Notes

🦺 safety tips

📖 Read the instructions. Make sure to follow the manufacture's instructions of your whipper. I recommend the iSi brand of siphons as I have one and have used that brand for over 10 years, not including my time in culinary school and the restaurant industry. I know it’s tempting to cut costs and buy a cheaper model, but in my opinion, it’s not worth the safety risk.
📏 Know the capacity. Refer to the size of your canister to know the volume. It’s important to NOT overfill your canister with liquid.
  • For a 0.5 L, or 1 pint size, you can fill it with 17 ounces of liquid.
  • For a 0.25 L, or 1/2 pint size, you can fill it with 8.5 ounces of liquid.
  • For a 1 L, or quart size, you can fill it with 34 ounces of liquid.

ℹ️ troubleshooting tips

💦 nail the texture. Whipped cream too liquidy? Try shaking the canister a bit more. You can give your can a quick shake, similar to a cocktail shaker, to mix up the gas and cream mixture. You’ll feel it start to thicken in the can as you do this. Is your whipped cream too clumpy and breaking? You might have shaken it too much.
❄️ chill out. 9 times outta 10, your whipped cream is not cold enough. Pop the canister back in the fridge to chill your mixture for a minimum of 30 minutes, then give it another try.
⛽️ fill ‘er up. If you didn’t fill your canister to the max liquid fill (17 ounces on a pint, 8.5 ounces on a half pint) chances are you have too much empty space in your canister. You can add another canister of N02 to compensate for this.
🫧 release all the gas. Do NOT open the canister while it is charged with N02. Be sure to fully release any extra gas from the canister before attempting to screw the top off. You can do this by setting the canister upright, then squeezing the lever to release any extra gas. Keep pressing until you don’t hear any more hissing of the gas.
