Half/Half cream equivalent

[Deutscher]

Hi guys,

So I'm doing some cooking and come across Half/Half cream.
"A mixture of half milk and half cream. It has 10-12% milkfat and cannot be whipped."

Does anyone know the equivalent is in Oz?

Use extra light thickened cream which is 12% fat as far as I am aware. If your not close to a deli, just use light thickened which is 18% fat.

Thx! Bulla Thickened Extra Light is only 12% fat.
Now I'm just worried about Curddling. Apparently the less the fat the easier it curdles.

Err get a bowl, put 1 cup milk and 1 cup cream in it? Half/Half cream mix? :idea3:

Lol. not quite.
What fat percentage would the cream be? and what fat percentage would the milk be?
half/half is 10-12% fat.
also mr smarty pants - Would you use full cream or skim milk?

Edit: I googled it. Yahoo Answers gives - "4-1/2 teaspoons melted butter plus enough whole milk to equal 1 cup. or One cup of evaporated milk may also be substituted for each cup of half-and-half cream."

I'll just got with Minux's idea.

Well... if you were needing 10-12% fat, then im sure using a combination of full cream milk, and skim, or even Paul's smarter white milk, with only two percent fat, you could establish a mix that consisted of 10-12% fat. However then you need to factor in the cream's fat content. Some heavy math will be involved.

not really.. just use 50% of cream thats 20% fat then use the other 50% of milk with 2% fat and you will have 50/50 milk/cream with 12% fat content

That would actully be 11% fat.
