Agar
    #27111088 - 12/27/20 05:57 PM (3 years, 1 month ago)

How do I make my agar dishes translucent? I'm currently using a mix of potato flakes, glucose syrup and agar powder, and it always comes out opaque even though the tek I'm following should produce a translucent solution.

I've tried boiling the mix for longer and using a blender to further break down and dissolve the particles into the water but still no luck.
I'm thinking it's more an issue with my recipe rather than technique/method.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks!

(P.S. my first post, sorry if I'm using this forum wrong :tongue:)

Why do you need clear agar?
most folks here just do agar + light malt extract.

welcome

Your best bet would be to use regular potato boil water... I always had trouble with flakes until someone mentioned using the boil water off their mashed potatoes and the light bulb went off...

If you can get ahold of LME it works GREAT.

Agar agar with LME and a drop if blue food coloring...
