Table For Estimation Of Fat Percentages In Cream
To determine the fat percentage of the cream: One quart of whole milk, of 4% fat, will yield on an average, approximately :
Cream 10% fat in upper 11 ounces after standing 8 hours or more. 12% " " " 8 " " " 8 " " "
16% " " " 6 " " " 8 " " "
" 20% " " " 4 " " " 8 " " "
Fat-free milk is the lowest 8 ounces after standing 8 or more hours.
A sugar measure is approximately one level tablespoonful. One measure to a twenty-ounce mixture gives 2 per cent. of sugar, from which fact one may easily increase or decrease the sugar percentage in any of the above formulae.
