3.52 oz Methylcellulose Powder, Pure Methylcellulose Powder, Methylcellulose Suitable for Making Ice Cream, Cake, Yogurt, Candy and More

I chose this methylcellulose powder to use as paste for a paper machete craft project my craft group was working on. There are 8 of us and we needed an ample supply of paste. I followed the directions on the package, made up a batch several hours in advance. As we used it I thinned it by adding water. It actually increased the amount of gel without becoming too thin. We discovered that this gel/paste does not create mould like a flour paste will. One can mix a batch of gel/paste and store it in the fridge. It dries clear. It is easy to paint. It washes off hands and clothing without staining. Overall we were happy to add this wonderful component to our paper machete project. There were zero complaints. We will be using it again in the near future.

I made a great pumpkin pie using agar agar instead of of egg- who knew? I had to cook it a little longer to get the right consistency, but that was the recipe not the product. I'm sold. I see a lot more uses for it in my kitchen and I'm excited by this new product and the possibilities. The best thing about it is is lacks the sort of slimy, gloopy, weird texture of some of the other thickeners I've messed with.

Si ayuda al helado a que jo se convierta en hielo.

This powder is going to last me a very very long time! A little goes a long way and it’s just what I needed for my baking

Good stuff!

I'm a cake artist, and I really happy how this works.It does a great job!!

Definitely full of impurities. I use agar for making petri dishes and I have gotten many types of agar off Amazon and none of them are lab grade by any means. This product is the only one that actually states it's food grade. If you are planning on using this for mycology I would look elsewhere. Even for food purposes there are very apparent impurities and the agar does not break down all the way in boiling water. There are certainly cleaner options available for similar pricing. UPDATE: Im giving this a one star (previously two) because I taste tested the petri dishes I made. I used 10g of agar powder to 500ml water. Typically the agar I have used in the past has a very mild and almost non existent taste. This agar didn't completely solidify and instead turned into a very odd consistency of gel. When i did the taste test I put one of the poured dishes into my mouth and it was like taking a jello shot of seawater. I wouldn't even use this stuff to make food products with. Very unhappy with the quality of this product. I got a returnless refund from Amazon and tossed it in the trash.

I was looking for an alternative to a light spray-able adhesive-like substance for crafting and saw a reco from the artist group to give this a try. It works for what I need. Just added a little (a little) bit to my spray bottle. I had to watch how much I used since this is a thickener. I may have to try it for dessert work as well - something new to try. This will last me a long while.
