Re: How to use kerma 5% or 15% or etc...
I meant cream you can cook with, like for a decent coq au vin, cheesecake, most tarts like quiche lorraine which need the fat content of double cream for the richness of the dish. You've listed 4 different types of cream, 1 is a coffee cream (kahvikerma), 1 is cream for strawberries (manssikkakerma) which I obviously can't use for cooking with, whipping cream (vispikerma) is what is says, good for piling on desserts, which leaves kuohukerma which I thought that was a whipping cream too, is this not the case then and its just a thick ruoka kerma that you can use in savoury dishes too? It's just a product I wish was sold here that's all.

I was under the impression that a DECENT coq au vin is rather cooked with something they sell in 0.75 litre bottles, not cream...carolinemaher wrote:I meant cream you can cook with, like for a decent coq au vin

Your right Sammy, both wine and cream even better though!!
Re: How to use kerma 5% or 15% or etc...
I use both kuohukerma and vispikerma for cooking. They behave just fine.

only difference I see in kuohukerma and vispikerma is that the latter one is UHT so it keeps a bit longer, kuohukerma is the "fresh" stuff

Most of the cream products on that list are suitable for cooking. But I have now removed those that weren’t and added descriptions straight from the original product pages:carolinemaher wrote:I meant cream you can cook with

I do use creme fraiche, not quite the same texture and taste but its the next best thing.
Thanks for the info about the Valio products I get the jist of things even with my beginners Finnish. Guess I'll give the Kuohokerma a bash then..

Neither of the two big dairy companies seem to have a crème fraîche product on the market with as much fat content as the various kuohukerma and vispikerma products (or the “double cream”, etc. grade products in the UK) though:penelope wrote:Crème Fraîche.

It should probably also be noted that crème fraîche is not just plain cream but a soured cream product, just like the Russian-origin smetana (40% fat content or more.) (The Nordic Recipe Archive “Milk products” web page, to which I already linked earlier in this thread, has more information about both crème fraîche and smetana.)

Now you've done it Jukka! the link you gave mentioned my favourite butter - Danish Lurpak - which I REALLY wish I could find here too, mind you I did find fresh 'cut off the block' organic butter at the lentave lehma cheese stand at Hakaniemi market this week which was absolutely delicious (not something you can afford every week, but its there)..

Re: How to use kerma 5% or 15% or etc...
which is smetana you need you obviously go to the Estonian deli and get hapukoor in a plastic bag of 200g or 500g at fraction of the price that jarred smetana from valio or ingman.

Or you take a clean jar, a container of kuohukerma when it's been marked down and a dinky
container of smetana and make some of your own
My MIL uses kuohukerma when she makes salmon: one salmon file, one container of kuohukerma
and fresh dill. Put salmon skin up, liberally dose with dill and pour cream over. Cook until just right.

Arla/Ingman seems to have Lurpak butter available as catering portions for wholesale customers, but not as a retail product in regular size packs:carolinemaher wrote:Now you've done it Jukka! the link you gave mentioned my favourite butter - Danish Lurpak - which I REALLY wish I could find here too

Estonians use hapukoor in everything... in sauces say like the "finnish style" cabbage rolls are with syrup, the estonians do the sauce with hapukoor... which then again does "work" quite well so if I meet any Estonian girls the first question is on sinu vanaema hea kokka? oled mitagi oppinud?enk wrote: My MIL uses kuohukerma when she makes salmon
