To make a gelatin Plate:
Use a cookie sheet, cake pan or plastic container with at least ¾ inch high sides.
Place on a level surface, very important, and measure how much water it takes to fill the
container ½ to ¾ deep. This will determine how many cups gelatin you have to make.
For example 9” x 12” cake pan I will use 4 to 5 cups of gelatin, or 10” x 15” cookie
sheet I use 5 to 6 cups of gelatin.
2 Tablespoons of gelatin to 1 cup of water
I have measure the packet in the little Knox boxes and find that:
One box (4 packets) to 1.5 cups of water.
So if you need 3 cups of gelatin you need 2 boxes of gelatin
6 cups of gelatin you need 4 boxes of gelatin
Bring half of the total amount of water to a boil. Then put the other half cold water in a
bowl, sprinkle in the gelatin and stir to dissolve, then add the hot boiling water. Stir until
completely dissolved.
Skim foam and bubbles of the top and pour into your level pan. Skim the bubbles of
the gelatin again once you have poured it into the pan. To do this gently drag paper
over the top and guide the bubbles to the edge.
Let gelatin harden and then store in the refrigerator. Wrap in plastic and it will keep for
a while.
never pour excess gelatin down the drain - it will harden and clog the drain
