I totally agree.
I have not noticed much of a difference from using Potato Buds and real Potato's.

I use a slight different recipie.

5 grams instant potato's "Betty Crocker Potato Buds"
9 grams agar
7 grams of pure honey
1 gram of nutritional yeast mini flake from a Health food store.
500 ml of purified water

Works great!
==================================
I would imagine real potatos would work better than the flakes, but flakes are easier, and i get lazy sometimes. I don't really notice a difference.

my recipe is

1 bottle bottled water (500 ml)
9g agar agar
1g fleischmans active yeast
5g potato flakes
10cc's karo syrup

makes enough for ~20 dishes.

Cool.  750 milliliters is quite a lot of agar.  The idea in the amount of agar I prepare in this tek is to prepare enough so if in your first few attempts at pouring agar, if you over pour your dishes, you won't run out of agar.  So go with the amounts in the tek until you get your agar pouring technique down.  Using the amounts in my tek, you will have agar left over.

Thanks for the guide hamloaf!

(do you have to sterilize the dishes, or are ready to go out the sealed sleeve?)

You buy them sterile. Its pain in the ass to find(and they're expensive) autoclavable dishes. Just make sure that they are sterile sleeves when you buy. If you want a cheap source :pm: me for the guys email.
