Methylgel is powdered methylcellulose, a derivative of plant-based cellulose that gels with heat and acts as a thickener, emulsifier, and gelling agent in modern culinary applications.
Hydrate in cold water, let stand until the mixture reaches 4ºC, and apply heat. Dosage: Aerating effect: 15 g/L (hot or cold) / Thickening effect: 20 g/L (cold) Gelling effect: 20 g/L (hot >60ºC) / Binding effect: 30 g/L (hot >60ºC)
METILGEL is a texturizer whose main feature is its ability to gel when heat is applied, offering unique behavior compared to other traditional gelling agents. For proper hydration, it should be mixed at room temperature with the aid of an electric mixer and then allowed to stand in cold until it reaches a temperature of between 3 and 4 ºC.
At this point, the preparation appears as a translucent liquid which, when subjected to temperatures above approximately 60 ºC, transforms into a firm gelatin. As this gelatin cools, it gradually loses hardness. If no heat is applied, the product acts only as a thickener.
Metilgel is widely used in the food industry as a binding agent, especially in the production of products such as croquettes, where it allows for egg-free batter that is highly resistant to breaking during frying. In catering, its versatility makes it a key ingredient as an emulsifier, gelling agent and aerator, making it ideal for making hot foams, false meringues, terrines or hot jellies.

Metilgel allows for the development of preparations where temperature control is key, such as hot jellies and terrines that maintain their structure when served, as well as light and stable hot foams. It is also ideal for technical batter, especially in croquettes or other fried foods, where it acts as a vegetable binder, creating resistant, uniform coatings that do not break during frying.
