How is Nitrous Oxide (N2O) used to make whipped cream?




Nitrous Oxide (N2O) and whipped cream by GoldWhip

When nitrous oxide (N2O) is combined with cream and dispensed through a nozzle, it expands and creates a fluffy whipped cream.



Nitrous oxide, also known as N2O, is commonly used to make whipped cream in the catering industry.


When nitrous oxide is combined with cream and dispensed through a nozzle, it expands and creates a whipped cream that is light and fluffy. This method is faster and more efficient than traditional whipping methods and produces a stable whipped cream that can last longer.


To make whipped cream using nitrous oxide, you will need a whipped cream dispenser, which is a device that mixes nitrous oxide and cream together. The dispenser has a canister filled with cream and a small cartridge of nitrous oxide. When the dispenser is activated, the nitrous oxide is released into the cream, causing it to expand and become light and fluffy.



Here's how to make whipped cream using nitrous oxide:


Fill the cream maker with heavy cream and any desired flavourings. You can use a recipe or follow the manufacturer's instructions for proportions.


Insert an N2O cream charger into the cream maker. The charger will release the N2O gas into the cream, which will help to whip the cream and increase its volume.


Close the cream maker and dispense the whipped cream as needed. The whipped cream can be dispensed directly onto desserts or other dishes, or it can be transferred to a separate container for storage or later use.


Repeat the process as needed to make more whipped cream. You can use additional N2O cream chargers as needed to make more whipped cream.


Overall, using N2O to make whipped cream is a fast and convenient way to create whipped cream for catering events or other large gatherings. It can save time and effort in the kitchen and help you achieve perfect results every time.
