长期以来,奶油只是用来做黄油的。不过17世纪开始,一些厨师开始用它直接来烹饪,尤其是一些皇家或贵族家庭的厨师对它钟爱有加。因此,奶油成为高档美食的代名词。当时,奶油被人们推崇的主要原因就是:它能使酱汁变得更为香滑,从而成为贵族的桌上佳品。路易十四发明了今天我们经常见到的掼奶油。到了18世纪,奶油的应用更为广泛。它不仅用于甜品和最早的冰淇淋,还用来烹调肉类。 Cream has long been used to make butter. However, beginning in the 17th century, some chefs began to use it to cook directly, especially some royal or aristocratic families chefs love it. Therefore, cream has become synonymous with high-end food. At the time, cream was respected for the main reason: it makes sauces become more smooth, and thus become aristocratic high-quality table. Louis XIV invented what we often see today 掼 cream. By the 18th century cream was more widely used. It is used not only for desserts and the earliest ice cream, but also for cooking meat.
