For the slants where are people buying agar? It look so simple I'm thinking of creating a few slants myself...[/quote:3hoq4iti]


I just wrote a blog post about how I make slants with these lovely vials if anyone is interested

How much did the Agar cost you? And what size was the bag? I'm assuming the bag is a lifetime supply?

I was passing one of the northside asian shops and as I was rushing through I didn't see agar and had no time for a chat about it's availability! I did see 2 kg of coconut "flakes" (for lack of a better word more the consistency of bounty coconut) which might just be an interesting addition to a stout sometime (€9 i think) I will be looking into this for my next milks stout, "coconut milk stout" I guess.

€1.40 for 42g in Asian Market. I made up some yesterday and 5g is enough to do 250ml which is enough to do about 12 vials.

The agar is seriously hard to dissolve.

so near 100 vials for the €1.40, not a bad cost, do you need to slowly heat it to dissolve or did you lob it in at boilingish temps?

By hard i assume it took a long time? Or is it that you need to slowly add the agar as opposed to lobbing the whole lot in at the same time?

Am planning on making up some slants. Is there any pros and cons for agar agar v's gelatin? Have gelatin at home already and don't fancy heading into town just to get some agar.
