It’s not the same thing, but it will work!

Hey Tristan,

I’m in the US. I tried searching for Sodium Calcinate but the only thing that comes up is Sodium Citrate…..is that the same thing?

Thanks!

Yes. They both cause the ‘electro-bonding’ action. I know a few people who prefer the lactate actually.

Is there a difference between Sodium Calcinate and Calcium Lactate?

another great way to make this stuff with a quick run to stop and shop is jelleton sheets or powder and cold canola oil.

put jello and what you want in the caviar into a pot warm until jello dissolves then cool in fridge
get a alarg glass with canola oil this needs to be in the freezer until it is on the edge of freezing. Then use a suringe or i just use a bottle with a small spout and make droplets. The oil makes them form.
Its great cheap and easy to tweek if you have too much jellow or not enough

We used The Caviar Maker (www.caviarmaker.com) at a bar in WDC and it drew a huge crowd. We were selling champagne with strawberry caviar during happy hour. It worked fantastic. The bad thing is we ran out of champagne. It’s a great money maker.
