Using Nitrous Oxide Safely
Using nitrous oxide (N2O) for whipped cream can be a safe and effective method if the proper precautions are taken. Here are some guidelines for using N2O safely for whipped cream:- Use a whipped cream dispenser: Only use N2O chargers with a whipped cream dispenser that is specifically designed for this purpose. Do not attempt to use N2O chargers without a dispenser.
- Follow the instructions: Always read and follow the instructions provided with your whipped cream dispenser and N2O chargers.
- Use the correct amount of N2O: Do not overfill your whipped cream dispenser with N2O chargers. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the proper amount of chargers needed.
- Keep the dispenser upright: Always keep your whipped cream dispenser upright while using it. Do not tilt it or turn it upside down.
- Do not inhale the gas: Do not inhale the gas from the whipped cream dispenser. Nitrous oxide can be dangerous if inhaled directly from the charger.
- Store properly: Store your N2O chargers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
By following these guidelines, you can safely use nitrous oxide for whipped cream without risking harm to yourself or others. It's important to use N2O chargers responsibly and always prioritise safety when using them.
Always follow guidance from the manufacturers website.
