How To Use Cream Chargers

The steps to make the wipped cream

1. Prepare Your Ingredients:

   - Get heavy whipping cream with at least 36% fat content.

   - Chill the cream in the refrigerator for a few hours before use.

2. Chill Your Equipment:

   - Place your whipper (the canister you'll be using to whip the cream) and the cream charger in the freezer for about 15 minutes before use.

3. Assemble the Whipper:

   - Screw the cap with the nozzle onto the whipper.

4. Load the Cream:

   - Pour the cold cream into the whipper, leaving enough space for the charger. Typically, you should fill the whipper about 1/3 to 1/2 full.

5. Insert the Cream Charger:

   - Take the chilled cream charger and insert it into the top of the whipper. It should click into place.

6. Charge the Whipper:

   - Crack the charger by breaking the seal inside the charger cap. Be sure to keep the cap on the whipper while doing this.

7. Shake the Whipper:

   - Hold the whipper upright and shake it vigorously for about 10-15 seconds to mix the nitrogen with the cream.

8. Dispense the Whipped Cream:

   - Once the cream is charged, you can dispense the whipped cream by pressing the nozzle. Start slow to get a feel for the pressure.

9. Control the Texture:

   - The whipped cream will be ready quickly. Stop when it reaches your desired consistency to avoid over-whipping.

10. Store Leftovers:

    - If you have any leftover whipped cream, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

11. Clean Up:

    - After use, release the pressure from the whipper by removing the charger and nozzle, and clean the parts as per the manufacturer's instructions.

12. Dispose of Chargers Properly:

    - Used chargers should not be punctured or thrown in regular trash. They are typically recyclable.

How do you know when the whipped cream is charged?

1.Listen for the Hissing Sound: When you attach the charger holder to the whipped cream dispenser and hear a hissing sound, this indicates that the gas from the charger is being released into the dispenser.

How do you save whipped cream?

To save whipped cream, store it in an airtight container with plastic wrap on top to prevent a skin from forming. Keep it in the refrigerator at 2°C-4°C for up to 3-5 days. For longer storage, freeze it, but expect some texture change upon thawing. When thawing, let it defrost in the fridge overnight. Re-whisk if needed to regain fluffiness. Always store whipped cream away from strong odors.
