Questions about Saltine crackers
What do you put on saltine crackers?
Try them with cheddar, cream cheese, hummus or sliced tomato; their crisp, lightly salted surface also works well with tuna or egg salad. For a quick snack, top them just before eating so they stay crunchy.
How do you use saltine crackers in cooking?
Crush them into fine crumbs for a coating on fish or chicken, or use them in place of breadcrumbs in meatloaf and savoury bakes. For a crisp coating, dip the food in beaten egg, press on the crumbs and bake until golden and cooked through.
How should you store saltine crackers once the packet is open?
Seal them in an airtight tin or container and keep them in a cool, dry cupboard. If they have gone soft, spread them on a baking tray and warm them at 150 °C for a few minutes, then cool completely before sealing.
What can you use instead of saltine crackers?
For a similar crisp, plain base, use cream crackers or water biscuits; for a crumb coating, dry breadcrumbs work well. Saltines are usually thinner and saltier than water biscuits, so add less extra salt to the dish.
Are saltine crackers the same as cream crackers?
No. Saltines are typically square, thin soda crackers with a lightly salted top; cream crackers are often larger and have a richer, flakier texture. They can usually replace one another for cheese or dips, though the texture will differ.
How many saltine crackers make a serving?
A small serving is about five square crackers, roughly 15 g. That provides 141 mg of sodium, so bear in mind that toppings such as cheese or cured meat can add more.
Are whole-wheat saltine crackers higher in fibre than regular saltines?
Yes: whole-wheat saltines have 6.7 g of fibre per 100 g, compared with 2.8 g in regular saltines. Their sodium is also higher, at 1,214 mg per 100 g compared with 941 mg.
