FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Is Jello gelatin mix vegetarian?
No, gelatin is derived from animal collagen (usually bovine or porcine), making it unsuitable for vegetarians and vegans.
How long does dry gelatin mix last?
Unopened, it can last for several years past the 'best by' date if kept in a cool, dry environment.
Can I freeze prepared Jello?
Freezing is not recommended as it destroys the gelatin structure, resulting in a watery, limp texture upon thawing.
What can I use as a vegan substitute for gelatin mix?
Agar-agar (derived from seaweed) or carrageenan are the best plant-based alternatives for gelling.
Why didn't my Jello set?
Common reasons include using too much water, adding fresh tropical fruits with protease enzymes, or not dissolving the powder completely in boiling water.
Is Jello gluten-free?
Most standard Jello gelatin mixes do not contain gluten ingredients, but always check the label for potential cross-contamination.
How do I make Jello set faster?
Use the 'speed-set' method by dissolving the powder in boiling water and then adding ice cubes instead of cold water.
Does Jello contain pork?
Most commercial gelatin mixes use a blend of porcine (pork) and bovine (beef) collagen unless certified Halal or Kosher.
How much does a standard small box of Jello weigh?
A standard small box typically contains 3 ounces (approximately 85 grams) of dry mix.
