Cream chargers, often referred to as nitrous oxide (N₂O) chargers, have become an essential tool for culinary professionals and home chefs alike. These small, steel cylinders are filled with high-purity food-grade nitrous oxide and are primarily used in conjunction with whipped cream dispensers. However, their applications go beyond just whipping cream—they are a gateway to gourmet innovation, molecular gastronomy, and modern beverage crafting.

What Are Cream Chargers?

Cream chargers are pressurised cartridges that contain 8 grams of nitrous oxide. They are sealed at the narrow end with a foil covering, which is pierced when inserted into a compatible whipped cream dispenser. The pressurised gas is released into the dispenser, rapidly whipping the cream and creating a light, airy texture.

Nitrous oxide not only whips the cream quickly but also acts as a preservative, allowing the whipped cream to maintain its texture and freshness for several days when stored properly in the refrigerator.
