Gelatine is simple to use if directions are followed correctly. I find this method fool-proof:

<ol>
	<li>Put three tablespoons of cold water in a small basin.</li>
	<li>Sprinkle on gelatine (1/2 oz or 1 packet) and give a gentle stir. Leave until it becomes spongey.</li>
	<li>Set basin over a small pan of boiling water and leave untli mixture dissolves and becomes clear again. Leave to cool before adding to dish.</li>
</ol>
