What is cream of tartar used for?
Adding a small amount of cream of tartar when you're beating egg whites—usually 1/8 teaspoon per egg white—speeds up the creation of foam and helps stabilize the structure of those miniscule air bubbles you're whipping up. In baking, this means mile-high meringue pies, melt-in-your-mouth meringue cookies, and angel food cakes that practically float off the plate.

Popcorn & a Movie (Watkins Style)

Having the grandkids over? Skip the pricey theater snacks and create your own blockbuster treat at home. Pop up a big batch of good old-fashioned popcorn on the stove (trust us—worth it!), then set out all three Watkins Organic Popcorn Seasonings: Ranch, Butter/Salt, and White Cheddar. Give each grandkid their own little bowl so they can mix, match, and maybe even invent "mystery" flavors. Keep Watkins Organic Canola Oil Cooking Spray handy—it's the perfect way to make seasoning stick (and keeps those flavor battles fair).
