Whip cream chargers are small canisters filled with nitrous oxide (N2O) gas that are used to make whipped cream and other culinary foams. They are commonly found in professional kitchens, but are also increasingly popular in a domestic setting where people want to emulate the pros and create their own gastronomic delights at home. The use of a whip cream charger is an efficient way to quickly add a creamy texture to food and drinks, and can give dishes and beverages a unique flavour and texture that cannot be achieved with other methods.
