To make a dish using gelatin work, be sure to pre-soak the gelatin in cold boiled water. The colder the water, the better. Leaf gelatin can simply be put in a bowl of water. Before soaking the powdered gelatin, first rinse the dishes with cold water so that the crystals do not stick to the bottom. It is important to pour powdered gelatin with water, and not pour it into the water. Otherwise, lumps cannot be avoided. Then allow time for the gelatin to swell (the exact time is indicated on the package).
Swollen gelatin is heated to 70-80 degrees. It should never be brought to a boil!. At a temperature of 100 ° C, the mass becomes fibrous and viscous, collagen protein is destroyed and gelatin loses its jelly-forming properties.

For cooking, it is better to use filtered or bottled water that is neutral to taste. If you use tap water, keep in mind that it can give the dish an unpleasant characteristic taste.
