USING COOKIE CUTTERS WITH GELÉE

Prepare Gelée according to package instructions in a square mould
If working with multiple packages of Gelée, you can use a shallow ¼ or ½ sheet cookie tray or baking dish to create more surface area for cutting shapes
After Gelée has set, prepare to cut the Gelée right in the square mould or shallow pan without unmoulding
Prime cookie cutters for use by soaking them in a bowl of hot water. Have some clean dish towels at your side.
Select the shape you want to use, remove from water and quickly pat dry on the towel
Press the warmed cookie cutter down firmly into the Gelée, then lift carefully to remove the cut Gelée and cookie cutter
Carefully remove the Gelée from the cookie cutter and set aside
If using the same shape again, put the cutter back in the warm water for a few seconds, pat dry and cut again
Periodically replace the water in the bowl with fresh hot water to keep the cutters warm
Serve your Gelée shapes immediately — or place cut shapes onto a plate or tray and store in the fridge until ready to serve. Shapes will lose their definition as they warm.
Enjoy the excess around the cookie cutter edges as you go!
