How It's Made

Season 21 Episode 6: Gel Caps, Playground Spring Riders, Frozen Pancakes, Natural Rubber

Gelatin is prepared and formed into matching capsule halves before the finished gel caps are inspected and packaged. Moulded figures are mounted on heavy coil springs to create playground riders; batter is portioned, cooked, cooled and frozen into ready-to-heat pancakes; and latex collected from rubber trees is coagulated, rolled and dried into natural rubber.
