Whipped cream - delicious and beautiful decor for coffee , cakes and various confectionery. To obtain such cream, a special device is used, which is called a siphon, dispenser or creamer. They are different - some are focused on home use, others are designed for professional and semi-professional use. Let's take a closer look at these species.
Siphon for whipped cream - features of choice
The main criterion for choosing between creamer models - a siphon for cream - is their purpose. On this basis distinguish such varieties:
- Siphon for home use, designed for whipping cream and mousses. They are characterized by a relatively low cost. The functionality of this siphon is small - with it you can whip the cream, cook a simple mousse or espuma. Some models allow you to gasify the water - for this purpose, in addition to a whipping cream siphon, you will also need a CO2 cartridge. However, the home creamer is not suitable for cooking hot dishes of molecular cuisine, as well as for frequent use. The vessel and head of such siphons are usually made of plastic or aluminum. The most popular models are 0.5 liter.
- Siphon for cream semi-professional model has the same functions, but it is more durable with regular use. Its body is made of stainless steel, and the head and exhaust valve, as a rule, are aluminum. From the minuses of such siphons we note the impossibility of cooking hot products, similar to home models.
- In professional siphons, all components are made of stainless steel, including the feed lever, protective cap and cartridge cartridge. Such creams are suitable for preparing various dishes of molecular cuisine thanks to rubberized heads and gaskets made of heat-resistant silicone. The dimensions of the professional siphon are small with a relatively large weight, and the price is significantly higher than the two previous types. Professionals, as a rule, use siphons with a capacity of 1-2 liters.
The most popular among buyers are siphons of such brands as "O! Range", "MOSA", "Gourmet", "Kayser" and others.
