    I’ve never made whipped cream using any compressed gas. Is it a preference thing for whipped cream made using gas?

      I have a reusable canister that takes nitrous charges. Dump 16oz of heavy cream, simple syrup, and flavor into a chilled canister; seal, charge, and shake. Now you have easy to dispense whipped cream. Nitrogen gas adds a bit of sweetness to food (like Guiness or nitro iced coffee), whereas carbon dioxide adds a bit of bite (like in most sodas).

      It tastes a bit sweeter and looks better, really. You can also use the charger to froth cold soups or to make foamy suspensions.

      It’s a better alternative to prepackaged whipped cream, in my mind. It also doesn’t contain sweeteners (unless you put them in, of course) which is a benefit.
