Foodies: what's the difference between clotted cream, sour cream, creme freche, double cream & single cream?

Which do you cook with and what kind of things do you serve with each one?|||Clotted cream - strawberries, scones


Sour Cream - good for making scones and bread


Creme Freche and Double Cream - Sauces, Cold Desserts, Ice Creams etc


Single Cream - Pouring over fruit, Gateaux, Coffee





edit -clotted cream is made by heat treating unpasteurised milk then being allowed to cool, the milk fats rise to the top, this is %26#039;clotted%26#039; cream|||Clotted cream - scones


sour cream - potato skins, jacket potatoes, savoury salad dressings


creme freche - I use as a yogurt substitute


double cream (easier to whip than single) - trifle topping, sponge cake filling


single cream - add to soups or hot puddings like crumble|||they%26#039;re all different kinds of cream


you can serve/cook any of them


they just taste different


ex: serve sour cream with potatoes, meat, tacos, chips, vegetables, etc.


they%26#039;re all extremely versatile|||double cream is better to cook with, as single cream tends to split easier at high temperatures.


creme freche is a little healthier than cream i think.


sour cream and clotted cream is just what the title says.|||Difference in taste that is all
