Spherification is a process that requires skill,
and if done right the results could be
phenomenal. While a lot of brands could state
that their Spherification products are good, you
must know how to do Spherification. Spherificatio
n is a process that involves s sodium alginate
and either calcium chloride or calcium glucate
lactate to shape a liquid into spheres. Molecular
Gastronomy process requires precision and
attention to detail to get the best results, and
with the help of Molecular Gastronomy Supplies ,
as well as tips in this article, you will be
aware of the things to do and avoid during
Spherification

• Get the Viscosity Right - The difference in
  viscosity between the flavored solution and the
  bath affects how easy is to make a sphere. The
  general rule is that if the flavored solution is
  thicker (more viscous) and the bath is thinner
  (less viscous) it is easier to do.

• Dont Use Tap water - If the calcium content of
  your tap water is high, it can affect the sodium
  alginate bath. Use filtered or bottled water
  instead. But not mineral water as it can also
  contain calcium.

• Use a Spherical Spoon- For preparations other
  than caviar in which you use a syringe, use
  measuring spoons with a spherical shape. These
  enable you to get a better shape when pouring the
  main ingredient into the bath.

• Use a Flat Tray- This is especially important
  for reverse Spherification, as spheres tend to
  stick together if they touch. Using a bowl makes
  it harder to keep the spheres separated. In bowls
  they move towards the middle each time you pour
  the main ingredient into the bath.

• Fill the Container- By using a container that
  means the bath is filled, it is easier to place
  the pouring spoon almost horizontally to the
  liquid. Ensure sides of the container are not in
  your way when pouring. By doing this you will
  find it easier and pouring smoother and with a
  twist of your wrist you can ensure you get a nice
  shaped sphere.

• Pour the Liquid Carefully- This is the most
  critical step in spherification and it requires
  practice. There are a few ways of doing this and
  different techniques work better for different
  people. Be patient and practice different
  techniques until you find the right one for you.
