Cream of tartar

What is cream of tartar?!?! .. i’ve seen in so many recipes but m still not sure if its the “cooking soda” or “tartaree” or is it sumthin else?!?! :confused:

something else :p

According to Nigelle:

Cream of Tartar is a natural, pure ingredient left behind after grape juice has fermented to wine. Cream of Tartar is used to stabilize egg white foams. It is also a major ingredient in baking powder.

Can sumbudy tell me wuts it called in 'urdu'?!?! :(

Is this like tartar sauce that you put in a fish sandwich? If so, I must say I love it! Yummy.

So … nobody knows!!! :teary1:

Sorry, don't know what its called in urdu. Probably the same as in english?

Something that I use ocassionally when whipping egg whites when baking. Seems to add lightness to batters.

Makes the eggwhites peak really well.
