Day #4 Agar agar + gellatin
Using 8mm walls, lets try to get a agar agar + gelatin design. Procedure pour gelatin and agar agar and put the mould in the freezer directly. Prechill the mould in the freezer before pouring.


Recipe mix, 50gr of water 1gr of agar agar + 1 gr of gelatin for elasticity.
We printed two moulds: one was pre chilled in the freezer, mixed poured at 45ºC, not chilled 40ºC.

After that both moulds go to the freezer for 20 minutes.

It is way easier to clean (compare to day#3), since the chickpea did not had time to frozen, even washing it with water removes all of it EASILY.

There were still some air bubbles trapped. But the molded mixed even has the layers pattern!

Cleaning the not pre chilled mould, feels harder. A water bath chickpea cleans it. Some tiny chickpea parts got embedded into the gelatin mix, so the surface looks dirtier, pretty sure this is because the mould was not pre chilled. Gelatin mixed feels more elastic than plain agar agar, but still brittle. More research aka internet browsing needed to fine tune the recipe.
Wall thickness for the shapes is 8mm and 12mm, a better hydrocolloid mix needs to be found to allow thinner walls without breaking the results during unmoulding.


Happy for the results.
