...I use the same technique unless I'm using a blender of some kind but even then I'll use prehydrated. 

 

But when using it, use a small rubber (or silicon) spatula and a small amount of what ever liquid you want to mix it in in a small bowl to help soften the gel and make it easier to work into the larger batch. Very much like corn flour and you beat/mush it together to great a thinner mix that is far far easier to add to whatever else your wanting and it avoids a lot of bubbles...

 

Thanks for the info.  Can I ask, is the pre-hydrated ratio the same, 640ml of water mixed with 27gms xanthan?  And how small / big amount of "goop" would you use for example with 250ml of liquid?  Also, does heating help?
