Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
Does Azucren red stain hands or utensils?
Like any concentrated food coloring, it can stain skin or light-colored plastic utensils: wear gloves and use dedicated equipment for regular use.
How can I achieve a deep red without using too much gel?
Since the gel is concentrated, add it gradually, letting it rest for a few minutes between additions: the color continues to develop after mixing.
Is this red suitable for cut-out shortbread dough?
Yes, mix it directly into the dough before shaping. It holds up well during baking, with some slight darkening to watch for depending on your oven.
