What is table cream?

Table cream is a type of dairy cream that is used in cooking and baking. It has a higher fat content than regular milk, typically around 18-30% fat. Table cream is often used in recipes to add richness and creaminess to dishes such as soups, sauces, and desserts.

Unlike heavy cream, which has a higher fat content (36-40% fat) and can be whipped into stiff peaks, table cream is not suitable for whipping. It is best used as a liquid ingredient in recipes or as a topping for dishes such as fruit, pie, or hot chocolate.

Table cream can be found in most grocery stores in the dairy section. It is typically sold in pint or quart-sized containers. When using table cream in recipes, be sure to store it in the refrigerator and use it before the expiration date listed on the container.
