things people ask

• How much sour cream goes on a baked potato?
  Most steakhouse-style portions land at 1-2 tablespoons, or 14-28 g. One tablespoon gives you a single visible dollop; two covers the split surface of a medium russet. If you're plating six potatoes for dinner, plan on roughly 6-12 tablespoons total — close to half a standard tub.
• Can I add a tablespoon of sour cream to boxed cake mix?
  Yes, and many bakers do. Stirring 1-2 tablespoons (14-28 g) into a single-batch boxed cake adds tang and a slight tenderizing effect from the acid, without thinning the batter the way milk would. It's a small enough adjustment that the bake time stays the same.
• How many tablespoons of sour cream are in an 8 oz tub?
  About 16 tablespoons, since one tub equals 1 cup at 227 g and each tablespoon runs about 14 g. That's worth knowing when a dip recipe calls for, say, 6 tablespoons — you're using just over a third of the container, and the rest keeps for a week or so refrigerated.
