When making aspic jelly intended for use as a glaze on sliced meat, how much gelatin should be used for 1 L of stock?
  1. 50 g
  2. 100 g
  3. 150 g
  4. 200 g
Explanation
Answer: A - When using aspic jelly as a meat glaze, it should be relatively soft compared to other aspics. For every litre of stock, roughly 50 g of gelatin is needed. Aspic jelly for this purpose should be firm when cold, but soft enough that it melts quickly in the mouth.
