I have a isi mini (love it) and have used about 3 times. Last night I was surprised to see black all around the the top and gasket when I removed to clean. The cream had been in the container only for a few days in the fridge. Would these be mould or some kind of reaction with the charger? I did not see this before and am concerned. Thanks in advance.
When making parmesan espuma, is it ok to forego using the sieve if you don't mind a bit of texture in the espuma, or will it clog the dispenser? Also, this video is very helpful! The instructions that came with the product are not clear about using two cannisters.
Dear Carolyn, we recommend to use the funnel & sieve with every recipe, because you're totally right: even the smallest kernels can block the dispenser mechanics :) And thank you very much for your feedback!

Hi. I have just purchased one of these and I am looking forward to using it. Can you use nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide cannisters with the gourmet whip?
For sure But the N02 is more for whipping creams... because it will not salted them, it has a neutral taste. CO2, is quiet salty (think at carbonated water) C02 is more for drinks.
Everytime you put a charge in and twist it in, do you need to shake the canister? I’m attempting to charge it 3 times with 3 chargers. Do I shake it after every charge I screw in to activate it more each time?
Dear Philip. yes, please shake the whip each time, after you've screwed in a charger, to mix the mass with the filled in gas. But a little tip from our experts: For 0.5 L and 0.25 L Food Whipper always use 1 charger, for 1 L Whip always 2 chargers! If you use more chargers than recommended it will not have an effect. Our built-in pressure relief valve will ensure that the excess gas escapes! This means, you'll never need 3 chargers :) If you have any other question, please let us know!
Dear Ahmad, this depends on different factors like the fat-rate. You'll find a list of our Distributors on our website: www.isi.com/en/culinary/meta/about-isi/contact-isi-sales-partners-worldwide/ They will be able to help you to find a shop near your hometown!
Hi Grant, you can keep it warm at ~70°C for about 4 hours. Just store the Whip in a baine-marie or a warm water bath. But please use our heat protection cover, the whips are getting quite hot ;)
Dear Giorgos, the amount of chargers you have to use depends on the size of the Whip only. This means: Always use 2 Chargers when using a 1 L Whip and 1 Charger, if you use a 0,5 L Whip, no matter, how much cream you've filled in!
Dear Andy, the video is correct: When you're using a 1L Gourmet Whip You'll need 2 iSi Professional Chargers. If you use a 0.5L or a 0,25L Whip, 1 charger is enough!
Hi Sonia, it is totally safe to use old iSi Chargers when you're using the original iSi System according to the manual. In fact, the charges should not be disposed into the scrap metal as long as they are filled. But 20 years is a long time and our system has changed a lot during the last 5 - 10 years. Therefore please write an email directly to our customer service, I'm sure they can help you with that: info@isi.com Best Regards
You can ! But I'd recommend light syrup, its just a great thing to sweeten up things in different variations! We found that the favorite syrup brand is Monin www.monin.com/us/
For what to come out? I have trouble getting the charger to dispense and hear that wishing sound. I have to tighten it a lot and it usually takes two or three tries. 😠
@laurastroebel4774 - better add sweet sirup or fresh vanilla powder instead of sugar. It will work with sugar, but imagine you'd put sugar in the engine of you car. It will minimize the performance.
You should ensure that the iSi Whipper and the cream are well chilled. It is advisable to briefly pre-chill your iSi Whipper in the refrigerator and to make 100 % sure that you do not use a whipper that is still warm from being washed. UHT cream should be stored in the refrigerator for 24 hours before being used in your whipper.
I keep the cream and whipper in the fridge for a few hours, then charge it, shake, then put it back in the fridge for two hours. Shake again before using. Longer might be better but I haven't noticed a significant difference. If you can make it a day ahead of time, it isn't a bad idea.
Hi Joel, no you can not underfill the Gourmet Whip. But it is important to use the right number of chargers - always use 1 iSi Charger for a 0.5L bottle and 2 Chargers for a 1L bottle, no matter if you have filled it with 100 ml, 300 ml or 500 ml :) I hope, we were able to help you, if you have any other question, please feel free to ask!

iSi Culinary thank you for the response. It hasn't happened again so perhaps just a fluke. Cheers!
@@JenuineAirbrushTan You're very welcome :)
How is it the empty charger isn't freezing cold? Mine is.
How will plain "heavy cream" compare to "heavy whipping cream" in the final product?
That depends very much on the product. It might be that there is no difference at all if they have the same ingredients.
Make sure it has at least 36% fat content.

Mine shoots out like a cannon! What did I do wrong? Only used one charger.
Hi. With one capsule how many times we can make heavy cream? Also where we can buy the capsules?

If you put emulsion sauce like hollandaise, what temperature can I hold it for?
Hi Grant, you can keep it warm at ~70°C for about 4 hours. Just store the Whip in a baine-marie or a warm water bath. But please use our heat protection cover, the whips are getting quite hot ;)
If I have a 1lt canister but I want 500gr of cream or less, can I use 1 capsule?
Dear Giorgos, the amount of chargers you have to use depends on the size of the Whip only. This means: Always use 2 Chargers when using a 1 L Whip and 1 Charger, if you use a 0,5 L Whip, no matter, how much cream you've filled in!
Hi, can you please tell me how can I make a foam using hazelnut paste but no cream or ther dairy?
Maybe sieve the hazelnut paste to get all lumps out.
i am confused. This video says to use 2 chargers for a 1L container, but the instruction manual says to not use more than recommended on the box.
Dear Andy, the video is correct: When you're using a 1L Gourmet Whip You'll need 2 iSi Professional Chargers. If you use a 0.5L or a 0,25L Whip, 1 charger is enough!
What should I do if it’s leaking out the no2 charger holder and not going inside? Then cream leaks out the place where the charger goes?
I would email their customer service for a repair. The seal/mechanism inside is broken.
I found a box of unused chargers that's 20yrs old, will it still be safe to use?
Hi Sonia, it is totally safe to use old iSi Chargers when you're using the original iSi System according to the manual.

how many times can i use the charger? and how to recycle it?
Hi Brenda! You can use each charger only once. They are fully recycleable if you put them into scrap metal.
Could you use maple syrup or a espresso vinegar in these?
You can ! But I'd recommend light syrup, its just a great thing to sweeten up things in different variations! We found that the favorite syrup brand is Monin www.monin.com/us/
I have just bought one of these and it doesn't work properly at first, it takes ages for it 2 come out.
For what to come out? I have trouble getting the charger to dispense and hear that wishing sound. I have to tighten it a lot and it usually takes two or three tries. 😠
Can I add sugar to the whipping cream for a sweeter taste?
@laurastroebel4774 - better add sweet sirup or fresh vanilla powder instead of sugar. It will work with sugar, but imagine you'd put sugar in the engine of you car. It will minimize the performance.
For classic whipped cream with heavy cream, is this an instant process or do you have to refrigerate for a while?
You should ensure that the iSi Whipper and the cream are well chilled. It is advisable to briefly pre-chill your iSi Whipper in the refrigerator and to make 100 % sure that you do not use a whipper that is still warm from being washed. UHT cream should be stored in the refrigerator for 24 hours before being used in your whipper.

Use cold cream and shake it up after charging. You will be able to use it immediately.
