That's different. Blooming in this sense is about hydrating and softening dry gelatin. It can be either transitive or intransitive: one could also say "Gently stir the gelatin into the water and set it aside until it has bloomed". Chuck Entz (talk) 02:32, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

We're still missing this sense, I think. Equinox ◑ 18:23, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
