Have they changed JELLO ?

SharkE — Sat, 27 Jul 2024 00:28:37 GMT

Last 2 boxes I made and wasn't out of date.

They never would set up when you put the bowl in refrigerator.

I put one bowl in freezer to get it to just not stay waterly

and I ended up with real cold freezy like popsicles

They do something to jello ?

I tried to make Jello pudding from a box and it came out very watery. I thought I had done something wrong.

Well, I'm glad to hear it. Sorry, the way that sounds, but, I know I've got enough sense to make jello and all of a sudden it's raspberry soup. LOL

Might have to send them a complaint. They should know. I got one Great Value brand in house I'll make that Sat. and see if that turns solid or not.

@SharkE. You didn't add fresh pineapple to it, did you? It won't jel. It sounds like you added too much water.

No, I use that quick set method, half cup of boiling water and then follow it up with ice cubes to quick set it. Way I've done it for yrs.

all of a sudden it just won't sit up. My jello won't gel

ROFLMAO

@SharkE A guy I went out with in college invited me to his house for dinner. His mother made jello for dessert. She literally poured it into dessert dishes. I looked around the table and they all acted like it was the most nomal thing in the world!

Well, that's not good news. I just purchased these jello molds to use when the grandkids come to visit. I figured berries and ice cream or maybe brownie cups

I hope someone called the Jello people about this. Must have been a bad batch.

I hope they had something else in addition to jello for dessert. I can't imagine offering that to guests.

Hmmm, I didn't think that the gelatin from boiling the bones from pigs and cattle ever expired.

SharkE — Sat, 27 Jul 2024 18:33:00 GMT

I solved that problem. Jello, is out. Great Value jelled up in an hr. Solid, no soup.

Throw in some nuts or marshmallows and I'm back in

business.

Don't know if this will help, but sometimes jello will not set if the water you use isn't at a rolling boil. Heating it in the microwave is sometimes not enough. It has to really be boiling.

Never was a problem in the past.

think Kraft/Heinz Co. is doing something different

I'm just buying Walmart Great Value brand

cheaper, too.

I make jello, usually plain, two to three times a week and never have a problem. I always use the one cup boiling water and then add one cup cold water method. Sets up every time....just made some blueberry yesterday and no problem.

@SharkE : So sorry that you are having this problem.

I discovered last week that the Nilla Vanilla Wafers have changed. The expiration date on the box was 2025. They just tasted different and not as crispy. DH agrees with me.
