[frydad4]

awesome!
You use agar agar, or was that sodium alginate and calcium chloride?
(I wanted to do the latter, but couldn't find the chemicals)

Looks really good. I'm not done playing with this stuff either. Looking forward to foams.

Frydad how did you mean it didn't hold up, did the caviar melt in the fridge overnight?

 

[Booma]

Both. I mainly have used sodium align ate and chloride though.

Tend to find any leftover caviar, by the next day has turned rubbery and does not pop when bitten

It held up in the fridge, but he stored it in water, which leeched out enough flavor to say "it doesn't keep." Both FD and Mrs FD said this meal was awesome. And I KNOW when I see sincerity on their faces. I'd call him on it if I smelled BS.

Trust

Didn't melt but it shrinks when exposed to air. They recommend storing juice pearls in juice.
I stored mine in water. The next day the pearls were very light, and I turned water into wine.

The bottom line, make and serve them the same day. Doesn't store well.

"Chopped" forces one to be creative and think outside the box........it's a shame anyone has to come in second in this one. FD4, you have raised the bar. Cheers, my friend!
