What is the correct ratio for Sosa Pro Pannacotta Iota?
The recommended dosage is typically around 2-15g per kg of liquid. Adjust depending on the desired firmness.
Can I use it to make jelly or mousse?
Yes. While it’s ideal for panna cotta, you can also use it in other soft-set desserts where a smooth, elastic texture is needed.
How is this different from agar or gelatine?
Iota carrageenan produces a more elastic and less brittle gel compared to agar. It’s also smoother and creamier than traditional gelatine-based panna cotta.
