My mixture is still too runny – what do I do? Don’t panic, this is an
easy x! Simply measure out some more alginate (usually add a maximum
of 0.5-1g at a time) and blend it into your mixture. The more you add the
thicker it will get, but don’t go overboard!
My mixture is too thick – what do I do? This is occurring for one of two
reasons: either you added too much sodium alginate or your ingredient is
acidic. Please follow one of the below steps or else you may nd your end
result looks more like tiny noodles than caviar!
A. If your ingredient is not acidic and you think you added too much
alginate, you can counterbalance this by blending some more
water into your mixture. The downside of this is that you will be
further diluting the flavor of your ingredient the more water you
add, so the sodium citrate method is preferable.
B. Add sodium citrate. This product has a sour-salty taste so you do
not want to add more than you need to however it will neutralize
acidic ingredients allowing your solution to be able to flow freely
through the Sphericator. To add the sodium citrate, rst fully
dissolve ¼ tsp (1g) at a time in as little warm water as possible
and then pour into your mixture as you again blend it with your
immersion blender. Continue to add one dissolved gram of
sodium citrate in this manner until your solution has the required
consistency.
My mixture is just right. Congratulations, your mixture is almost ready to
be sphericated! We recommend letting it sit for approximately 45
minutes to let the air bubbles escape but this is not always necessary,
especially if you strain it thoroughly.
You can nally add your ingredient mixture in the top of the Sphericator.
It will hold up to a maximum of 200mL at a time which will create a lot of
pearls. Just pull o the top cap, ll up the inner funnel and put the lid back
on. Make sure you are near an outlet as the Sphericator needs to be
plugged in to work.
