Best Answer
Alginate gels are heat-stable up-to 150C. So you can easily serve them on a hot plate at the serving temperature.

Quick Answer about "Do gel spheres hold up to heat?"
Hot or Cold. Many gelling agents can be heated before they melt, which means that spheres made from them can be heated as well. If you are planning on serving the spheres in a soup or on a hot dish pick a gelling agent that works well with it.Why is my spherification not working?
The Basic Spherification process does not work if the main ingredient is too acidic (PH<5). If necessary , the acidity can be reduced by adding sodium citrate to the main ingredient (if watery liquid) or the water used to reduce the main ingredient density (if thick liquid) always BEFORE you add the sodium alginate.What liquids work best for spherification?
Basic spherification requires only that you mix an alginate with a liquid and drop that mixture into a calcium bath. But! If your liquid is too acidic (has a pH below 5), your spheres won't form unless you add sodium citrate.How long does reverse spherification last?
Unlike the caviar obtained with the basic spherification, the interior of the sphere will remain liquid.So you can keep the spheres in their juice for up to 12 hours or you can macerate the spheres in any liquid to change the flavor or color.How do you make a sphere in cooking?
Fill a small bowl with alginate and two additional bowls with water. Scoop up the juice with a measuring spoon and, keeping it close to the surface of the alginate, carefully pour the liquid into the bowl. Through a reaction with the calcium ions and alginate the liquid will instantly form into spheres.How To STOP Stinky Balls \u0026 Sweaty Butt | Tips For Keeping Your Testicles Fresh \u0026 Butt Dry
