Understanding Gelatin: Sheets V. Powder Pt 1 of 3

[@MegaVincentChan]

FINALLY! Thank you for this very informative and easy to understand explanation of gelatine ratios and grades.

[@boots1801]

This was a great video, thank you. I used to worry about the bloom strengths but didn't realize the weight of each leaf was different

[@davidogan]

Great explanation. Thank you. Now i know what to do after years of hits and misses.

[@Ohverture]

THANK you for this.

[@schulze420]

Where can i buy bulk 230 sheets? Also how different is 230 bloom vs 250 bloom powder?

[@rubykeiss1540]

Wow this makes so much sense. I use gold for panacotta as I hate the taste of the powder. Do you have a recipe for coconut panacotta for 8 serves please? Great video thank you.

Which grade of sheets would you use on a dessert glaze, say a marble glaze on a cake

[@cmondine]

Thank you

[@saekan2815]

Thank you. This is just the information I was looking for.

[@JacobBurton]

Great. Glad you enjoyed it!

I hope you still track these comments. I'm in Massachusetts and on a whim bought some Condi brand gelatin sheets (a Portuguese brand) and it's color category is White (or Branca.) After HOURS of searching I cannot determine what the US equivalent category would be. I can't assume silver because it might be platinum. To make it worse, the mousse recipe calls for powdered - either 1/2T or 5g. (I've never made mousse with gelatin but it's topping a flourless chocolate cake so firmer set is important.) But if I go by liquid ratio is that only the warmed milk or TOTAL mousse volume? Eggs, whipping cream, milk, espresso, sugar, etc? There's just NO NEED for things to be this complicated. I feel like I'm in a chemistry of food class in culinary school, lol. HELP!!!

[@JacobBurton]

Go by the total weight of the mousse for the correct gelatin amount, and weigh the gelatin sheet as well. As far as how it converts with the brand you purchased, I'm not sure, I've never worked with that brand before. I would treat it like a silver sheet and see where you end up. Good luck!

[@Maiasatara]

+Jacob Burton - thanks for the advice. Next to that "branca" or white yesterday they also had "vermelha" which is red. Since it's only $1 a package for 4 sheets I'm going to do a comparison experiment soon. If I'm happy and it's cheaper I'll have a starting point. And if I ever find a description written in Portuguese I gave plenty of friends to translate. Thank you again. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!

If you've got the time and the patience, (and access to distilled water), it is quite easy to make gelatin sheets from the powder. .

[@rebeccacornel8199]

sir do i need to cut the gelatin sheets while using and how i know how many sheets of gelatin to use....cause i live in India i have only seen the powder form

[@JacobBurton]

Use the weighted ratios of .7-1.7% by weight, starting at around 1.4%. So if you have 1000g of liquid you want to gel, multiply that by .014 which will give you 14g of powdered gelatin.

[@rebeccacornel8199]

thank you very much sir for uploading this video...i really learnt alot from it :-)

[@JacobBurton]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Medietos]

Thanks for good video, except I am too sick and tired to get it all. Takeaway: Don't fear using gelatin!

[@Barbarra63297]

I want to make my own Cool Whip but I only have access to sheet gelatin. Trying to figure out the amount of sheets I would need. All the recipes I find call for gelatin powder. Any advice?

[@doabrewinfo6212]

Soak the sheets in cold water they're hydrated and very pliable (squeeze out excess water with your hand before using). Meanwhile heat part or all of the cream to about 125F, then add sheets and mix till well dissolved into the cream. Gelatin dissolves around 95F, so you need to get it warmer than that. Chill the cream to 35-40F, then whip as usual. Easier, is to use Xanthan gum, if you can get it. A .5% by weight to cream will make great "Cool Whip" or Chantilly, and you don't need to heat the cream, as the Xanthan will dissolve and thicken in hot or cold liquids. Xanthan, Guar, Locust bean has been unjustly villified as unhealthy, and not at all the case.
