    Romi, hi

    what is in receipt mentioned – powder gelatin in gramms or gelatine sheets?

    for gelatin mass: for 1 part of gelatin you need 5 parts of water= 60 gr gelatine mass is 10 gr of gelatine +50 gr of water.

    Usually silver gelatine is 160 blum (power of gelatine) and weight 2,5 gr per sheet .

    Please check the receipt or video – usually chefs mentioned this points in receipt or video.

    Best regards – Elena

    Hi @romi-amid

    If a recipe calls for 3 sheets of gelatin and we want to convert it to powdered gelatin, the 3 gelatin sheets must be multiplied by 1.5 or 1.6, the result will be the amount of powdered gelatin you need.

    To hydrate the gelatin powder, hydrate it with water for 5 times the weight of gelatin or gelatin powder.

    We hope this information is helpful.

    Greetings.
