaiz2935]

Thank you so much for that demonstration. I used both your methods and they work. Today I tried it with Blueberry flavor and Watermelon flavor. This was fun to make. Also, I’ve never heard of jell-o cake. Ummm that sounds like fun too.

Wow yummy yummy

[@MelLockcuff]

It's really good, and so easy to make!

[@Jupe367]

Jello is addicting. I can eat it nonstop.

[@mtsmitty66]

How to you keep it from getting sticky and rubbery at the bottom of the bowl?

[@MelLockcuff]

This is usually not an issue if you whisk it together for a few minutes. You want to make sure everything is fully dissolved.

[@garyjohnson1335]

I love Jello .It's Ben long time since ,I eat it

[@MelLockcuff]

It's really good, Gary!

Hi Mel! Great video! Now i have to get me some jello! Are you in your new kitchen?

[@MelLockcuff]

Thanks, Lori! Yep, that's the new kitchen. What do you think?

[@Savedbygrace412]

@@MelLockcuff I think it ;looked cozy and pretty from what i could see! Cant wait for the tour! So happy for you!

[@itzteddybear684]

Which part of the refrigerate do you put the Jell-O????

[@MelLockcuff]

So long as your Jell-O is sealed in an airtight container, it doesn't really matter where you place it. I just stick it on whichever shelf has empty space.

[@pde445]

anything but the freezer

[@amystiles3284]

Looks good! I generally use a whisk when I mix my Jell-O. I love your little serving dishes for the Jell-O. Where did you find them? Thanks again🤗

[@bettyweber5409]

MY PROBLEM IS WHEN TO ADD THE FRUIT WHEN YOU DO THE REGULAR WAY? cAN YOU PLEASE ANSWER THIS CONCERN. THANKS

[@MelLockcuff]

Betty, the best way that I have found is to make the jello in layers. Mix up enough for a thin layer, allow it to gel up in the refrigerator, add fruit on top, and pour another layer of jello on top. Let this next layer gel up, and continue with more fruit or jello as needed. You can mix the fruit in at the very beginning, but it will likely all sink to the bottom.

[@heathercanzoneri8951]

Mix it in halfway through setting. No need for layering.

That's awesome! I'm glad it turned out well for you.

[@MelLockcuff]

Thank you, Atieh!

[@jesusleyva4386]

How do you avoid the skin layer that sometimes forms when the jello is chilled? I've heard a number of solutions: it has to do with how the mixture is settled, the jello has to be left out to cool for a little bit... I don't know what the right answer is exactly

[@MelLockcuff]

I've never had that problem. Are you covering it at all after making it? I always cover mine with plastic wrap.

[@jesusleyva4386]

@@MelLockcuff No it seems to form on the bottom. I don't cover it

[@markpettigrew542]

Bill Cosby must like this video, LOL!

I've never made or had jello I can cook, bake anything but jello I can't do

Have you noticed the Jello section is MuCh smaller than it used to be 🤷‍♀️

My son is making jello with his classmates March 20 or 21 2024.

That's great! Jello is so easy to make, and it's great for kids.

What is a jello jiggler lady

[@idk_idk9313]

Ok I’m a kid I tried making. It and it did not work idk what I did wrong I put it in the fridge and nope like first I put hot water then mixed that put cold water than mixed than put it in the fridge wait is it that I put to much water ? Oh no now ima be in trouble I was like MOM I wanna make it

[@MelLockcuff]

How much water did you use?

[@pde445]

It's possible that you may have added too much water or that you didn't let the Jello set for long enough in the fridge.

[@harrypaul7329]

Long intro.

[@Fartbooger]

Are you 20 or 50?

[@MelLockcuff]

43 to be exact.

[@Chuck0856]

Um Seriously? Couldn't we just read the directions ON the box?

[@MelLockcuff]

Charles, the answer to this is obvious. However, you would be shocked at how popular this recipe has been over on the blog. Many people do not know or understand how to make jello.

[@alexisnotfunni]

Not really, I'm a pretty incompetent person and this video helped a lot.

The jello SETS. Not "sets up". Grinds my gears every time she says it

[@MelLockcuff]

I like to let the jello set up.

[@ibstayfly]

Wow I completely did it wrong lmao. And the instructions on the box aren't very clear

[@StachaZicko]

I can't locate my prescription glasses and directions are outta focus.

[@MelLockcuff]

I'm so sorry about that! Hopefully this video helps.

[@sweetpandesal78]

I burned my hand thanks to you ty☺️

[@joanrath126]

Pretty self explanatory!

[@MelLockcuff]

I agree, Joan, but surprisingly this recipe has received an incredible amount of traffic on my blog, so I suppose it is helping a lot of people.

[@lindahunter890]

I can't believe that it requires a 9 minute video to make Jello! Hint: one can merely read the directions on the box

[@unsocialone]

The box actually says 1.5 cups of hot water and 1.5 cups of cold water

Is a 9 minute video really necessary when showing how to make jello?? 😂 This should be a minute video tops
