I went back and watched this. Weird about the not clear but they’re not ugly at all, just not clear. I would recommend a “feeding tube syringe” for next time, they work much better than any of the bakery products for filling. Thank you!

Perfect Halloween goodies! Freeze-dried eyeballs. Thanks for tackling these experiments, I love how your mind works!

Thanks for watching!

Jello with Chocolate, Lesson learned but all the others look awesome!! 🙂

You may want to try using clear unflavored, gelatin and a flavor oil, so you can see the ball through it. Add some salt to the chocolate? Maybe cocoa powder or chocolate liquor or flavor oil/emulsion? Oh that would be good content to do a test of those but those balls are beautiful nice job getting so psyched about saving for a freeze dryer… so jealous!!

YOU MIGHT TRY A BOTTLE THAT IS USED FOR MELTED CHOCOLATE (KINDA LIKE A OLD STYLE KETCHUP OR MUSTARD BOTTLE)! But love your videos and creative ideas!!!

Maybe a ziploc bag would work well to fill the molds. Fill the bag, and then when you're ready cut the end. Throw away and use another when you need to fill more. Cheap and maybe would work.

You are SO creative!!!!! Love your videos, keep em coming :)

You are so clever! I enjoy watching😀

You've got us all yipping and yeehaing. I can't wait to try this recipe.

Thank you 🤗

You have great ideas, thanks for sharing.

I am going to have to do the jello balls.

You may want to try using a turkey baster to fill your molds.

Yes i find big silicone baking things need a cookie sheet under it or it just flops about. Very interesting idea with the pudding and jello.

I use a 200ml syringe to fill molds. I run them through the dishwasher and reuse them.

use a pancake batter dispenser!!! You can put the whole load in just pull the trigger to stop & go when filling

Use plain gelatin or agar agar and flavoring oil to make clear ones

Maybe try a mustard/ketsup squeeze containers you can get at $ tree. Thank you for your video I and doing a marathon of them. My question with each time is--"what is he setting the freeze dryer on? How long did it take?" I am learning and haven't bought yet.

I have the newer model FD so I pre freeze my treats in the freezer. I use the settings Pre Frozen Liquid and press start, easy peasy

@@JohnInBibs I always add extra time because I want to make really sure things are done. Am I wasting time (and electricity)? Do you just go with when the FD turns off? Thanks ... ps - love your videos and helping me think outside the box!

@@corrine138 Absolutely, I have learned from experience to always add time. As a flexible rule I don't take anything out if it has run less than 36 hours. I may pay more for electricity, but I am more confident that the items are dry.

maybe they used Knox unflavored gelatin??? to get the 'clear' look.

*This is my wife's account* I am wondering if you put the Jello in the fridge and let it set to where it is more transparent if it would look different after freeze-drying. I think freezing it beforehand caused the liquid to form those little ice crystals inside which gives it that white appearance. I could be totally wrong just guesstimating! Glad I found your channel, keep making awesome videos!!

Plain unflavored jello, they have clear jello that may be what you want.

Super ideas John! I bought the little mold and made some small pudding balls. I noticed that the Jello pudding is sugar-free. Is the jello that you bought sugar-free by chance? Also I have another question, what do you think about doing a strawberry fruit puree or a banana puree and freezing those in the tiny ball mold. Then inserting that inside of a chocolate pudding larger ball?

I have seen professional restaurant ice makers use vibrator to get any air out during freezing.

Can you suck the pudding up through the tip like you would a needle? That way you wouldn’t have to spoon it in.

Are you using cardboard or wood under your silicone molds for transporting to freezer?

@JohnInBibs

I use cardboard wrapped with foil to transfer, thinking of investing in cookie trays though

Did you ever figure out how to make it come out clear? I'm wondering if using boiled water would do it. It works to make clear ice so it might work to make clear jello balls.

Hey Joh, Looks great. Does the finished feeze dried jello ball come out CRUNCHY? or is it soft? You mentioned look like TRIX! they DO!!! Looks really good. thanks for making this video. Can you freeze dry chilli? and if so, do you re hydrate with water and heat it up?

@JohnInBibs

Thanks, the jello comes out crunchy. Yes chili can be freeze dried. I made a video of the chili I make. You re-hydrate chili with water and it comes out like you made it fresh that day!

You mentioned both fruit and flavors like cheesecake on your small balls. Are some of them Jello pudding and some of them jello jello? Can I do both and are they different textured?

@JohnInBibs

Жыл бұрын

You can do both. These are both. Texture is about the same maybe pudding a little harder

Where can I find those molds? Are they completely flat on open end or do they close up slightly to keep the ball shape,?

@JohnInBibs

I have them listed in my Amazon store, the following is an affiliate link and I earn a small commission on qualified purchases: www.amazon.com/shop/johninbibs They are slightly rounded at the top, which makes them a little hard to pop out but less of a flat spot

Use a baby spoon

Great ideas. Can you provide the link of where you found the larger green silicone mold? Thanks.

U need a candy scraper to clean ur molds

I am not sure what you mean by no verbal explanation. He talks his way through the whole video explaining what he did and what he used, maybe there is something wrong with your device that you cannot hear him.
