Usage
Disperse in the liquid (water, milk, cream, juice) while cold using a whisk or immersion blender to prevent lumps, then cook to a boil while stirring: thickening begins as the temperature rises. Suitable for pastry creams (piping consistency, freezing filled tart shells), béchamel sauces, veloutés, and cooked preparations.
For use without cooking, Gelcrem Froid Sosa activates by simply dispersing it while cold, making it more suitable for cold creams and preparations sensitive to heat.
Please note: ingredients: 100% refined corn starch; no direct allergens (may contain traces of milk and derivatives; produced in a multi-product facility). Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture, and close the jar securely after use.
