McCormick Cream Of Tartar, 1.5 oz

Description

Cream of tartar is an all-natural ingredient essential to holiday baking. It adds texture, volume and lift to beaten egg whites in angel food cake, meringue shells, meringue for pies and 7-minute frostings, resulting in light and fluffy holiday desserts. Cream of tartar, also known as tartaric acid, is a byproduct left after the fermentation of grapes into wine. This tasteless baking necessity stabilizes beaten egg whites in desserts and egg dishes. A pinch of cream of tartar also helps prevent homemade whipped cream from deflating. To make your own baking powder, simply mix 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar and 1/4 tsp. each baking soda & cornstarch. You can also make a gentle cleaner for copper cookware by mixing cream of tartar with a little water into a paste. Review: Great Product. - To be honest, I've never used Cream of Tartar before and had no idea why I would ever need to. Since it's been so many years since I have been able to cook, I have been refreshing my memory with recipes and finding several new ones I want to try. Obviously, I need all new spices! But I didn't have to replace my Cream of Tartar since I never had it in the first place. After some research, I wondered how I ever got along without it. Obviously, I had never made meringue before, or a lot of other sweet dishes. I trust McCormick as one of the main suppliers of spices. They make good, fresh products, and if it's a product I will not be using often, I have the option of purchasing a smaller size bottle. I really appreciate that fact. The baking ability of this is of course perfect and since I can buy the smaller size, it makes it a great value since I won't be throwing away half a bottle when it goes bad or out of date. This is the perfect product in the perfect size. Review: Perfect for Homemade Play Dough — Works Every Time! - I bought this cream of tartar specifically for making homemade play dough, and it works perfectly! The texture comes out soft, smooth, and stretchy every single time, just like store-bought (if not better). A little goes a long way, and the container seals well so it stays fresh. If you make play dough regularly for your kids, sensory bins, or classroom activities, this is absolutely worth having on hand. Reliable quality and great results — definitely a 5/5!
