FAQs
What is a Mr Whip Nitrous Oxide Cylinder?
Mr Whip nitrous oxide cylinder is a pressurized canister filled with nitrous oxide (N₂O), designed for culinary use. When connected to a cream dispenser or via the Mr Whip Rapid Infusion Machine — the gas is released to rapidly pressurize the contents. This process transforms liquids into light, airy textures or infuses them quickly with intense flavours.
Our large 640g canisters are ideal for professional and high-volume use, offering efficient and consistent results across a range of applications. From whipping cream for desserts, to creating smooth culinary foams and espumas, to rapidly infusing alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, oils, or vinegars — these chargers help chefs, bartenders, and mixologists push creative boundaries with ease.
How do I use a Mr Whip Nitrous Oxide Cylinder?
Using with a dispenser
To use your Mr Whip nitrous oxide cylinder with a cream dispenser, start by securely connecting the cylinder to the dispenser using a pressure regulator. Make sure the connection is tight to prevent any leaks. Next, unscrew the lid of the dispenser and fill it with your desired liquid, making sure not to exceed the indicated fill line, then reseal the lid firmly.
Once the dispenser is prepared, slowly open the pressure regulator valve. Adjust it carefully until the gauge reaches 20 bar, then close the valve to lock in the pressure. After this, open the filling hose valve to begin releasing the nitrous oxide into the dispenser. Allow the gas to flow for around 30 seconds, or until you notice the sound inside the dispenser start to fade. When the flow slows down, close the filling hose valve.
You can now disconnect the hose from the dispenser. Shake the dispenser gently for a few seconds to ensure the contents are properly mixed. Finally, point the nozzle of the dispenser towards your glass or dish and press the trigger to release the whipped or infused contents.
Using with a Mr Whip Rapid Infusion Machine
To infuse flavors using the Mr Whip Rapid Infusion Machine, start by securely attaching the Mr Whip nitrous oxide cylinder to the machine. Add your chosen liquid, such as a spirit or beverage, along with your flavoring ingredients — ensuring that no solid or large particles are included. Once everything is inside, seal the machine tightly and activate it to begin the infusion process. After the infusion is complete, carefully vent the pressure, strain out any remaining solids, and enjoy your freshly infused liquid.

Will any brand of nitrous oxide cylinder fit into any brand of dispenser or infusion machine?
In almost all cases the answer is yes. This is based on the fact that most brands use the same size threads on all culinary nitrous oxide cylinders.
