I Used one package of unflavored gelatin because I could not find the gelatin sheets.  It did not congeal.  What did I do wrong?  I added the gelatin to the cream mixture after it came to a boil.  did I need to let it cool first, or dissolve the gelatin in a small amout of water before adding it to the cream? Ann Burell's instructions said to add the gelatin after you took the cream off the burner once it came to a boil.  Also, should I have used more gelatin?  I was told that one package equaled 4 gelatin sheets.  Help!</p>melissamelissa63questionMon, 12 Jan 2009 05:48:19 GMThttp://yedda.com/questions/Congealing_panna_cotta_cooking_8622077441211/?src=rss:qb:qbihttp://yedda.com/questions/Congealing_panna_cotta_cooking_8622077441211/dissolved_gelatine_warm_water_951276861737387?src=rss:qb:qbi<p>You should have dissolved the gelatine in warm water before adding to the cream. Here's an extract taken from <a href="http://www.recipes4us.co.uk">www.recipes4us.co.uk</a> telling you how to do this</p> <p> <br/>To dissolve powdered gelatine, sprinkle it into a small bowl or cup containing 3 tablespoons of warm water, stirring constantly, then place the bowl into a container of boiling water and stir constantly until completely dissolved and transparent. NEVER boil the gelatine mixture </p> <p> </p>Florence SandemanFlorence Sandemananswer3.0Mon, 12 Jan 2009 07:24:23 GMThttp://yedda.com/questions/Congealing_panna_cotta_cooking_8622077441211/dissolved_gelatine_warm_water_951276861737387?src=rss:qb:qbi
