A cream charger is a small, disposable metal canister filled with nitrous oxide gas. It works in conjunction with a whipped cream dispenser to create the airy, whipped texture we know and love. Here's the process:
- Pressurization: The cream charger is inserted into the top of the whipped cream dispenser. This punctures the charger, releasing nitrous oxide gas into the dispenser.
- Gas Infusion: The nitrous oxide gas pressurizes the cream inside the dispenser.
- Expansion: The pressurized gas causes the cream to expand. Tiny gas bubbles form within the cream, creating the characteristic whipped texture.
