When talking about whipped cream dispensers the first thing that comes into mind usually isn’t liquor, but now it can
be! Check out this fantastic article by cookingissues.com, infusing flavors into liquor using a whipped cream dispenser. The technique is so easy, and after tasting I can confirm – Good! You can use herbs, fruits, spices and even cacao nibs! (we sell those) chocolate infused liquor was fabulous, you can purchase them from International-Organics.com. It’s fun and it’s easy, start experimenting! Take a look at the article here:
Infusing Flavors into Liquor
Filtering CO2 and N2O gas.
If you haven’t heard of it already and or purchased one, there is a this very neat gadget that we have had great success
with, that will filter out any impurities in your gas, keeping your whipped cream fresher, and cleaner, especially if you are using low end gas from China, which we don’t recommend. The NitroKit is really easy to use, and can be taken off of your whipper at anytime, and after you have used it to dispense the N20.
The NitroKit filtering system will also add to the life of your piercing pin on the head of you whipper. As you will not be directly impacting it, but allowing the pin of the NitroKit to take the impact of the pressure, keeping the head piercing pin un-impacted. Since they do not sell parts for the piercing pin and if the piercing pin goes you will have to buy an entire new head for your whipper which can be costly. The NitroKit works with any 8 gram chargers – it comes in white and black. You can buy it from Creamright.com and also Whipcreamexpress.com

The Green Solution.
Soda Siphons are an “Active Green” product, meaning that consumers are actively reducing their CO2 footprint every 
time they make soda or sparkling water at home instead of buying it from the store. The more the system is used on a daily basis, the more CO2 footprint the user actively saves.
Because soda siphons use water straight from the tap, it makes traditional store bought beverage bottles obsolete. That means less plastic manufactured, less plastic waste is created, and fewer bottled beverages must be transported from manufacturers to distributors to stores to homes. Globally, 206 billion liters of bottled water were consumed in 2008 (Zenith International Global Bottled Water Report, 2008). The energy required to make water bottles in the US only, is equivalent to 17 million barrels of oil (Container Recycling Institute, 2002).
According to the US Recycling Institute, more than 80% of bottles in the US do not get recycled and end up in landfills. 
Also, an estimated 4.7 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions were produced in the process of replacing the 134 billion bottles and cans not recycled in 2005.
Water bottles play a huge role in American culture, but they shouldn’t. We have the opportunity to offset the environmental damage numbers such as these bring. Unlike the tragedy in the gulf, we can do something about this! Soda siphons are a great solution and the flavors are endless! with an endless amount of syrups, your mixture is your own.
A Vegan Approach
Vegan Whipped Cream
Yield: 2 cups
2 14-oz can coconut milk (*Thai Kitchen® coconut milk, unsweetened)
1/2 cup powdered sugar (or to taste)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract( or to taste)
1) Place coconut milk in refrigerator overnight, right-side up. Do not shake.
2) Remove coconut milk and pierce bottom of can with a pointed can opener and drain off the liquid part.
3) Open top of coconut milk can and spoon the thick coconut cream into canister.
4) Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract into canister.
5) put the head on the canister and shake the ingredients well.
6) dispense N20 cartridge into canister.
*Thai Kitchen® brand seems to have the most usable amount of solid coconut cream needed for this recipe.
If you find that your end result is not firm enough, use the seaweed based thickener called agar agar (make sure its in powder form as anything thicker will cause the dispenser to clog) .
July is National Ice Cream Month!
July is national Ice Cream Month, that means its completely fine to eat as much ice cream as you want without feeling 
guilty (at least that’s what I’m telling myself!). According to Ice-Cream-Recipes.com , former President Ronald Reagan proclaimed the special month back in 1984. Because ice cream is consumed by more people in the United States than in any other country in the world, the third Sunday of the month – this year, July 18, 2010 – has been dubbed National Ice Cream Day.
The International Diary Food Association reports that Reagan recognized ice cream as a fun and nutritious food that is enjoyed by 90 percent of the country’s population. He urged Americans to celebrate the events with “appropriate ceremonies and activities,” including making their own ice cream.
There is a fantastic article by David Lebovitz about making ice cream without a machine, you can check it out here.

Brand Recognition
There’s been a lot of questions recently about brands, where they come from? What’s the difference? What should I buy?
It can become very convoluted in the world of whats good and whats bad in nitrous oxide. Hopefully this will be a tool of basic brand comparison, and why it matters.
If you haven’t realized yet, nitrous oxide can make or break your whipped cream. When it comes to taste and texture, the brand you choose matters. There are two major markets of where N20 cartridges come from - Europe and China(Taiwan). China has emerged as the largest, among with the Hungarian Company (Liss) and ISI in Austria.
Most nitrous oxide brands you find on the market come from China, why? Because it’s cheap. But as the old saying goes “you get what you pay for” and the saying is more then true when it comes to nitrous oxide. It is highly recommended 
that you stay with chargers made in Europe as cleanliness standards are proven much better than other countries. There is no agency testing the quality and cleanliness of these chargers. You need only look at the recent rash of recalls on many other products made in China. With the proliferation of cheap, self-regulated imports, it is important to ask questions! Call your supplier and ask where the brands are coming from! Mostly beware of companies who “hide” where the product is being produced and are not upfront about where it is coming from. If you notice, many brands will not mention where the product is produced but rather state “best and the cleanest N2O chargers on the market” It’s important to ask questions. Not only are you being ripped off when you purchase cheap nitrous oxide but, so is your whipped cream, as you will notice the difference.
Gas coming out of Europe is widely known as the premiere gas on the market, with the highest ratings. Most importantly
most highly sought after in the culinary community. Why? Because its the Purest available, leaving no after taste or residue, nitrous oxide coming out of Europe is always trusted, and is the cleanest available on the market. Coming from the main factory in Vienna, brands like ISI and Ultra Purewhip , you can always guarantee never duds and absolutely no aftertaste. The EU has the strictest standards, among producing countries with there enforceable legal requirement that assure purity for ingestion. You will notice the difference.
Many times people look over the nitrous oxide they buy, but not only is it important for your health but also for your end product.
