I did a CH search and couldn't find anywhere that this was addressed. I love cream-based sauces and indulge far too often (although my cholesterol is perfect... touch wood). I make them at home...

I bought six gigantic cream puffs from a new grocery store that opened up about couple months ago. I could tell from the color that it was plain whipped cream.. no custard ;( Still, i was craving...

I've just moved to the US from Britain. There we have single cream and double cream, double being the fattier of the two and capable of being whipped. Is half and half single cream, or is there li...

I got into a tangential discussion on another board about the availability (or not) of light cream. Here in New England it's a standard supermarket item, pretty much anywhere you go you can find h...

I am British but sometimes spend a few weeks in the US. All I can get in stores there is "heavy cream" which is heat-treated and tastes horrible as a result.... In the UK we can get fresh doubl...

I bought a lot of wonderful local whole milk and heavy cream for our holiday open house and have a lot left over and would like to use it well in the next few days. Ideas? I think of chocolate ...

I have a recipe that calls for evaporated milk. As a dedicated believer in fresh is always better, could I/should I substitute heavy cream for the evaporated milk?

I'd like to try and churn butter in my ice cream maker, but have never tried. Anyone? I'm guessing salt is optional, but if I choose salted butter, how much salt?

I know there have been endless discussions about different creams available in different regions that are further confused by the dialect we speak when trying to describe them. But this was new......

I occasionally make ice cream with and have found powdered heavy cream to be a good solution since it means I can just make it on a whim and not have to go buy the fresh stuff. It's also cost-effec...
