4Frequently asked questions
What is the difference compared with the 750 g size?
The composition is identical: the 250 g size is intended for occasional use, a workshop, or a first attempt at the technique, while the 750 g size is suitable for more regular use.
How can I cool isomalt without it crystallizing?
Once it reaches 170 °C, dip the bottom of the container in cold water for about 10 seconds to stop the cooking immediately before working with the material.
Can isomalt replace traditional pulled sugar?
Yes, for transparent decorations: unlike traditional pulled sugar, isomalt remains colorless, does not yellow when heated, and is less sensitive to ambient humidity once cooled.
