Gel Colorant 100g - Red - ProGel XXL

Gel food coloring in Red shade, professional 100g size

ProGel XXL Red evokes deep red, cardinal ruby. This concentrated gel food coloring in professional 100 g size is designed for boutique pastries and volume production workshops. Especially sought after for mass production of royal icing decorated cookies for February 14 and colored cake batters in quantities for cake design workshops, it combines the technical advantages of classic ProGel gel with a size designed for profitability in professional settings.

ProGel's signature advantage: it is a universal water and oil dye, working equally well on water-based bases (royal icing, water glazes, syrups, meringues) and fat-based bases (buttercream, ganache, tempered chocolate, pastry fondant). One tube for the entire pastry range, whereas Colour Mill dyes require 2 separate ranges (lipo + hydro). The 100 g size equals about 4 tubes of 25 g with approximately 30% savings per gram. Ideal for pastry shops that regularly place event orders.

Red: 3 shades depending on dosage

The shade subtly adjusts according to the dosage without losing its identity. ProGel is dosed with a toothpick tip for precise control.

Instructions for use

1. Sampling: dip the tip of a clean toothpick into the ProGel gel and take a small amount. The concentrated gel format is measured by the tip, not by drops.
2. Initial dosage: add 1 toothpick tip in 250 g of preparation for pastel shades, 2 to 3 tips for bright shades, 5 to 8 tips for dark and saturated shades.
3. Incorporation: mix vigorously with a spatula or mixer for 60 seconds to evenly distribute the gel. The gel consistency makes integration easy without lumps.
4. Rest and stabilization: cover in contact and let rest for 15 to 30 minutes. The shade develops and fully reveals itself during rest.
5. Adjustment: if the shade is too pale, take 1 to 2 additional tips and remix. Always use a clean toothpick to preserve the gel in the tube.

Patissland Tip - Red XXL

The 100g ProGel XXL Red size is cost-effective all year round: February 14 (February), weddings (spring-summer), year-end holidays (December). It is probably the most cost-effective size in the XXL range for a standard pastry shop. To intensify without saturating, combine with a touch of ProGel Black instead of increasing the dosage.
