Tips for cooking

This time, we use a heat-resistant rubber spatula. Please use a heat-resistant rubber spatula as a usual rubber spatula may melt. The hot water temperature used for gelatin depends on the manufacturer, so please check it and follow the instructions. Please be careful not to boil the gelatin as it makes it harder to set. Also, please be aware that fruits such as raw pineapple, kiwi and papaya containing protease may not be set. This recipe uses honey. Please be careful not to let children below the age of 1 (infants) consume them. You can substitute honey with sugar, but since the sweetness varies depending on the type, we recommend adjusting the taste to your liking. Heating conditions may vary depending on the type of microwave, the type of heat-resistant container, and the condition of the ingredients. Please check the condition and adjust the heating time as necessary.
