How do I use nitrous oxide (N2O) chargers (whippets)?

Both the CO2 (seltzer) and N2O (whip cream) chargers are made of steel and can be recycled. We encourage you to your local recycling program with any specific questions regarding their safe disposal.

Making delicious whip cream with our nitrous oxide chargers and dispensers is extremely easy. Nitrous Oxide gas is used in the preparation of whipped cream recipes and other foam creations like espuma and mousse desserts. Do not use the carbon dioxide (CO2) Soda chargers you find on our site for whipping cream or espuma preparation, the result will be carbonated cream. Essentially, the "stabilizing agents" in the liquid bind with the nitrous oxide to create a foam. These stabilizing agents are the milk fats, gelatins, or some other material. Nitrogen is a naturally occurring gas in the air we breathe, and in fact accounts for approximately 80% of our atmosphere. This gas is responsible for binding to the milk fats when you prepare the whipped cream with a whisk. The whip cream canisters and nitrous oxide chargers we sell make the process much easier and more predictable. Each charger contains 8 grams of pure nitrous oxide which is adequate for up to 1 pint of liquid whipping cream. Detailed instructions about the use of nitrous oxide whip cream chargers (whippets) whipped cream dispensers (whippers) are included with every order.

 If your cream whipper is not producing the desired consistency of cream, it may be due to overfilling the whipper or not shaking it enough before dispensing. Make sure to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer for the correct amount of cream to use and the proper shaking technique. If the issue persists, try using a different brand of cream or adjusting the amount of N2O gas used.

It is recommended to use only high-quality N2O cartridges that are specifically designed for cream whippers. Using low-quality or off-brand cartridges can affect the performance of your whipper and may even damage it. Always check the manufacturer's recommendations for compatible cartridges.

To clean your cream whipper, first remove any remaining cream or liquid from the dispenser. Then, disassemble the whipper and wash each part with warm, soapy water. Be sure to thoroughly rinse and dry each part before reassembling the whipper. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the whipper.

If you notice gas leaking from your N2O cream whipper, first check to make sure that the cartridge is properly inserted and tightened. If the leak continues, it may be a sign that the seal in the whipper is damaged. In this case, you may need to replace the seal to prevent further leaks.

This could be due to a few reasons. First, make sure that the N2O cartridge is properly inserted and tightened. If it is, then the issue may be with the whipper itself. Try cleaning the nozzle and dispenser head to ensure there are no blockages. If the problem persists, it may be time to replace the dispenser head.

N2O is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming and ozone depletion. Its production can also lead to the release of nitrogen oxides, which can contribute to air pollution and acid rain.
