I never understood premade whipped cream. It takes two minutes to make. Cream, bowl, a little liqueur, tiny bit of salt, then go to town. Use a mixer if you need one, a hand beater isn't expensive.
Some people don't want to spend two minutes making whipped cream and then cleaning everything they got out to make it, or they just don't have time.
It's not hard to understand in the slightest.
"Why do people buy food you can easily make?"
That's like most food products and restaurants.
Sure, but it's only a bowl and a whisk. I just rinse them, too.
I guess everyone has things they find super easy and this is one of mine.
Many things can take 10 minutes or less to process.
However when you add in the time to gather, prep and buy ingredients and cleanup, it adds up exponentially.
I was counting that. Whiping cream is super fast once you know how, cleanup is easy. And buying heavy cream is something I would usually do anyway. Buying the prewhipped stuff takes no less effort than buying a carton.
It would definitely depend on your comfort level.
And if you’re already cooking a million other things. Not everything spawns from laziness.
Of course not, I'm not saying anyone's lazy. I would encourage people to learn how to do it, though! It's one of those things that is surprisingly easy and can save you some cash and fridge space.
You're not always going to be cooking a million other things. Sometimes you're just pulling cheesecake out of the freezer, and at that point a quick whipped cream batch is nbd.
