Is there an easy way to remove gelatin from a mold?

Chill your mold before filling, or rub it lightly with a paper towel and a tiny bit of salad oil. If you oil the mold, let the gelatin mixture cool before pouring into the mold.

To unmold, dip very quickly in a pan of hot water to loosen, being careful not the let the water come over the sides onto the gelatin. Place serving dish face down over mold, and invert quickly.

Unmold gelatins and aspics on a bed of fresh lettuce or endive - even dessert gelatins. Then garnish with fresh fruit slices, parsley, carrot curls, etc.

Fresh pineapple must be cooked before adding it to gelatin - otherwise your mixture will not set.
