If you have pots that discolor easily when boiling water, this will stop it. You can use it to clean your crock pots, etc and the stuff that builds up goes away quickly. Use it in merange (mspelled) to make it fluff and stay stiff longer. Lots of uses if you look

My recipe does call for Cr. Tarter so I just use it and also use it when I burn something in the bottom of a pan. Works wonders! Just shake some in the pan with some water, and heat for awhile, and the burned whatever comes right out!

The cream of tartar keeps the cookies light and helps them rise so I guess you could jsut add more baking soda or baking powder but have never tried it. The bottle I am using is two years old but no where near the expiration date. I also use it for egg white meringue.
