I need help
I am haveing a hard time unmolding my panna cottas
they really stay in there and have to be pryed out

I have no problem with the creme caramels

Any Advice

thanks

Have you tried running your knife under hot water and then insert and run the knife all around the edge of the panna cotta?

I use this method all the time at work and I never run into problems.

What kind of mold are you using? a ramekin? a glass...?

Let me know what happens and good luck.

PS- What kind of panna cotta's are you making??

I will try the hot knife


I am using the small size ramekins

Creme freche panna cottas

What I usually do is get a warm, almost hot heavy damp towel and place the ramekins on the towel for a few seconds. The heat will help the pana cotta loosen up.

Another trick that I use for this type of deserts and other frozen desserts that I do on cake rings is to get a hair dryer and heat up the ramekins or molds for a few seconds. This always gives me great results.

Try some of these things and let me know what you think.

Thanks for all the help

But there still getting hung up in the molds.

Spray your molds with a vegetable oil before you put in the panna cotta. Once set and you break the air seal with a knife they should pop right out - if your recipe if stiff enough to hold its shape.

Good sugg. to spray w/ vege oil. I also like to use 4 oz plastic portions cups. Once set, turn over and punch hole in the bottom to unmold, and cover the "recycled" sign (LOL, I actually had a guest complaining about this) with sauce.
