Danny: I TOTALLY agree we should have a cooking section. Why have we missed that before? Unfortunately I can't help you with the jello issue - I can barely boil water much less actually make any food stuffs. That's why a cooking section would be so helpful to me.

 

Sorry Danny I can't help on this one. Lots of other cooking stuff NP. I've NEVER heard or seen jello do that! Here's the answer I got from Jell-o's site.

You will get different results from variation in preparation. For best results - Water must be boiling. Water must be measured accurately. Gelatin and hot water must be stirred continuously for 2 minutes to dissolve all gelatin crystals completely.

If this don't help go to www.jello.com

Cordelia: Boiling water is simple enough: take water, add heat, wait, continue adding heat, wait while adding heat, eventually notice the water is boiling. Don't test temperature with fingers, at least your own
drmiler: Jello website, I should have thought about checking that out, good idea.

One bowl of jello is all I could stomach Danny...even then I would eat only half the bowl! It's probably because I ate so much of it as a child! My kids love it though. Believe it or not my 10 year old makes really good jello, him and his older sister or their dad makes the jello. Me, naw, it would be a mess! The temperature of the water does have something to do with how it comes out though.

Definately checking the Website is good. Here's jellooking at you!


Yep, cooking section is a great idea!

foreverserenity: That's ok, you don't need to eat the jello. Sounds like you've got plenty of other people willing to eat it for you
little_whip: That makes sense, so burn the water and overstir the powder. I'll see what kind of results I get from that.

Eeeeeeeew. I hate jello!!

Fine, more for me
And I did manage to get the rest of my jello to turn out right, so thanks for the tips.

Cool!

I loathe Jello. I used to eat it when I was little, and my Gran-Gran would give it to me as a hot liquid when I was sick.

But you know what Jello is?

Tallow. Powdered fat and bones. *shudders*

The closest I come to eating Jello is in a Blackberry Wine cake (sooo yummy) and then I have to distract myself so I don't realize what I'm eating.

But good luck finishing off your fat and bones. Sounds like you have your job cut out for you.

Glad you got the jello problem all solved.....now what is this junk about jello being dried bones and tallow??? YUCK!!!!!!1
I LOTHE the very idea!! and I grew up on jello!! oh Danny what have they done?????
and me with a mouth full of stitches, eating jello as it's soft....oy vey!!!!!!

Texas Wahine: Of course it's disgusting stuff, any food worth eating is disgusting. That's just the way it works. Eat gross things or die (of starvation). Question is just how much you think about what you eat.
Trudygolightly: Don't believe them. You like your jello, eat it, is yummy

UGH! Was this REALLY necessary?? ... I'm fine with living in ignorance... really! *looks for the duct tape in case TW has anymore helpful knowledge*

Sorry tex but I did a little digging on this and your flat wrong. Here's the list of ingredients from the package:

Sugar
Gelatin
Adipic acid
Disodium phosphate
sodium citrate
fumaric acid
bha

Now if you refering to the gelatin, it's made from collagen. Not tallow. Now before you start on collagen you should look at the list of stuff it's in. You'll probably go hungry.

gummy bears
sour cream
cream cheese
cake icing and frosting
marshmallows
soups, sauces and gravies
canned ham and chicken
corned beef
sausage
Gelatin is even used to make the coating for pills that makes them easier to swallow. It's also in cosmetics, lozenges, and ointments

you could always make jello shots! Me and a friend did jello shots this weekend and I loved, loved, LOVED them. All you do is make jello the regular way and then add some vodka to it... let it sit until it gets kinda hardand then you scoop it up with shot glasses and ENJOY!!!

Love ya Danny!
