Adding gelatin to a mixture that is too hot

Avoiding using a mixture that is too hot when adding gelatin

When adding gelatin to a mixture that is too hot, it may lead to breaking down the gelatin and losing its gelatinous properties. Therefore, it is important not to add gelatin to a mixture whose temperature exceeds 60 degrees Celsius. To solve this problem, you must first leave the mixture to cool slightly before adding gelatin. You can also dissolve gelatin in a little cold water then add it to the mixture after it cools. To avoid this problem in the future, make sure to measure the mixture temperature before adding gelatin.
