Let’s just get this out of the way first: You can set jellies on your counter and they’ll still be jiggly and wobble.

The setting time of jello really depends on two things: the type of gelatin you use and how cold you chill the mixture before pouring it into the mold. If you use powdered gelatin instead of instant, it will take about 20 minutes longer to chill, and it will also take about 20 minutes longer to set when you reheat it in the microwave. High-speed jellos set more quickly, usually in about 15 minutes.
