Spherification Kit [Molecular Gastronomy] ⊘ Non-GMO Vegan OU Kosher Certified Ingredients

The Modernist Pantry Spherification Kit is a great starter kit if you're interested in making spherified liquids. This kit has almost everything you'd need to get started including a 60cc syringe, 50g Sodium Alginate, 50g Calcium Chloride, and 50g Sodium Citrate. The only other things you'd probably want to pick up are a Spherification Spoon and a high precision gram scale to ensure you get the perfect measurements. The included powders are very fresh and I had no problems creating flavored caviar, including an "egg yolk" using mango juice and puree. This kit has enough Sodium Alginate, Calcium Chloride, and Sodium Citrate to make multiple cups (apparently 17 cups!) of caviar. It's a fun kit to get to experiment in the kitchen.

Took me a moment to get it just right but it’s the first time I’ve ever done this. I recommend watching an actual tutorial to steady your hand before you begin

It took a few tries to figure out that it should be more like 2g Sodium Alginate per 500g of liquid on the recipe sheet, not 5g per 500g of liquid. If you have too much, your liquid will become jelly. I know it says something about calcium causing the yogurt-like consistency, so I used the citrate, but it didn't help. Sooo, I used less than half of the alginate the recipe called for and it worked.I eventually got red popping boba useing kool-aid. All other natural fruit juices would turn pink or some other Easter egg color.Definitely use the sugar in the water solution or else your boba will taste salty.I'll likely buy it again cause kitchen chemistry is fun.

Bought this kit for my daughter and friend who are into the boba drinks. Majorly into them. Had fruit juice on hand and tried to make the boba. To my surprise It worked but the boba or caviar was more like a jelly once it set up after a few hrs. But still my daughter and friend was tickled pink. So we tried to make honey boba by mixing honey, water, and the kit. That too worked. The only issue I have is its not in tsp, cups, etc. I don't own a scale and wasn't going to pay more for one. I converted measurements on my own. Its not exact but it worked. The girls had fun using the syringes, spoons, and straws to make all kinds of boba. They made bubbles, snakes, caviar sized boba and even spoon sized boba. They had a blast. The girls made 5 dif kinds of boba and I still have plenty of mix left over. Great price. Would recommend to anyone who wants to experiment with boba. According to my daughter its nit exactly boba, but close enough. She would make again. In fact she wants to try tea boba.

This worked perfectly for my son's science fair project. Although it came with no instruction booklet in my pack I had found a review on a similar product with detailed instructions it worked perfectly.We used 200 grams of sprite 2 g of sodium alginate mixed thoroughly.In another bowl mixed 2 cups of water, weighed it out, which was 470 grams and mixed it with 4.7 grams of calcium chloride till dissolved. Then had a bowl of plain water last.Used syringe to suck up a little of the sprite mixture, then slowly dropped in to the calcium mixture. Let sit for 1 min. Then removed and put into the plain water for a quick second to rinse off. Then eat!We didn't use the calcium citrate at all.We used coke, sprite, and Gatorade and all worked perfectly.You must use 1% of the food liquid and the water in sodium alginate and calcium chloride. Ex. 300 grams of juice to 3 grams of sodium alginate.Good luck!

I believe the sodium alginate was no good. Would not thicken anything. Just nothing happened. Very upsetting because it was for school project. I don't know how I ended up with bad batch. Tried for days.

This product is overpriced in MHO. It works ok after a couple of tries. The spheres are not really looking like what you are used to from Ice cream stores and the likes. They come out almost elongated and too small, we think.Tried ever which way. Also, just using fruit juice doesn’t work well- not enough flavor. So you are left to use a drink concentrate, or add artificial flavoring which is a no-no for me. It was fun for the kids making these and now they are over it because it didn’t taste good/ tasteless

Probably something wrong with the alginate in our kit. Absolutely no gelling, even at 2%+. Ordered alginate from another supplier and no issues. Others seem to be ok, so there might be some batch variation.
