Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender celery: The best creamed celery is made with fresh, crisp celery. Avoid wilted or limp celery, as it will not have as much flavor.
  • Cut the celery into even-sized pieces: This will help the celery cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality cream: The cream is the key ingredient in creamed celery, so it's important to use a good quality cream. Heavy cream or whipping cream will give you the richest flavor.
  • Season the creamed celery to taste: Creamed celery is typically seasoned with salt and pepper, but you can also add other spices or herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Serve creamed celery immediately: Creamed celery is best served immediately after it is made. It can be reheated, but it may not be as creamy or flavorful.
