Alternative spellingsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Cream is a dairy product that is composed of the higher-butterfat layer skimmed from the top of milk before homogenization. In un-homogenized milk, over time, the lighter fat rises to the top. In the industrial production of cream this process is accelerated by using centrifuges called "separators". In many countries, cream is sold in several grades depending on the total butterfat content. Cream can be dried to a powder for shipment to distant markets. Cream skimmed from milk may be called "sweet cream" to distinguish it from whey cream skimmed from whey, a by-product of cheese-making. Whey cream has a lower fat content and tastes more salty, tangy and "cheesy". Cream produced by cows (particularly Jersey cattle) grazing on natural pasture often contains some natural carotenoid pigments derived from the plants they eat; this gives the cream a slight yellow tone, hence the name of the yellowish-white color, cream. Cream from goat does' milk, or from cows fed indoors on grain or grain-based pellets, is white. TypesStewed nectarines and heavy creamDifferent grades of cream are distinguished by their fat content, whether they have been heat-treated, whipped, etc. In many jurisdictions there are regulations for each type. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License When do I use which type of cream for cooking? Q. Why is there normal cream and then thickened cream? when do I use which? (eg. baking, cooking, pour on dessert, whipping) Why is it that there is like 6 brands of thickened cream in my supermarket, but only 2 brands of cream (is thickened cream more versatile and therefore a bigger market for it?) If I substitute cream with lite cream (or thickened cream with lite thickened cream), do I have to make any adjustments to the recipe? Asked by LokLok - Wed May 7 06:56:50 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. In England we have 3 types of cream - the single a thin cream used for pouring or in your coffee - no good for cooking with as it splits - i think its your normal. Then we have double cream, really think and fattening but great for whipping and for cooking with as it holds it own. and whipping slightly thinner but still thick used for whipping and in sauces. So I would say your thick cream is good fro whipping and sauces. I think cookeryclub has an American food term translation chart! Answered by Digby - Wed May 7 08:22:16 2008 How can I thicken up single cream? Q. I've just got an ice-cream maker for xmas and hastily used single cream in the recipe instead of double cream. Is there any way I can thicken it up to more the consistency of double cream so that it will set better? (I'd rather not start again as I have to freeze the canister for another 24 hours!) Thanks. The thing is that I have tried it and it hasn't worked... The instructions for the ice-cream maker say that if it hasn't set after 40 minutes it isn't likely to. Asked by chubbysimba - Sat Dec 27 10:11:54 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. You don't need to thicken it up. You can make "ice cream" out of milk. It will actually setup faster (water freezes better than fat). You will be fine. Do not use any artificial thickener like flour or cornstarch.

Q. I've seen several recipes for homemade vanilla cakes with sour cream in the batter. I know that sour cream is often an ingredient in coffee cakes, but I'd like to make a moist, lighter birthday cake, not a coffee cake. Are cakes with sour cream automatically dense coffee cakes? What is a cake made with sour cream like? Asked by gfaithd - Fri Nov 16 03:03:46 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. Yep sour cream will make a cake more moist and dense. It will keep better too. You want to look for a genoise sponge or Victoria sponge recipe if you want a light cake.
