Elastic is a powdered, vegetarian gelling agent made from carob bean gum and carrageenan that creates a flexible, elastic gel suitable for hot or cold applications.
It is used to create stable, bendable gels and fillings for pastries, sauces, and desserts that resist freezing without leaking water.
To use it, mix the powder into a cold liquid, heat to at least (80-100C) to activate the gelling properties, and then pour to set as it cools.
