Molecular Gastronomy - Mango Verrines - Verrines de mangues

[masterknowlege]

since it's made with agar does that mean you can use it to grow cultures?

[cheriness]

WHAT?? this isnt molecular gastronomy! this is normal agar agar jelly! pssshhhh!

[2babecat]

@ClassicalMMAChef agar's texture is less flexible and it breaks easier.

[espakor]

Ahhh maybe that's what Jesus did when he seemingly walked on water. lol

[ClassicalMMAChef]

Will this yield a different result if it is done with gelatin? I have no idea of where to get Agar :S

[SetiFur]

@ClassicalMMAChef You can actually get in on there site either by itself or in a kit they sell.

[Bregeduur1]

Just so you know, a lot of commercial brands of jello not only use cows and pigs bones, but bones from all sorts of discarded animals.

Never ask someone who works for Haribo, it could affect your taste for food...

[elliottonyt]

I suppose the is a good jelly alternative for vegetarians!

Like Me!

@elliottonyt Even for non-vegetarians... gelatin is simply disgusting when you know how it's made!

[ShatterEffectt]

@MrJohnCoutu lol pretty ignorant thing to say... you not like stock? seriously in what way is it disgusting? In fact the entire process is freaking ingenius of human beings and bones and skin are in no way disgusting. Ever eaten a frozen hamburger patty or a hamburger patty anywhere that does not explicitly state where the meat is from and what cuts were used? i bet you have. so did you know that that meat is from the shittiest parts and treated with ammonia? ammonia fucks up your memory BTW.

[ShatterEffectt]

@MrJohnCoutu seriously comments like this really piss me off, if you don't like animal bones then get out of the kitchen like wtf that's a serious insult to the culinary world saying a great invention like gelatin is disgusting because it's made from cartillage and stuff. i don't know why you are looking at molecular cuisine videos when you obviously don't know anything about basic cuisines of the world and how to cook basic classics.

@ShatterEffectt preach on reverend teach them assholes---nyc chef here

[magical11]

@MrJohnCoutu Because obviously, bones and marrow are completely different things from the meat. If the animal is dead, might as well use it all up.

[MoleculeRflavors]

@elliottonyt Indeed!

[TheMagalieP]

And I don't think there are any real fruits in jello...

[MoleculeRflavors]

The thing is that the gelatin in jello is "derived from the collagen inside animals' skin and bones" (wiki;) ... or more simply extracted from boiled animals! Agar is an algae that is dried and reduced in powder. Your choice!! The texture is quite different as well, you should give it a try ;)

[Georgelangham]

@MoleculeRflavors

I thought agar was seaweed powder

[piegernades]

@Georgelangham Algae is seaweed.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't this just normal jelly / jello?
