What are the benefits of using gelatin mass? For example, to make 60g of gelatin mass you will need 10 grams of gelatin powder and 50 grams of water. A good default to assume is 1 part gelatin powder to 5 parts water. The ratio for gelatin mass may vary across recipes. The mass is heated over a bain-marie to avoid overheating the gelatin which will affect its setting power. Then allow the mixture to set in the fridge. To make gelatin mass, combine the water and gelatin powder in a bowl and heat over a bain-marie and mix until the gelatin is dissolved. Gelatin mass is the product of hydrating the gelatin powder in water. Hydrating the powder will ensure the gelatin will completely dissolve. Gelatin powder needs to be bloomed or hydrated in water before using. They are not the same and require different amounts, are prepared differently and have various advantages and disadvantages. There are different types and forms of gelatin: “gelatin powder”, “gelatin mass” or “gelatine leaves/sheets”. What are the different types/forms of gelatin?
If you don’t apply the conversion formulas correctly, you could end up in trouble. Using the precise amount is the key to achieving the perfect wobble of a pannacotta, a smooth and silky mirror glaze that cuts cleanly or an airy and light mousse. Too little, and you’re left with a puddle. Too much and you’ll end up with a piece of rubber.
