Critical Success Points

  • Incorporate gelatin off the heat
  • Reach 82°C during the caramel
  • Reach 75°C for the bavaroise
  • Do not overheat the caramel
  • Unmold the pear insert correctly (flat side up)
  • Freeze the caramel long enough for it to set

Safety Warnings

  • The caramel reaches very high temperatures; handle with fire‑resistant gloves.
  • Hot gelatin can cause burns; let it cool slightly before handling.
  • Use a thermometer to avoid overcooking the eggs and caramel coagulation.
