COOKING TECHNIQUES- CREAMING. COOKING TECHNIQUES- PUREE.

COOKING TECHNIQUES- CREAMING
CREAMING IN COOKING
CREAMING, in baking, is the technique of blending ingredients — usually granulated sugar — together with a solid fat like shortening or butter. The technique is most often used in making butter cream, cake batter or cookie dough. The dry ingredients are mixed or beaten with the fat until it becomes light and fluffy and increased in volume, due to the incorporation of tiny air bubbles..


COOKING TECHNIQUES

PUREE   and (more rarely) mash are general terms for cooked food, usually vegetables or legumes, that have been ground, pressed, blended or sieved to the consistency of a soft creamy paste or thick liquid. Purées of specific foods are often known by specific names, e.g mashed potatoes or apple sauce. The term is of French origin

    This butter cream rose looks deliciously yummy! Love purées in general, a good alternative between eating vegetables and keeping it sweet. My food of the winter for sure.
    Have a lovely day Wan!

    hi beanizer 06..never grow old, many thanks for coming..here- take 2 dozen butter cream roses for your hon and a dozen more for you... sure you both like them very much,
    Sorry the crab claws on my right sidebar looks very delicious, very simple cooking, they just bake and add some sauce and condiments to it- so no recipe for you on crabs today..

    I failed in bakery. I also don't know that you need to bake a cake not cook it. Hihihihi..... Why don't you teach how to make the rose?

    hi uma, thanks for really liking the bettur milk rose, not that easy to make at first. the way to hold the piping stuff is a little bit awkward for me... what more to do intricate petals, but done, one for the camera... have a good weekend

    hi reshmi, visited you today, you seem to be having a great time blogging those delicious looking foodies.. so how have you been doing, glad you came and
    thanks for liking my petals- intricate to do, for a beginner like me, i find it very difficult to arrange the petals at first.. glad those wafer cones helped a lot...helps to give a perfect finish to each rose.
