Cream of tartar is the common name for potassium hydrogen tartrate. It is an acid based salt used in cooking. It is most often used in sugar based desserts as the acid inhibits crystals forming producing a creamier texture. It is also used in meringues to help stabilize and give more volume to the beaten egg whites.
