The whipped cream dispenser and canisters are an all-time favorite kitchen innovation and continues to grow in popularity among home cooks, cooks, bakers, and dessert makers. A siphon or whipping dispenser is considered an investment because it can last a lifetime if used correctly. These chargers contain nitrous oxide, which allows whipped cream to form. They are often referred to by the slang terms Nangs, whippits or nossies.

In this article, we are going to discuss the mechanism behind the whipped cream charger and where to buy the whipped cream tongs and dispensers.

How does the whipped cream charger produce whipped cream? The
Whipped Cream Dispensers are not just designed for the purpose of dispensing your whipped cream. When you put the ingredients in the box, it will whip the cream for you. The process is much simpler and less tiring than taking a whisk and whipping cream for an indefinite amount of time. This way, you don’t run the risk of getting skimmed either.

To make whipped cream using the whipped cream charger, simply follow these instructions:

• Remove the dispenser tip from the carrying case.
• Add your ingredients until half full (eg heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, flavoring, etc.)
• Replace the dispenser tip on the cartridge.
• Shake the dispenser and inside the dispenser vigorously
• Place the whipped cream charger in the charger holder (you may need to use two whipped cream chargers depending on the size of your dispenser)
• Screw the charger holder onto the dispenser tip until you hear a hissing sound
• Shake the cartridge and squeeze the handle to dispense the cream (Be sure to rotate the dispenser through a 180 degree angle)

The mechanism behind the process

Now that you know how to whip cream with the feeder and dispenser, you might want to know the mechanism behind the process.

Whipping charger contains nitrous oxide, which is a foaming agent. When the feeder is placed in the holder and screwed onto the dispenser end, a pin will pass through the feeder. A “hissing” sound means gas is being released into the dispenser, where your ingredients are stored. Nitrogen oxide dissolves in the fat component of your ice cream.

The internal pressure increases and when you squeeze the handle to release the cream, the nitrous oxide changes in pressure. This causes bubbles to form and swell the cream, leaving it light and airy. When the valve is opened, the gas helps push the cream out of the cartridge and nozzle, acting as a propellant.

Another important function of nitrous oxide is that it acts as a bacteriostatic agent. This means it protects your cream from contamination or spoilage. When stored in the refrigerator, it can keep for up to two weeks.

Points to remember
The cream you use should be rich in fat and thick. Any other substitute will not hold, so you must use heavy cream or heavy whipping cream. The ideal fat content is between 27 and 36%.
When adding a sweetener of your choice, be aware that you shouldn’t use granulated sugar as it can clog and potentially damage your whisk.
When replacing the dispenser head, take care to seal it properly. Any valve that does not have a gasket or an improperly sealed gasket will cause a gas leak.
After placing the whisk in the refrigerator, you may need to let it warm up a bit before using it. This is because cold temperatures can make nitrous oxide gas inert and ineffective as a propellant. Alternatively, you can try using a different charger.
Whipped cream dispenser can be made of plastic or steel. If the plastic is suitable for household use, regular use or heavy commercial use, it is better to invest in a steel canister.
When shopping for an ice cream maker, be sure to purchase the whisk from a trusted manufacturer. While cartridges can last a long time, some parts may need replacing, such as the pin through the whipped cream feeder.
Cleaning Your
Ice Cream Maker To ensure that any kitchen tool or appliance works properly and lasts longer, you need to clean and maintain it properly. An ice cream maker is no different.

After removing the used ice cream charger, you will need to remove the charger holder and dispenser. Separate the tip from the dispenser by removing the silicone or rubber gasket and pulling it out.

You can wash the dispenser components with soap and water, taking care to remove any cream or sugar residue. It is important that you ensure that each part is completely dry before reassembly for the next use.
