  1. Whip Cream Chargers Explained Whip cream chargers are small, affordable canisters filled with nitrous oxide (N2O). They’ re used to whip up fresh, fluffy whipped cream. But they’re also incredibly useful in other culinary applications and can even be employed to create carbonated drinks! This article will explain what they are and how they work, as well as offering a few examples of the countless culinary possibilities that they provide. Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an odorless gas with a bitter, metallic taste. It is often referred to as laughing gas because it causes the user to feel euphoric and light-headed. The chemical is often administered by health professionals for medical purposes, as it’s a safe anesthetic that can be used in oral surgery or for dental procedures. However, it’s also commonly used in cooking, particularly by professional chefs. It is a great alternative to using eggs and hand beaters to whip up a batch of whipped cream. When a canister of N2O is placed inside a whipped cream dispenser, it’s pierced and the gas is allowed to release through the narrow end. The N2O reacts with the fats, gelatines and stabilising agents in the cream, causing it to rapidly aerate into a light and fluffy consistency that’s ideal for topping desserts or adding to cocktails. While it’s primarily in the restaurant and bar industry that whip cream chargers are most widely used, they’re increasingly being used at home as amateur chefs attempt to replicate the gastronomic creations of the experts. As long as people only use chargers from reputable, established brands such as ISI, Kayser, Liss and Mosa and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines, these little canisters of fun are perfectly safe to use. There are many different uses for a N2O charger, but the most common is obviously to whip up a batch of whipped or carbonated cream. Unlike the traditional method of beating egg whites with hand beaters, N2O chargers are very fast and easy to use. They’re also a much safer and more reliable option, especially for people with arthritis or who have limited strength in their hands. Another popular use for a whipped cream charger is in the preparation of cocktail foams and espumas. These are an aesthetically pleasing and delicious addition to many cocktails, but they can be difficult to make without the aid of a charger. The process of shaking egg whites in a cocktail shaker can be slow, messy and time consuming, so a charger is an efficient alternative for busy bars or restaurants. A whipped cream charger can be purchased from online suppliers such as EUR-Kitchen for an inexpensive price and will typically come with a free nozzle tip, brush for cleaning and detailed instructions for use. Most reputable online retailers will offer a customer-friendly return and refund policy, too, so you can be confident that you’re buying a quality product.
