Does anyone know the equivalent for changing from gelatin sheets to powder? I've looked everywhere for it but I can't seem to find it. Thank you.

3 gram s of powder to 1 sheet or leaf of gelatine is a good benchmark nicole

It depends on the kind of sheet gelatin, gold, bronze, they don't weigh the same...2g, 3g...so check how much one sheet weighs and use the same weight of powder, but, there is a but, I suggest usi9ng a little less powder because it gives a chewy taste that you don't get with sheet gelatin.

I use .25 oz. of powder for 1 sheet of gelatin, this works great!

W. DeBord,

You might want to experiment with using .10 oz powder per sheet instead. You might get a better mouth feel.

I was told once that one sheet of gelatin would give a medium-hard set to 1 cup of liquid. Does anyone know if that is accurate?

I do alot of buffet work where I can't risk failure. I'd agree you can go to .20 oz easily but I wouldn't rest easy with .10, even though I might like less gelatin personally.
