What Is a Whippet Canister?

A whippet canister is a small, pressurized cartridge filled with N2O (nitrous oxide). Paired with a whipped cream dispenser, it produces stable, airy, delicious whipped cream. Inside the dispenser, gas meets cream and forms micro-bubbles that turn liquid into fluffy foam—like kitchen magic in a nozzle.

Fun fact: “Whippet” is a common nickname for these cartridges. Professional brands like Gazmi offer food-grade versions for reliable culinary use.

How It Works

  1. Fill the dispenser with cream (dairy or plant-based).
  2. Attach a whippet canister charged with N2O.
  3. The gas dissolves into the fat phase under pressure.
  4. Press the lever, the pressure drops, bubbles form—hello, whipped cream.
It’s science meeting dessert.

Pro Tips for Using a Whippet Canister

Chill everything
Cold cream + cold dispenser = maximum stability and volume.
Leave headspace
Don’t overfill; the gas needs room to expand and dissolve.
Gentle shake
After charging, shake lightly—no need to overdo it.
Storage: Keep the dispenser upright in the fridge when you want the whip to last longer.
