Tips & Warnings
To make Jello that will hold its shape, be less fragile and be easier to remove from the mold, add 1/4 cup of water less for every 3-oz. package. This is especially important if the mold is large.
To remove particularly delicate Jello, wrap a warm, damp cloth around the mold before inverting it.
