things people ask

• How much coconut cream do I need to swirl on top of a bowl of soup?
  One to two teaspoons (about 6 to 12 g) per serving is enough to draw a visible spiral on a bowl of red lentil dal, pumpkin soup, or tom kha. Warm the teaspoon slightly under hot water before scooping so the cream releases cleanly and runs into a ribbon rather than sitting in a clump on the surface.
• Can I use a teaspoon of coconut cream in place of butter in a small sauce?
  For finishing a pan sauce or vinaigrette, a teaspoon (5.92 g) of coconut cream emulsifies similarly to butter but contributes a coconut flavor that suits curry-leaf, lime, or chili-based sauces. It won't brown like butter, so don't expect the same nutty notes — use it off-heat at the end, the way you'd mount a sauce with cold butter.
• How do I measure a teaspoon accurately when the cream is solid and cold?
  Cold coconut cream cuts cleanly with a measuring spoon if you press it in and scrape level against the jar rim. If it's straight from the fridge and rock-hard, let it sit at room temperature for ten minutes or microwave the jar in 5-second pulses until just spoonable — fully melted cream packs differently and 5.92 g of liquid will overfill the spoon.
