  • Tips to unmold gelatin:
  • Allow gelatin to set until completely firm, several hours or overnight.
  • Before unmolding, dip knife in warm water and run knife around edge of gelatin to loosen.
  • Dip mold in warm water, just to rim, for 10 seconds.
  • Lift from water and gently pull gelatin from edge of mold with moist fingers.  Place moistened serving plate on top of mold.  Gently remove mold.
