Effects and Uses of N2O
As you may already know, there are multiple ways out there to use nitrous oxide. In this blog we will address the different Effects and Uses of N2O.
In the restaurant and catering industry, chefs and kitchen staff utilize food-grade nitrous oxide as an aerosol propellant to create foams, appetizers, sauces, and whipped cream for various dishes and drinks.

Beyond its applications in the culinary world and recreational use, nitrous oxide also serves as an effective sedative. When combined with oxygen, it helps reduce anxiety in patients. Due to its high tolerance levels, it is considered a safe sedative for use in dentistry and medicine in general.
Cooking with high-level nitrous oxide
Nitrous oxide is primarily used in the kitchen for preparing various dishes using different techniques, such as those found in molecular gastronomy. Additionally, it serves as a powerful bacteria neutralizer, helping to inhibit bacterial growth for an extended period. Interestingly, nitrous oxide is also used to fill the extra space in chip bags, helping to keep them fresh.
Nitrous oxide at the dentist
Nitrous oxide is a gas that, once inhaled, can produce pleasant sensations of well-being and mild euphoria, hallucinations between times, and, in some people, an analgesic and sedative action. When you have a painful procedure at the dentist, he will probably offer you this option.
The result right after his use is a more pleasant feeling during the treatment.
Nitrous oxide in cars
Nitrous oxide for car racing is essentially an accelerator of the combustion process, in other words, a supercharging system that offers extra vehicle power. Nevertheless, not all cars can operate with a nitrous oxide system.
Nitrous oxide systems are not legal in Spain. It is permitted to drive vehicles that incorporate them (if an authority has it approved) but going with the system activated is not allowed.
Effects of use
When used in a recreational setting, nitrous oxide or N2O (molecular formula) produces specific effects: instantaneous or long-term. The duration of these effects varies from person to person and depends on the amount of gas inhaled and the user’s size, weight, and health.
The following are the instantaneous effects: (can last between 2 to 5 minutes)
- Feelings of euphoria, calm relaxation
- Numbness of the body (when inhaled, nitrous oxide acts as a central nervous system depressant)
- Tingling in hands and feet
- Blurred vision

- Sweating
- Introspection
At last, besides giving you a temporary good feeling during a painful treatment, it also has disadvantages. These are:
- Dizziness
