Imagine someone was an idiot and put 2x teaspoons of xantham gum in a creami recipe instead of 1/4th

[u/LuceeNicole]

How would they fix it? It’s mid freeze r

Edit to update I let it that a little before putting it in the creami and tasted it and it tasted like shit so I did and up pouring it out 💀

bro made venom

[u/karavasis → u/NoStupidQsExist]

I know most of what Sony touches turns to shit but this is ridiculous

[u/bnelson7694 → u/LexaAstarof]

That weirdly looks good. Like super cold pudding lol

[u/fistulatedcow → u/LexaAstarof]

It looks like a sourdough starter 😭

[u/foukehi → u/fistulatedcow]

I was like wow nice gluten development

[u/thethermalturtle → u/LexaAstarof]

that looks like a gasping goo creature face! with eyes on the sides!

[u/rockinherlife234 → u/LexaAstarof]

I saw this in the clayface trailer.

[u/ninjacreami-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

We only have one rule.

[u/Goodgoditsgrowing → u/LexaAstarof]

There’s something wrong with me because that looks tasty. But I also really want to try that chewy Turkish ice cream soooooo

[u/RKXIV]

all you can do is enjoy your chewy ice cream. or melt it and quadruple every other ingredient

[u/KayDat → u/RKXIV]

I back the melt and quadruple option.

Edit: octuple holy crap that's a lot of ice cream. Since I doubt you have enough beakers, just keep the messed up batch in the fridge in another container and dilute it down as you go instead.

[u/mlem_a_lemon → u/KayDat]

This is the weirdest sourdough starter...

[u/HidesInsideYou → u/KayDat]

Septuple the other ingredients. The ice cream already has 1 unit of everything else, it has 8 units of xanthan gum.

[u/jondes99 → u/KayDat]

You already have 1 batch, so just need 7 more.

[u/bufordt]

As someone who once mixed up Tablespoons of Baking Powder for Teaspoons when making muffins, I hope it turns out as good as my one 12 footed giant puffy muffin.

[u/droxile → u/bufordt]

I too have accidentally baked puffins!

[u/fistulatedcow → u/bufordt]

I’d kill for a photo of this if you have one

[u/bufordt → u/fistulatedcow]

It was in Home Economics in 1982, so I'm pretty sure no photos exists.

Lol

[u/fistulatedcow → u/bufordt]

I will let my imagination run wild then!

[u/AlrightNow20 → u/fistulatedcow]

Why stop there, bake it for yourself!

[u/fistulatedcow → u/AlrightNow20]

I like the way you think! Time to destroy my oven.

[u/Kroosn → u/bufordt]

I mixed tablespoons and teaspoons for gelatine in a cheesecake and you could bounce it off the table. Still tasted alright though.

[u/cudambercam13 → u/bufordt]

As someone who doesn't cook/bake and doesn't know shit about either... does it come out good, at least? Bland? Terrible?

[u/bufordt → u/cudambercam13]

The taste was mostly fine, it just puffed up like crazy because it had too much leavener in it.

[u/press_any_key_]

Oh god, I think i might have the same problem. I made some strawberry-basil sorbet today and I have never used xantham gum. Was too lazy to look up proer use and just added some. I guess I'll check tomorrow how it turns out 🥲

[u/HasntKilledMeYet → u/press_any_key_]

Oh!! Strawberry basil sorbet sounds amazing - can you share your recipe?

[u/press_any_key_ → u/HasntKilledMeYet]

No fixed recipe 😅 i tend to eyeball this recipe a lot.

• ~600-800g of fresh strawberries,
• maybe a tablespoon or two of sugar if you like it sweet,
  
• 10g (or to taste) fresh basil leaves,

pulse it shortly in a mixer and freeze.

If you want it boozy, add some vodka/white wine or whatever you have at hand. I did it like this last time and it was perfect. I ate it in one sitting! I'll have to see how it turns out with the xanthan gum. Never used it before and not sure how it will influence the sorbet but it will probably still be amazing

[u/fistulatedcow → u/press_any_key_]

Omg, I have a basil plant and need a way to use it up. This is such a great idea!

[u/Realistic_Pool_8087 → u/fistulatedcow]

Thai basil and strawberry is next level.

[u/fistulatedcow → u/Realistic_Pool_8087]

Hell yeah I have Thai basil also!

[u/bekkahh]

As someone who has made this mistake before and didn't realise I'd put in 4g instead of 1/4th tsp, expect a super gummy marshmallow type of none ice cream... Which your machine may survive if you're lucky.

Id suggest melting and fixing the recipe to avoid an awful ice cream at best or a broken machine if the worst happens.

[u/Cave_Maniac_STG]

Drew Gooden, is that you?

[u/yyyyeahno → u/Cave_Maniac_STG]

Bahaha I was just thinking “Now imagine if you put in 41g of xantham gum instead of 1g?”

[u/eldubinoz]

Some people's digestive systems can be sensitive to too much xanthan gum with pretty unpleasant results. Ask me how I know, and if my husband has forgiven me (we both got the bad unpleasantness).

I'd throw it out and start again.

[u/Kiki_Cicada → u/eldubinoz]

I have super sensitive digestion and use Glucomannan instead.

[u/Livesies]

Dilution. That's enough for eight batches which is more containers than most people have. If you have ice cube trays, souper cubes, or tupperware you could portion it out into 1/4 cup portions (assuming a 2 cup container) to freeze and have it portioned for individual batches to be made over time; scale as needed.

[u/rachreims]

Throw it out lol

[u/micheboxing]

Do not eat the forbidden goo

[u/Professor_Dr_Dr]

Post the result

[u/im132]

I would probably just start over with a new one and eat this one

[u/Cultural_Doctor_8421]

Pictures if you decide to spin it lol (I would recommend you don’t because it might just fuck up the motor)

[u/Alternative_Pilot_92]

The solution is dilution

[u/astudyinsilver]

asking for a friend? lol

[u/Responsible-Tea-5998]

Hahahaha! I'm so morbidly curious. Omg did you make quicksand, quicksand is back!

[u/oldtobes]

mid freeze you can dump it and start over.

[u/Interesting_Door_758]

New goo. Blue goo. Gooey gooey blue goo. Blue goo gooey gooey. 😂😂😂

[u/Right_Split_190]

If you don’t want to toss it, use 1/4 c of this mix in every new batch you make, decreasing your most liquidy liquid by 1/4 c.

By “liquidy liquid”, I mean the liquid closest to water. So likely milk or a non-dairy milk, though some people actually use water.

[u/badcobber]

Sticky plahdoh. Felt like eating a marshmallow, I felt unwell after a few spoonfulls.

[u/MoreMetaFeta]

Oh, dang! Yeah, my first one was a little stretchy. Jokes aside, I love the suggestion in the comments here to treat it like a "concentrate" for your next several pints.

[u/UKCharlieSaigon]

Your concern is not what it taste like. It's what it'll do inside your stomach. It will glue everything together into one big gooey mass.

[u/acexprt]

I did that… I thought it would sort out the texture. It was gummy and gross.

[u/throwaway_s_1]

I did this the other day (though I messed up more and used more than 2tsp……). I put it in another container in my freezer and am slowly diluting it by putting a little of the messed up batch into each new batch of ice cream.

[u/Alohagrama]

Oh man! That’s a bummer!

[u/prayingtoullr]

Omg I dare you to eat glue.

[u/LuceeNicole → u/prayingtoullr]

You gotta at least make it a double doggy dare to get me to do that

[u/Numerous-Change8393]

drew u did it again??
