Cream of tartar is an essential product for baking. Many of us follow recipes and add it when it's called for. But what is its function? Is it really essential for a tender, moist, great-tasting cookie or cake? The answer is yes! Cream of tartar is an acidic powder, which is usually mixed with a base, such as baking soda. When these products are combined in a liquid they create carbon dioxide bubbles. Formation of these small bubbles causes baked products to rise and be tender.

don't try this at home! If you're planning on building a replica of the Gingerbread House, you'll want to consider some serious grocery shopping. The icing alone takes 300 pounds of powdered sugar, 95 pounds of egg whites and 4 1/2 pounds of cream of tartar. The Gingerbread siding on the house takes 40 pounds of margarine, 119 pounds of sugar, 32 pounds of brown sugar, 7 gallons of molasses, 225 pounds of flour, 3 pounds of salt, 2 pounds of ginger and cinnamon each and 1 pound of cloves. More than 20 pounds of hard candy is used for the finishing touches. GALENA, Ill. - Probably nowhere in the world is there a greater repertoire of gingerbread recipes than America, varying in taste, presentation, ingredients, baking aids and decorative items.
Q:How can I remove a wax buildup on the linoleum floor tiles in my kitchen? - L. Peterson A:You can use a ready-made wax stripper like Armstrong Genuine Floor Stripper, or make a homemade stripper that also works well by adding one cup of cream of tartar to a gallon of white vinegar. Test any stripper first on an inconspicuous area of the floor to make sure it doesn't damage the linoleum. Also, before beginning wax removal, you should clean the floor as thoroughly as possible to remove dirt and dust. If vacuuming or sweeping doesn't appear to get the floor clean, damp mop it.
Muffins may resemble cupcakes because they're usually the same shape and size, but they are entirely different. A muffin is usually based on a recipe for quick bread baked in a loaf pan. Quick breads, by definition, use baking powder, soda or cream of tartar in place of yeast for leavening. They are also made quickly and with little stirring so the ingredients have the ability to rise. They may have a streusel or glaze, but you won't see a muffin topped with buttercream frosting. Muffins are typically a breakfast treat, but they're great comfort food any time of day. Here, cranberries and yellow cornmeal team for texture and pure American flavor. These rustic, crusty muffins are wonderful served warm right out of the oven along with berry preserves. If you want to make sure the muffins ...
Meringues are versatile pastries used to top pies and make cookies, and are even used as crusts. They were invented in 1720 by a Swiss chef from the town of Merhirnyghen. Ingredients in meringues are egg whites for volume, sugar for a glossy sheen and flavor, and cream of tartar to hold it all together.

Dear Dr. Gott: Seven years ago, I was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy due to numbness on the bottoms of both feet. My podiatrist made the diagnosis. Because I wasn't a diabetic or an alcoholic, he diagnosed idiopathic PN. I was 75 at the time. He wanted to do muscle tests, which I turned down in favor of a second opinion at the local Mayo Clinic. Their tests showed the neuropathy to be present, and they suggested I take 600 milligrams per day of alpha-lipoic acid from my health-food store and exercise . I have always been a heavy user of Vicks VapoRub, so I began massaging it onto both feet -- bottom and top, heels and toes. My chiropractor also suggested one-eighth of a teaspoon of cream of tartar mixed with water at night.

The sweet winter pears featured in this recipe are harvested in September. While all varieties are delicious (and nutritious), for cooking we recommend Bosc-light brown and gold with an elegant tapering neck-or Anjou pears-plump, oval and light green when ripe. These are firmer varieties and hold up best to heat. And, although ripeness matters less when selecting pears for cooking, firmer fruit may require a longer simmering time and an extra touch of sweetener. Lastly, while this recipe calls for minimal chocolate, the rich, dark chocolate used here imparts maximum flavor. In addition, research has shown that compounds in cocoa, called flavonoids, impart important antioxidant benefits. The higher the cocoa content, the more beneficial the effect. And, you guessed it-dark chocolate has ...
