8-gram Whipped Cream Chargers or Nitrous Oxide Cartridges
When at a bakery or a high-end restaurant, it might happen to you that you see the baker or chef using a cream dispenser to make whipped cream or to top any dessert. Immediately afterward, you wonder how he can make whipped cream with this bottle. Well, the baker probably used an N2O cartridge.
Cartridges, whippits, or whippets are either stainless steel or aluminum containers of 8-gram containing nitrous oxide under pressure. N2O, in this state, acts as a whipping agent to whipped cream or any other mix once introduced in a cream siphon.
Regarding their features, the 8-gram cream chargers are the easiest-to-get available version offline and online. It is also the smallest size in the market.
You can buy N2O cartridges online in multi-unit packs, in boxes of 10, 24, or 50 pieces.
How to Use an 8-gram N2O Cartridge
Before placing your cartridge in the cream siphon, prepare your heavy cream (with a butterfat content of a minimum of 35%) and pour the final mix into the dispenser. If this is ready, insert one charger in the charge holder of your cream siphon and screw it back onto the dispenser. Screw till you hear you have pierced the canister, and the gas is coming out.
Once the gas sits in the mixture, shake the siphon gently and place it upside down toward the plate you want to top. The result should be a lovely and steady cloud of whipped cream!
