INTRODUCTION

Your Gourmet Hot or Cold Whipper is a versatile kitchen tool that can be used for hot and cold cuisine. When used hot, it can make rich and creamy espuma (foam) for gourmet-style side dishes such as whipped potatoes and corn foam. When used cold, it

is ideal for whipped cream, whipped chocolate, yogurt espuma, frosting, pastry crème, fruit foam and other dessert toppings.

3. Assemble the Head [FIG. 2]

Locate the large gasket that sits between the head and the canister. Place the gasket inside the head and screw head onto canister evenly and firmly. The head is in place correctly when no thread is visible. Do not cross-thread. If you cannot find the threading, remove the head and try again.

4. Insert a Charger [FIG. 3]

Insert one 8-gram Nitrous Oxide (N2O) charger into the charger holder. Use only a new, high-quality whipped cream charger. (Do not use a CO2 charger meant for a soda machine.)

5. Charge the Canister [FIG. 4]

Screw the charger holder onto the inlet valve until the charger content is fully released with a hissing sound. Use 1 charger for each recipe unless otherwise specified. Never use more than 2 chargers at one time in this device.

6. Shake the Canister

Shake the Whipper briskly 4 to 5 times in a vertical direction. (When using well cooled light cream or other mixture, shake up to 10 times.) Then unscrew the charger holder. The light hissing sound while unscrewing is normal. Remove and recycle the empty steel charger according to local regulations.
