things people ask

• How much cream goes into a single cup of coffee?
  Most people pour 1-2 tablespoons (14-28 g), depending on how pale they like the color. A diner-style 'splash' is closer to one tablespoon, while a cappuccino-leaning pour runs two. If you're tracking calories, 1 tbsp of heavy cream is roughly 50 kcal, versus around 20 kcal for half-and-half — small spoon, real difference.
• Why do pan sauce recipes finish with 'a tablespoon or two of cream'?
  At the end of deglazing, a tablespoon of cream (14 g) loosens the sauce and rounds out acidity from wine or vinegar without diluting flavor. Two tablespoons turns a sauce visibly paler and silkier. More than that and you're moving from finishing fat to a cream sauce, which usually wants its own reduction step rather than a quick swirl off the heat.
• Can I substitute milk tablespoon-for-tablespoon for cream in scrambled eggs?
  By volume yes, but the texture changes. A tablespoon of cream (14 g, ~36% fat) per two eggs gives a custardy curd; a tablespoon of whole milk has roughly a tenth of that fat and gives a looser, slightly weepier scramble. If you only have milk, use a touch less and finish with a knob of butter to make up the fat.
