How to Use Whip Cream Chargers
Whip cream chargers are a convenient way to make fresh, whipped cream at home. They are small, metal canisters that contain nitrous oxide, a gas that is used to propel the cream out of the dispenser.
What You Need
To use a whip cream charger, you will need:
• A whip cream dispenser
• Whip cream chargers
• Heavy cream
• A decorator tip (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the whip cream dispenser. Wash the dispenser and all of its parts with warm, soapy water. Rinse the parts thoroughly and dry them with a clean towel.
- Add the heavy cream to the dispenser. Pour the heavy cream into the dispenser, filling it no more than halfway.
- Screw on the charger holder. Screw the charger holder onto the dispenser head until it is snug.
- Insert the charger. Insert the charger into the charger holder, making sure that the small end is facing up.
- Screw on the charger holder. Screw the charger holder onto the dispenser head until you hear a hissing sound. This indicates that the gas is being released into the dispenser.
- Shake the dispenser. Shake the dispenser vigorously for about 30 seconds.
- Dispense the whipped cream. Point the dispenser at a bowl or serving dish and press the lever to dispense the whipped cream.
