- Use heavy cream to add body to sauces by swirling in a few teaspoons when serving.
- Add cream to risottos to create a more luscious texture. Remove risotto from heat and fold in a tablespoon of whipped heavy cream for every two cups of risotto.
- Store cream in the coldest part of your refrigerator, not the door.
- Always heat chilled cream before adding to hot recipes.
- Use cream to thicken soups and sauces.
- Add cream to pasta sauce to enhance the thickness and flavor.
- When cooking gravies, substitute cream in place of flour to thicken.
- Add light or heavy cream to scrambled eggs for a richer consistency.
