Gelatine Sheets Clear 23g Dr Oetker

Gelatine sheets are a versatile ingredient commonly used in culinary preparations. They are thin, transparent sheets made from collagen extracted from animal bones and connective tissues. Gelatine sheets are widely used in both sweet and savory dishes to add texture, stability, and a smooth mouthfeel.

When using gelatine sheets, it is important to soften them before incorporating them into a recipe. To do this, place the desired number of sheets in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 5-10 minutes until they become soft and pliable.

Once softened, remove the gelatine sheets from the water and gently squeeze out any excess liquid. The sheets are now ready to be added to your recipe. They can be dissolved by heating them in a small amount of liquid, such as water or a flavored liquid, until completely melted.

Gelatine sheets are commonly used in the preparation of desserts like panna cotta, mousses, and jellies. They can also be used to stabilize creams, custards, and fillings. Gelatine sheets provide a smooth and creamy texture to these dishes, making them more visually appealing and enjoyable to eat.

It is important to note that gelatine sheets are not suitable for vegetarian or vegan diets as they are derived from animal sources. However, there are alternatives available such as agar-agar, a plant-based gelatine substitute.
