Président Professionnel Liaisons & Cuissons: 18% fat UHT cooking cream that binds sauces and handles heat and acidity, in a single 1 litre carton.
Président Professionnel Liaisons & Cuissons is an 18% fat UHT light cream that Lactalis Professional describes as a technical alternative for all culinary uses. Lactalis says it gives up to 40% more sauce and cuts cooking time by around 30% compared with standard creams, gives a smooth, even binding, and can be mixed with hot or cold and acidic ingredients without changing consistency. It also copes well with high temperatures and long cooking, for example in gratins, and Lactalis says it passed comparison tests against classic 30% fat creams. Per the product specification, the ingredients are light cream (milk), emulsifier E472e, modified starch, and pectin and carrageenan as stabilisers, with no preservatives or palm oil; per 100 g it gives about 191 kcal and 18 g fat. Keep it at no more than +18°C before opening, then refrigerate and use quickly. In general, it suits pasta sauces, creamy soups, curries and baked vegetable gratins.
