Whipped cream is a very versatile ingredient for an endless number of sweet preparations. From crowning cakes to accompanying some strawberries or filling a tender bun. Now, the whipped cream you buy in the supermarket has no point of comparison with the whipped cream at home. The second has more body and an incomparable texture.
But whipping cream can be a tedious task. You need a large bowl and, preferably, a whisk to speed up the process. If you do not have this small appliance, you would have no choice but to whip the cream by hand, for which you will need a lot of strength, energy and great care so that it does not break. Good news: there is a much simpler and faster trick to whip the cream without the need for a mixer or whisk.
Without a food processor, without a mixer and without whisks. You can whip a small amount of cream with the help of a shaker (the typical glass with a lid for mixing cocktails or smoothies) or with an airtight container. This has been shown on Instagram by @deliciousmartha, with 1.7 million on this social network, known for its recipes and cooking tricks.
“You would never have imagined that it would be so easy to whip a small amount of cream,” he promises. You just have to put the cream in the container, close it very well and shake it vigorously. You will see how the cream quickly acquires a creamy texture and, in addition, you can store it in that same container. Simple and without the need to stain the food processor or mixer.
In the same video where she shows how to whip the cream, Martha reveals other kitchen tips to amaze you. One of them is used to make it easier for you to store the cakes in the refrigerator without them breaking. To do this, she serves the cake on the lid of the container and then covers it with the container and closes it tightly.
On the other hand, to solve the challenge of spreading butter on your toast, you can use a potato peeler to cut the butter into thin slices. The video continues revealing the key to not waste the honey that gets stuck on the spoon when serving it, because when you spread the spoon with a little olive oil all the honey will slide off to make the most of it.
Another trick that Martha shares is aimed at avoiding dry lemons. If you are only going to need a small amount of its juice, rub it with your hand against the counter, stick a long toothpick into one of its ends and extract the juice through this hole, without having to cut the lemon. And if you always lose the wire that closes the sliced bread, give the plastic a few turns and wrap the sliced bread with the excess end, as seen in the video.
