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.

Kit works great and was fun for a little kitchen science.

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.

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

The syringe dropped super tiny droplets; so small they fully gelled immediately, less than 2 seconds.Other than that, it worked great.I imagine that someone not familiar, might have some issues. If you want to make Boba, or the "juiceballs" you see at Bluberry or Sweet Frog, use Reverse Spherification.Following the instructions in the kit, you'll get little jelly balls, no liquid.These kits are great starters into MG.They are fun for kids, especially Halloween!

Bought this years ago and it was great so bought it again for my girlfriend and it’s incomplete. No directions no dropper nothing just two ingredients no even three to get the ph correct. Big let down

If you are looking for a spherification kit, you can stop at this one as the ingredients are pure, affordable, and reliable; however, I wish they would’ve said that I needed a scale that measures within 1/10 of a gram because I would’ve factored in that cost as well have ordered on along with the kit. A decent scale is only about $12 on Amazon, so no big deal, just be aware that it is not optional and you can’t use this without one as the measurements need to be exact. A couple of beakers and glass stir bars wouldn’t be bad things to have either to help you measure, pour, and stir (of course, these are optional).

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.
