It adds texture, volume and lift to beaten egg whites in angel food cake, meringue shells, meringue for pies and 7-minute frostings, resulting in light and fluffy holiday desserts. Cream of tartar, also known as tartaric acid, is a byproduct left after the fermentation of grapes into wine. This tasteless baking necessity stabilizes beaten egg whites in desserts and egg dishes. A pinch of cream of tartar also helps prevent homemade whipped cream from deflating. To make your own baking powder, simply mix 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar and 1/4 tsp. each baking soda & cornstarch. You can also make a gentle cleaner for copper cookware by mixing cream of tartar with a little water into a paste. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0014E6KM8 | | Best Sellers Rank | #9,095 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #2 in Cream of Tartar | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,857) | | Date First Available | January 7, 2012 | | Item model number | dinirao | | Label | McCormick & Co., Inc. | | Manufacturer | McCormick & Co., Inc. | | Product Dimensions | 1.77 x 1.77 x 2.19 inches; 2.02 ounces | ## Product Details - **Brand:** McCormick - **Item Form:** Powder - **Item Weight:** 2.08 ounces - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Unit Count:** 1.5 Ounce ## Images ![McCormick Cream Of Tartar, 1.5 oz - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81pgGtLRWYL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I tried to beat 7 egg whites with 1/2 teaspoon of this cream of tartar but it won't get stiff at all. Still watery after long time beating. why?** A: Hi Doug...If you are having trouble beating egg whites to stiff peaks, it may be 1 of 3 things. If any of the yolk got into the whites while separating, this can lessen the ability to form stiff peaks, as can contamination from oil, fat or detergent on the utensils. Lastly, never use a plastic bowl to beat the egg whites, since fat molecules are attracted to some plastics and may leave a film on the inside of the bowl. Hope this helpful. ~Tina **Q: my item arrived and it was completely broken, how can I get a replacement or return of this item?** A: We are sorry to hear of your unfortunate experience ordering through Amazon.
