things people ask

• How many tablespoons of cottage cheese are in a single-serve tub?
  Most single-serve tubs run 150 to 225 grams, which works out to roughly 11 to 16 tablespoons. A 150-gram snack pot is around 10 to 11 tablespoons, while a standard 226-gram tub matches the cup measure at 16 tablespoons. Useful if a recipe calls for half a tub or you're portioning one container across two breakfasts.
• Can I swap cottage cheese for sour cream a tablespoon at a time in dressings?
  Yes, but blend it first. A tablespoon of cottage cheese (about 14 grams) is curdy and won't disperse in a vinaigrette or ranch the way sour cream does. Buzz the whole tub smooth in a small blender, then spoon out tablespoons. The flavor is milder and tangier, so you may want a squeeze of lemon to match sour cream's bite.
• Does whisking cottage cheese into eggs change how I measure the tablespoon?
  Measure before whisking. Scoop a level tablespoon — around 14 grams — directly from the tub and add it to beaten eggs off the heat or just before pouring into the pan. Whisking after measuring incorporates air and you'd no longer be able to scoop a true tablespoon. Two tablespoons per two eggs is the usual ratio for creamy curds without weeping.
