When using dairy-free products in recipes, it’s important to be aware of how they interact with other ingredients, especially those with high water content. Here are some tips to ensure better results:

1. Choose Stable Dairy-Free Products: Some dairy-free alternatives, like almond milk or coconut milk, may separate or break down when mixed with certain liquids. Opt for more stable products like oat milk or cashew cream.
2. Thickeners and Stabilizers: Use thickening agents such as cornstarch, arrowroot powder, or guar gum to help maintain the consistency of dairy-free products in recipes. These can prevent separation and improve texture.
3. Emulsifiers: Ingredients like lecithin can help stabilize mixtures and prevent dairy-free products from breaking down. Look for dairy-free products that already contain natural emulsifiers.
4. Gradual Mixing: When combining dairy-free products with other liquids, add them gradually and mix slowly to prevent separation. This method can help the ingredients blend more smoothly.
5. Temperature Control: Be mindful of temperature changes. Rapid temperature shifts can cause dairy-free products to break down. For example, if you’re adding a dairy-free milk to a hot soup, temper it by adding a small amount of the hot liquid to the milk first before mixing it into the soup.
6. Trial and Error: Different brands and types of dairy-free products can behave differently in recipes. Experiment with a few options to find which ones work best for your specific needs.

By understanding how to handle dairy-free products in your cooking, you can achieve better results and enjoy the full benefits of a dairy-free lifestyle.
