  1. I make homemade ice cream with an ice cream machine. I wanna use gelatine as a stabilizer coz it freezes solid if left in the freezer for too long. After blooming it in cold water and melting it in hot, I'm assuming I need to wait for it to cool down before adding it to my batter then adding to my machine, right? Also wouldn't the gelatine affect the working of the machine? Should I use milk instead of water for ice cream making? I'm a complete noob with Gelatine.

  2. I never touch it. To make perfect Jello: I sprinkle one tablespoon of gelatin into a bowl w/ a cup of COLD water as shown and leave it for 10 minutes. THEN I stir it with a whisk. Then I stir in the second cup of BOILING water until the grit is gone. THEN I add my flavor. This yields two cups of perfect Jello. Never heat it directly. ADD hot water.

  3. When you bloom it does it add liquid to the recipe. Basically my recipe calls for half a cup of liquid if I Bloom the jello in half a cup of liquid do I still have to add another half a cup to my recipe ? Or is it already inside of the bloomed gelatin?

  4. For those of you who would like to know how much water is needed, you should be soaking the gelatine for 30 mins or more in 3 to 4 times its own weight of water, or other liquids 🙂
