what is clear gel vs gelatin
Gelatin is available in the market both in the powdered form and in sheet form. Pigskin gives gelatin with each processing, but the highest quality of gelatin is one that is obtained with first time processing of pigskin. This gelatin has a great gelling capacity and is almost clear. It also has a mild flavor.
A gel is any liquid (usually) or gaseous medium suspended in a solid three-dimensional mesh which entraps the medium so that it does not flow. By way of (somewhat flawed analogy) think of a giant role of bubble wrap. Its mostly air. But the plastic keeps the air from flowing at a large scale.
