FAQ About Sour Cream
To freeze sour cream, place in plastic containers or a glass container (such as a mason jar) and freeze for up to 2 months for best results. When ready to use, let it sit overnight in the fridge until it has fully thawed.
Since sour cream is not a heat-stable product, it should not be cooked on its own. If it has been combined with other foods such as tacos, it can withstand more cooking time. Once it has been heated, reheating is not recommended.
Sour cream can be added to whipped cream to give it an extra boost of fluffiness. Whisk in the sour cream until it’s incorporated fully, but be sure to stop there.
Sour cream is often used as a topping for chili and other soups, as well as a garnish for Mexican-themed foods such as tacos, nachos and burritos. It can also easily be turned into an easy cold dip for potato chips, French fries, fruit sticks and crackers. It is also commonly used in baked goods, such as cakes, bread, cookies, cheesecake and cupcakes.
Sour cream is often added to cheesecakes in order to soften the texture of the cheese, as well as add moisture to the end result.
Sour cream is safe for dog consumption and is completely non-toxic. As with most other human foods, let dogs enjoy in moderation in order to avoid digestive issues.
Plain sour cream with no added flavorings is naturally gluten free, as are all unaltered dairy products such as heavy cream, cottage cheese, cream cheese and yogurt.
When combined with other foods such as burritos, sour cream is safe to heat in the microwave. If microwaving on its own, first transfer to a microwave-safe container (not the original tub it was purchased in) and heat in short increments (no more than 20-30 seconds at a time).
