[@buddhapiyao1315]

sriracha caviar sounds good for Indian and Thai dishes. Thanks - will make some soon

[@mq2311]

I love the last one....beautiful pearls

[@Camille_Boomer77000]

Really cool recipes! I love using agar for my jellies of all kind. I didn't think about using it for mousse before and I think that's a fantastic idea. I will definitely give a try to the match one!

[@poincianacouponing1622]

Thanks. I just bought some agar agar. I don’t eat pork but love gummies. Plan on making healthy ones for my nieces and nephews.

Perfect and simple spherification!Agar is a favourite ingredient! Nice work...

Thanks so much for this video! Wished Gelatin as a whole was replaced by this amazing much safer and cruelty-free and nature-safer ingredient worldwide. Got a bucket of it myself and wanted to add that if anyone doesn't have these sold in convenience stores in their countries, they can try any shop that sells lab equipments too since this is also used as a high-level nutrition for organisms, just make sure the company that has made it approves oral consumption of it too.

[@oldchild527]

And in long term it's also cheaper! And heat resistant

[@selinaoakley3613]

That's good to know. Thanks. In the UK it is mostly sold in Asian supermarkets..in 1kg bags for approx £3. 50 g from a wholefood shop is £2.84...no brainer.

[@dueie83]

nah gelatin is better lol

[@EnhaTannies]

@@dueie83 I’m a Muslim so I have no idea how it tastes😅

[@ניין-י9ש]

​@@EnhaTannies smells kinda foul so couldn't get that feeling off when eating anything related to that... Since it's basically skin and bones

[@normajeanslagel4633]

I am just learning about about agar-agar, which is how I landed on your video. Very nice. The gummy Candis will work amazing with my Elderberry syrup. I will have to order some agar-agar to do just this thing. I am very interested though in your grapefruit pearls. What all can you use those for? And how long are they good for in the refrigerator? I did read in the comments not to freeze but I didn't see anywhere about how long they would last in the refrigerator. I am thinking these grapefruit pearls might go nicely on a seaweed salad which is something else I am learning about. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge I did indeed subscribe.

[@kukulidouce2014]

Thanks for sharing the recipes...!!! Now it would nice to have a similar video teaching us how to use Xanthan gum...!!! Thank you again...

[@ChefStudioChannel]

No problem and thanks for the comment! Hmm thats a good idea actually ☺️

Thank you for all your beautiful videos, so enjoyable.

[@violetcarson5532]

Wooooow that's cool..how would you use agar agar to make marshmallows? I want to make marshmallows for my son but I don't want to use the gelatine. May you give me advice on this? Thank you in advance. Have a,WONDERFUL weekend 😊

[@pandah3217]

Yes you can! Search agar marshmallows

[@augustobrk4528]

Those spheres are insanely easy! Thank you!

[@victorhugoishere]

I'm very happy I found your channel - and subscribed. Exactly the types of videos I needed to try stuff like this at home. Great quality too!

[@zoltanhorvath1391]

So happy to found this channel. Lot of good ideas and inspiration! Keep up!

[@barbzinciong9426]

Thank you for ur techniques, very straight forward🤩🤩🤩

[@Qcpaintballer]

Thanks for the tips! The pearls are so fun and easy to make. Will definitely try agar for future mousse. ✌️

[@yangscontemporarycuisineya2681]

Hi, What is the texture like for the pearls?

[@Qcpaintballer]

@@yangscontemporarycuisineya2681 it's all depends on the agar/liquid ratio. I can't tell about her recipe but for the few times that I did it the results were very soft and tender. It's not chewy and It won't pop in your mouth. Oh Small tips that I learned by doing it. If you want to avoid squashed spheres, use a tall container for the oil otherwise your spheres might not solidify in time before they reach the bottom.

[@iamthelord11]

Pier-Luc Verville thank you very much for the sharing and reply. I will definitely keep your tips in mind. I will trying this recipe out before ordering the calcium lactate and sodium alginate

[@DieselSmoke2191]

I will try it but so far a very clean video thanks

[@ninemimesleft]

These recipes are super creative! Thank you!

[@stewsons]

Can I keep reusing the oil and do the beads stick together on the last recipe? Very helpful.

[@selinaoakley3613]

Lots of useful information..thank you very much 🙏🏽

[@firstnamelastname8938]

For the last recipe could I use cranberry juice instead of grape fruit juice?

[@maehlers]

I love the bowls you used for your Matcha Mousse - would love to know where you got them!

[@TheCooksTV]

Literally just subscribed I love this channel only two videos in

[@scarlettmiami5582]

Can the gummies be made with coconut oil? Im looking for a recipe for my daughter to consume coconut oil, but with agar agar please. Thank you.

[@jasonsardie8085]

Hello. Not sure if you have been responded to or have tried it yourself. But I would expect it to work but may need more agar agar to set properly due to the density of the oil and all the goodies that extra virgin coconut oil contains.

[@zahraadelung9085]

Awesome! That is what I was looking for! Only wondering how to use or eat gourmet.

[@kyrylobutenko]

Love your videos! Great content and great footage not like many other food making channels, keep it up!

Hi... Can you mix the coconut milk with fresh milk like 50/50 thanks Awsome video thank you so much

More video with agar-agar please

[@ChefStVladimir]

About second recipe.. if you boiled just a water with agar-agar, after you put it in the blender jar, little bit waiting for cool, add matcha powder (ceremonial grade) and mix together, you have more greeny color! ;-)

[@ChefStudioChannel]

Thanks for this! Will try this sometime :)

[@SpeakingFacts12390]

Omg thann u so much for this video ❤❤❤

[@AbiNomac]

Excellent. Thanks

[@tomasstrelciunas758]

Hello thanks for the video i just discover agar agar so want substitute gelatin with it . Could you by any chance let me know how much agar agar i will need for the recipe which calls 15g g of pork gelatin to make orange confit (400g orange pure) .Thank you.

[@Misbah.404]

i do 1/3 tsp agar agar every 1 tsp of gelatin. many people like 1:1 ratio but i and many other bloggers find that 1:1/3 ratio gives the nearest result. to find out what works best for you boil 1 cup of water and add 1/2 tsp agar agar and set half of the mixture aside to let it set and in the other half add 1/2 tsp more and boil and setit aside to set , see which texture from the test batch is more suitable and go that way.

[@stellahwang7428]

@@Misbah.404 Thank you!

[@sophiapanaetova7831]

Hi so glad to find you !!! One question, what is the shelf-life for the gummy bears?

[@MrMG76]

Can you do this with alcohol.. like making amaretto pearls or droplets to serve with ice cream

[@jessicaperissinotti5404]

Wondering if you have a method of how to know how much agar to use vs. liquid in a recipe? Thanks !

[@victoriadelfonsofrancisco8827]

How do you store the gummies and the pearls? And what is the shelf life? Thank you!

[@jessicaperissinotti5404]

Would you be able to use Agar for spreadable jelly/jam? Trying to find a good recipe for this, but I think it's all a bit new! Love your videos! :) (from a fellow Ontarian)

[@ChefStudioChannel]

Yes probably! While agar sets hard if you blitz it once it has set you get a really smooth gel.

[@stellahwang7428]

Lot of people use agar for their jam!

[@ironmonkey349]

Do you think the agar agar pearls would work with demi-glace? Like there is already gelatine in demi so i wonder.. that would make crazy umami pearls 🥺😲

[@peerapongchaunhuai1245]

Thank you

[@noldybolung]

Love you chef 👍👍❤️

[@xesse1]

If I wanted to make a gel from a liquid that’s already thick (mustard for example), would I have to dilute it with water so that it doesn’t burn whilst I’m boiling it?

[@indrajitsaha253]

Can the boiling be done in the microwave? It would be great if you could make a video on it.

[@jetx2710]

WE NEED MORE VIDEOOOOOO!!!!! plz :>

[@ChefStudioChannel]

I’m trying!! I promise I’ll do more!

[@jetx2710]

@@ChefStudioChannel YOUR AWESOME!!!!!!!

[@ufaalvaro]

I like it..We have bunch of agar2 here.. Not gelatine.

[@samysiahaan]

Question about the sphere (pearls). Does it pop as a liquid or does it stay more as a jelly? I’m thinking about making it with a demi glace if it pops

[@andrewchristian1479]

It stays jelly like, if you want to make spheres that pop look into sodium alginate spherification

[@saradigota7201]

Does agar only work with plant based milks? How bout with regular cowmilk?

[@fbyakugan]

For the grapefruit pearls, are they liquified inside, or are they dense inside?

[@tobe3940]

Thank you so much for the helpful video. I made a mistake in making some gummies (for the first time) and I was wondering if anyone would maybe shed some light on where I might have gone wrong. I did it exactly like how you prepared the gummy bears, mixed a cup of water and some sweet sorbet and three tbsp of agar powder, boiled them for a minute or two, let it cool and put it in the fridge for about an hour. When I tried it it tasted so bad (like how I'd imagine plastic bags used for trash would taste like) despite the pleasant aroma and the texture despite having mixed it thoroughly was very powdery and all in all felt like I was chewing on silicon plastic. Any ideas what mistake/s I made and what I need to correct or change for the next time for this not to happen?

[@eileenfb1948]

I wonder if it was old stock way past its expiry date!

[@scarlettmiami5582]

For the gummy bears, is it possible to add the juice right before transferring to the molds?

[@P1k4__]

Hi, i was wondering does the acidity of the juice (e.g. lemon juice instead of grapefruit) affects the agar agar ?

[@mog5353]

For the last recipe, does the oil get too contaminated to be used for general purpose again?

[@yangscontemporarycuisineya2681]

Hello, thanks for the upload, what is the texture of the pearl like?

[@naghmakhanum5761]

Interesting ideas👍

[@angeliquemacawili3693]

Hi, i have a question. Will it melt once it has exposed to a hot liquid? I mean, like the gummies if ever im gonna put it in a hot liquid, will it melt?

[@sav2525]

Lovely ! Can I replace sugar with honey for the gummies ?

[@Sam-gp8we]

Yes you can also use honey or marple syrup instead of sugar :)

[@zephyr707]

how close does dehydrating get to gelatin chewiness/texture? agar gummies always seem to have a crumbly feel to them and shear in one direction vs a stretchy feel in gelatin based gummies.

[@SuperKnowledgeSponge]

I have a random question - can you caramelize white chocolate over the stovetop with a dry pan + white chocolate pellets? Or should I caramelize them with a gentler cooking method like bain marie?

[@eileenfb1948]

when we caramelise a food we stop short of burning it. But chocolate melts it does not remain solid.

[@sathvikakrishnan4020]

What could I replace with the matcha? Wanted to make a coffee chocolate mousse, so can I replace the matcha powder with Expresso powder?

[@JawadHussain]

Dear friend , its too good for cavians to made but can we use in any hot iquid as to serve in hot tea products where it cant be suspended in temp ?

[@cbryce9243]

I think it would melt in hot water, but you can try it and see what happens.

[@waterlover2313]

Can you make the little caviar without oil?

[@blankdice8357]

Also the pearls look like caviars.

does the pearls work with water?

Why add sugar? Isn't fruit juice sweet enough?

[@ChefStudioChannel]

Good question! You can do without sugar if you prefer and definitely isn’t necessary with sweeter fruit juices ☺️ hope this helps

[@parshantmish9825]

Thanks for the video. But I have a question what some of the Pectin and sugar instead of raw agar powder, why?? Is pectin is better and safer than agar powder?? Please explain

[@Shankonavibes]

I tried making, but agar quantity is too less. I finally got the consistency with 2tbsp agar. Also 1 standard teaspoon is 5g and 1tbsp is 15g

[@Misbah.404]

she used powder , if you used flakes or strands you would require 1tbsp if powder 1 tsp.

[@bholirawat8141]

Can we use agar agar sheets

[@alexx3566]

Do you need to use sugar

[@BellXllebMusic]

Why do you need to use a whole liter of oil for such a small amount of pearls?

[@MrPaquibiri]

is that product available in Canada?

[@richardpeterson3753]

How tough are these gummies? I have tryed to make bears with gelatin,and they all ended up melting at room temp.no idea why lol

What oil did you use

Shelf life of agar is 2 years!

[@davidhuang6712]

How do i store pearls? How long they last?

[@Camille_Boomer77000]

Keep them in the fridge but do not put them in the freezer. Below 0 temperature will kill the agar.

[@sebastianrosales9840]

Do you guys know how long do they last ?

[@negenanader]

mine had trouble setting idk why

I used the same agar agar and molds for gummy bears lolololol

[@irondragon9775]

First time making gummy bears They basically turned into slightly soft rubber anyone got a fix?

[@juliabarresi5533]

The balls didn’t work i got so excited it took me like an hour they worked in the oil then i strained them and they all broke was so disappointed
