Step 4 Scald the dairy.

Place all of your dairy (2 Cups Heavy Cream, and 2 Cups Half & Half) into a nice sauce pan, that it fits in comfortably. Heat it up slowly and gently (I start on medium high, then lower to medium, or even medium low. Use your thermometer if you're like me and like knowing the digits) until it just barely begins to simmer (bubble) around the edges of your pan.  This is called "Scalding" the dairy, it'll smell like your doing something.  Stir it pretty regularly during this time or else you'll get a chunky skin on the top and maybe a build up of goo on the bottom, so STIR.  You'll be doing other things while this heats, so don't forget about it.  The slower you heat, the better the final result will be (so they say), but don't get all OCD about it.
