ICO Stainless Steel Whipped Cream Dispensers 500ml/1-Pint, Professional Whipped Cream Maker for Creams and Foams - Cream Whipper Compatible with Cream Chargers

A fantastic product! I have been using this to especially make whipped cream for the best Hot Chocolate drinks.I use full fat double cream (500ml), 2 tablespoons icing sugar and two drops of vanilla essence. I pre mix the ingredients in a jug to ensure that the sugar is completely dissolved before adding to the cream Whipper. After assembly of the Whipper and charging with a gas canister, I have found that between 5 - 12 good shakes are required to give the required consistency. Be careful to not overshake as the resulting cream may become too thick to be ejected from the Whipper. I found by trial and error that it is best to give a good 5 shakes then test. If the cream is not thickened sufficiently, give the canister another two firm shakes and try again. By gently rocking the canister back and forth, you should soon develop a feel for the movement of the contents in order to determine the thickness required.Overall I am delighted with the performance and quality of this product and would highly recommend it to others. Oh, by the way, don’t forget to pop 2 -3 marshmallows in the hot chocolate before adding the cream and finish with a dusting of chocolate for the perfect treat!😀

The media could not be loaded. This has been excellent so far - I bought it for my partner who infuses gin with fruit and spices, and had heard that the process could be done rapidly using a cream whipper. I did a lot of research and this one seemed like it had the best balance of quality and price, and that has certainly been the case so far.All of the parts are incredibly study, made of thick stainless steel and metal - no plastic parts to risk damaging due to high pressure. It's heavier than I expected, but this just makes you feel certain of the safety and sturdiness of the whipper. We've used it with the ICO gas canisters and have been able to infuse a number of wonderful gins!For results, see @mousehousegin on instagram :)

The build quality seems good. If using for hot sauces or soups, it takes a while to get the correct consistency, the liquid needs to be thinner than you'd imagine to aerate properly and you need to control the trigger very carefully as it's way too sensitive. Biggest problem is that if you advertise for hot sauces, it should come with a neoprene or other insulating sleeve else you can't hold it! Wrapping it up in towels and trying to control the trigger just doesn't work.As an aside, it's not quite the same as the picture. The one I received has straight sides not tapered, but that probably makes it easier to find a sleeve so not complaining.

I am really happy with my ICO cream whipper. It feels very sturdy and perfect for cold and hot preparations. I have used it several times now and the results are very good and consistent. The steel construction allows you to heat up your "espumas" for serving, and it is simple to clean. You can find a video in youtube explaining how to do it. It takes less than 5 minutes to have it ready.I left it in the fridge loaded for 3 days and no pressure was lost, which is a great signal of the quality of the product.The nozzles and trigger mechanism is also stainless (only one decorative nozzle is made out of plastic) and they are easy and fun to use.Just remember to buy some gas canisters as none were included with my cream whipper, it would have been a nice detail, but considering the quality and the price, it is a small compromise to make.

We followed the instruction to the letter and the whipper seem to loose the gas almost immediately once the gas chargers was removed and the cap placed in its place . We looked in “you tube” and in some of the demonstrations the gas charger was left in place after charging and while the device was used. We tried this and we managed to get some whip cream out of the device but the gas was completely gone only after a few uses and while there is still plenty of cream inside the whipper. Generally disappointing object27/5/18 I update the review as the manufacturer very professionally sent me another head. The first one was leaking, hence the problems I had . The second one works perfectly and is doing exactly what is supposed to do: whipping cream

Arrived quickly and well packed. Contents in good condition and all present. It looked well made and sturdy. So overall a score of 5 for that.I bought the whipper to experiment with foams. My results were mixed, but that was probably down to me. I tried making a whipped cream and it worked well. No leaks or blockages so as a cream whipper (which it is advertised as) it whips well, so 5 for that too. It would have been nice if they had included some other recipes to try.

I purchased this as a foam gun rather than cream whipper, although understood it had this functionality as well. Initial attempts have failed to get it to work effectively at creating foams. Single charges seem insufficient, even with thin liquids. Would not purchase again.

Used this with single cream no good then double much better going to try whipping cream next, it's good all the bits are metal apart from home nozzle
