If your sink isn't large enough to accommodate your pan being set fully in it, I recommend filling a cookie sheet pan with warm water and setting your gelatin pan in that. Pour your gelatinous water into your pan and chill in the fridge for 3 hours.Īfter chilling, stick the bottom of the pan in warm water for 15 seconds. It looked gross, which is fine since the kids aren't eating it, but it's not best practices, because you really want all your gelatin fully activated for the best stabilization. I did this by mistake and ended up with a stable batch that had hard pieces of undissolved gelatin hanging out in it. WARNING: if you try to add the gelatin directly to the boiling water without blooming it first in the cold water, you will shock and cook the gelatin, making it hard to fully dissolve.

I do not recommend cookie sheets because they are shallow, which makes it extremely hard and dangerous to put them in the fridge without dumping boiling water all over yourself. Pan: ideally, a high-sided 8x8 square pan with 2 inches of depth, or a comparable 9x13 rectangular pan.
