Help with Pasty Plates
    #24864351 - 12/23/17 04:58 PM (7 years, 25 days ago)

I'm trying to do agar for my first time and I've been following Pasty's tek. Below is a picture of the ingredients I'm using. Not pictured is the light karo syrup. It doesn't appear that my agar agar has sugar added to it.





I start by getting two heaping tablespoons of agar and then two teaspoons of potato flakes. I add 1/2 cup of water and then turn my stove onto a low heat. The low heat didn't really seem to be doing much and my pot was still cold after a while so I turned it up to 2 and it began to get warm and help break down the agar agar. I find I can't get it all to dissolve however and after 15 - 20 minutes or so I have this:





If I whisk it around I can still see a lot of particulate that is not dissolved. Do I need to continue heating this up longer? Am I using too much agar agar? Or is this what it is supposed to look like? Appreciate any advice I can get.

I always carefully pour the agar into hot water as I stir constantly. Never had clumps besides a few spoons worth of foam on top that gets scooped out and then I´m left with totally dissolved agar.

Nothin wrong with that. I used to have the same problem with the chunks of agar, to solve that I just use med-high heat and wait until it rolls to a boil.

Appreciate the input guys. Had plenty of agar to spare and tried what Mateah suggested and it worked great. Thanks brother.
