Removing your gelatin from the mold is an easy trick. Place the mold to the rim in warm water for about 15 seconds. Carefully insert your fingers between the mold and the gelatin and slide your fingers around the mold to loosen. Place a serving plate over the top of the mold. Turn the mold upside down and shake carefully to loosen the mold. Remove the mold and center the gelatin mold on the serving plate. If you would like to garnish your mold with a lettuce leaf place the leaf on the plate before positioning it over the mold.
