Bloom the gelatine edit

What does this recipe instruction mean? "bloom the gelatine in cold water" 86.184.161.129

It probably means to test the strength of the gelatine in water. See w:Bloom (test). JamesjiaoTC 22:55, 16 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
That's different. Blooming in this sense is about hydrating and softening dry gelatin. It can be either transitive or intransitive: one could also say "Gently stir the gelatin into the water and set it aside until it has bloomed". Chuck Entz (talk) 02:32, 17 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
We're still missing this sense, I think. Equinox 18:23, 19 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
