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!😀

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.

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 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.

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.

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 object 27/5/18 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

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

Arrivato nei tempi previsti, buon imballo, prodotto ottimo

I have had this dispenser for 5 years now, and it’s one of the best purchases I’ve made. We use it constantly to keep whipped cream on hand for desserts, berries, coffee, etc. I tried other dispensers, but the threading wore down, plastic parts broke, or it couldn’t go in the dishwasher. This ICO dispenser is in the same shape as the day I bought it, and I’m very happy with it. It’s so easy to use: prepare your whipped cream (sweeten, add vanilla or other flavouring), pour into the chilled dispenser, put the lid on, add gas, shake & you’re ready to go. A few tips: After each use, take the entire lid apart and clean all parts really well (a pipe brush is provided), otherwise it will get moldy. The dispenser and most steel parts can go in the dishwasher, but not the silicone seals; I’ve found whipped cream stays firmer & fresher if I use one N2O cartridge per cup of whipped cream; Rinsing the decorator tip with warm water before returning to the fridge will prevent it from getting clogged with dried whipped cream. 5 stars!

Todo de acero inoxidable, salvo las boquillas. Compré éste después de tener que devolver otro que tenía el tapón donde van las recargas de plástico, y que cascó al segundo uso. Este es de acero y está claro que no se va a romper. El anterior era de 35 euros y este de 53, merece la pena sin duda el salto de calidad. Desde luego se justifica que sea algo más caro. No sé cómo será el iSi, que es casi el doble de caro que éste, pero no creo que en ese caso merezca la pena el sobrecoste. Si estás en duda de uno de acero frente a uno de plástico (el cargador al menos), no lo dudes, el de acero, el otro se te va a romper seguro.Ten en cuenta que cuando metes la carga tienes que apretar rápido para que no se vaya el aire, por lo que en el de plástico si andas con cuidado o más despacio/suave para que no se rompa, entonces se te escapará más aire

These are great! I think I have purchased 9 at this point. They work amazingly well! It's very easy to clean nozzle with the included scrub brush (and bottle brush for the canister). I prefer the all stainless steel because I use food coloring in some of my whipped creams. With the non stainless steel version, the canister was fully lined and I haven't noticed any staining of the plastic nozzles. I had previously purchased a smaller whipped cream canister from Sur La Table and I find this much easier to use. The trigger style handle is more ergonomically friendly and gives better control than the button on the product I purchased from Sur La Table. Great design; great quality.

J'avais acheté le même en 1 litre mais il fallait 2 capsules de gaz. Celui-ci est très pratique pour les recettes en petite quantité. On sent que c'est de la très bonne qualité quand on le manipule. Il y a 3 embouts et non 2 prévus au descriptif (2 aciers droits et un plastique décoration). Par contre la brosse nettoyante est trop grosse pour être introduite dans le piston de la tête donc impossible de l'utiliser (je prend celle de mon vieux siphon de 1 litre qui est beaucoup plus mince).
