Brilio.net - Glaze is usually made from a mixture of sugar, water and other additional ingredients such as honey, syrup, milk or fruit juice. This food ingredient functions to provide an attractive appearance, add flavor, and sometimes also functions as a protective layer for various dishes, especially cakes, pastries or other sweet foods.
After use, the remaining glaze must be stored properly so it can be used again. However, most people will usually put the glaze in the refrigerator or even freezer. Even though it lasts longer, glaze that is stored in the refrigerator can clump and form lumps, you know. Glaze that clumps and lumps can be a nightmare for chefs and culinary enthusiasts.
The reason is, this uneven texture not only reduces the visual appeal of the dish, but can also affect the taste and overall eating experience. Bumps in the glaze can also appear due to sugar crystallization or uneven fat freezing. Apart from improper storage, glaze can also clump because it is made using careless techniques.
Improper mixing of ingredients or too drastic changes in temperature can damage the glaze mixture . Small lumps can form when the flour or starch is not mixed thoroughly with the liquid, or when the glaze is heated too quickly without constant stirring, so that the glaze is not smooth and feels rough on the tongue.
To overcome this, the glaze is usually reheated over a stove fire. However, instead of re-cooking it, an Instagram user @resep.papa admitted that he had another trick that was more effective in dealing with lumpy and lumpy glaze. Through one of the uploaded videos, he admitted that he added 1 kitchen ingredient to make the glaze mix evenly again.
Reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @resep.papa on Monday (22/7), the additional ingredient used is cooking oil. Well, this cooking oil is considered to make the glaze mix evenly and be softer. That way, the glaze becomes easier to use.

To use, remove the glaze from the packaging first. Then put it in the mixer container. Another alternative, if you don't have a mixer at home, you can use a blender or chopper.

Next, pour in new cooking oil. For 1 kg of glaze, you can add 100-150 ml of cooking oil. Adjust to the desired glaze texture, OK?

If you have mixed it with cooking oil, immediately mix it with a mixer or blender until it is completely smooth. Mix for a few minutes so that the lumps melt. Then the glaze that has been mixed evenly with the oil will be softer, smoother and creamier.
"So in this way, initially the texture of the glaze is not good, it is hard, lumpy, then it settles between the layer of oil and the glaze. In this way, the glaze can be beautiful again and can be used for topping," explained Instagram @resep.papa.
Having been watched more than 15 thousand times, this video belonging to Instagram user/@resep.papa immediately caught the attention of netizens. Many other Instagram users were interested and also provided direct responses in the comments column. One netizen even admitted that he had successfully used a similar trick.
