How do I control the shape of my spheres?
I've been experimenting with reverse sphereification this week. The results... well, the results remind me that even the professionals have to practice.
How do I control the tension of the alginate shell, so that it can maintain a round shape when bearing its own weight? In other words, how do I get marbles instead of egg yolks?
Best Answer
What you need to do is experiment with the height from which you drop them. Too low and there isn't enough time to form a sphere. Too high and you get too big a splat.
