Ultratex 8

by chef Rick Starr » Tue Jul 20, 2010 2:51 am

I was wondering if anybody has ever used Ultratex 8? It is a modified tapioca starch and unlike corn starch you do not need heat to thicken. It is perfect for fruit coulis or herbal sauces or gels. It is virtually undetectable and a little goes along way. The only drawback is you need a vita-mix type blender. Also there is little info on this product so practice and experimenting are essential.

Have not heard of it but I'd be very interested in how it works out for you if you give it a try, Rick.

Yeah, you've got one of those blenders.

Never used it, Rick. Sounds interesting, though.
