Has anyone had success with this? I also have the El Bulli collection, and while it is slightly different, less liquid/E4M and no xanthan, it is the same.

I have been using different temperatures, 150oF seems to be the correct temp as it is at the top of the gelling temp for E4M, but not the texture of a gel I was expecting. 

I have also wrapped the bundle in plastic wrap and dipped them at various temperatures but again fail.

My next attempt will be to freeze the bundles and see what happens.

Freezing and then heating in a 190oF bath for ~90 sec worked much better, slight amount of chill still in the center but easily remedied.
