Preparação
  1. A ICatarina podia dar aqui a sua opinião sobre que natas das portuguesas mais se adequam a cada uma destas. Se algumas são mais fáceis outras nem por isso.
  2. Tipos de natas-Types of Cream Type Butterfat Content Uses
  3. Half and Half Cream
  4. % fat (range 10.5-18%)
  5. In the United States, half and half is a mix of ½ whole milk and ½ cream, typically used as a cream in coffee. Half-and-half does not whip, but it can be used in place of whipping (heavy) cream in many recipes for less fat cooking.
  6. Single Cream
  7. %
  8. Cream with a low fat-content, which does not thicken when beaten. Used in both sweet and savory dishes. Also know as light cream.
  9. Light Cream
  10. % fat (range 18-30%)
  11. Pretty much the same as half and half. Also know as coffee cream or table cream. Will whip if it contains 30% butterfat but will not be very stable. Generally contains only 20% butterfat. Also know as single cream. Light cream is not available everywhere.
  12. Whipping Cream
  13. %
  14. Cream with enough butterfat in it to allow it to thicken when whipped. Does not whip as well as heavy cream but works well for toppings and fillings.
  15. Almost all whipping cream is now ultra-pasteurized, a process of heating that considerably extends its shelf life by killing bacteria and enzymes.
  16. Heavy Cream
  17. or
  18. Heavy Whipping Cream
  19. to 38%
  20. This cream whips denser than whipping cream. Whips up well and holds its shape. Doubles in volume when whipped.
  21. Double Cream
  22. %
  23. Double cream is the British term for heavy or whipping cream in the United States, but it is a little thicker than our whipping cream. It contains about 48% butterfat.
  24. Double cream is so rich, in fact, that it is easy to over whip it and get it too thick.
  25. Clotted Cream
  26. to 60%
  27. Also know as Devonshire or Devon Cream. It is a thick, rich, yellowish cream with a scalded or cooked flavor that is made by heating unpasteurized milk until a thick layer of cream sit on top. The milk is cooled and the layer of cream is skimmed off.
  28. Traditionally served with tea and scones in England.

  30. Creme fraiche
  31. It is a matured, thickened cream that has a slightly tangy, nutty flavor and velvety rich texture. The thickness can range from that of commercial sour cream to almost as solid as room temperature margarine. In France, the cream is unpasteurized and therefore contains the bacteria necessary to thicken it naturally. In America, where all commercial cream is pasteurized, the fermenting agents necessary can be obtained by adding buttermilk or sour cream.
  32. It is used as a dessert topping and in cooked sauces and soups, where it has the advantage of not curdling when boiled.

  34. Pasteurized and Ultra-pasteurized: Creams will generally be labeled pasteurized or ultra-pasteurized.
  35. Pasteurized cream will provide a better flavor, will whip up fluffier, and will hold up longer.
  36. As ultra-pasteurized whipping cream has been heated to above 280 degrees F. to extend its shelf life, it is more temperamental when it comes to whipping. Ultra-Pasteurized Heavy Cream "will not work" if peaks or frothing are required in your recipe.
