heavy?

[HayHay]

What does it mean by 'heavy' cream? Im not sure of the terminology as i live in New Zealand! Also how much is an ounce of heavy cream? We dont use ounces. Ive been using the whipped cream from a can but im not sure of how much to have a day??

Do you have double cream in NZ? Double cream is heavy cream (just named differently)

[HayHay]

ummm no? well we dont call it that...
we have the one in a can the you shake up and then spray out, and then the more liquidy one in a bottle...more runny..

Thats the best i can explain haha, but i dont know which one to use or how much an ounce of cream is?? arrggh

One fluid ounce of the double cream (fairly thick but still runny when fresh) I use is two tablespoons.

One fluid ounce of the squirty cream isnt much, and as it is bulked up by the added gas to make it foamy I am not sure how much volume one fluid ounce of plain cream whips up into.

If you have a food processor or blender stick whip thing you could try whipping up one fluid ounce of the runny stuff to know how large a blob it makes, to be able to guess the equivalent quantity used of the squirty stuff (if it has legal ingredients).

Some of the squirty cream has sugar or other sugar stuff like high fructose corn syrup or dextrose added so would not be induction-legal. As with all products make sure you check the ingredients for hidden sugar
