Preparación de Agar Agar

1

Dissolve the powder in a boiling liquid, for example water, milk or cream. Use about 8 g powder with 1 liter of liquid.

Do you use milk to dissolve the Agar Agar? Then we recommend to always keep your dish in the refrigerator.

2

Once the powder has completely dissolved, add the mixture to your dish.

Agar Agar already binds at room temperature, so you don’t have to let your dish stiffen in the fridge. Keep in mind that Agar Agar loses its binding power after 2 days, so don’t make your dish too far in advance.

Binding power
FunCakes Agar Agar has a gel strength of min. 700 g/cm3 (based on Nikan / 1.5% 20°C). The binding power is 4-5 times higher than of gelatin. So adjust your recipe accordingly if you replace the gelatin in a recipe for agar agar. We recommend using 8 g of agar agar powder on 1 liter of boiling liquid (water, milk, cream).

Solidify
Agar Agar solidifies at room temperature, so your dish does not have to stiffen in the refrigerator and in warm weather it will last longer outside the refrigerator than when using gelatin. Do you use agar agar in dairy products? Then keep your dish in the fridge. After about 2 days, agar agar loses its binding power. So don’t make your dish too far in advance.
