How long does cream keep in my iSi Whipper?
Regardless of how unbelievably amazing freshly whipped cream may taste, leftovers in your iSi Whipper can’t always be avoided. That's why we’ve decided to clear up the most common questions: How long does the cream inside your whipper keep? Can you still use it a couple of days later? And do you need to shake your whipper again before using it?
In general, cream will keep very well once inside the whipper, as the air-tight closing mechanism effectively keeps germs and bacteria at bay. If you store your whipper correctly, cream leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 10 days – without the need for added preservatives! Even if your iSi Whipper has been sitting in your fridge for several days, you should not shake it again before using it. Because once you’ve achieved the perfect consistency, it will stay that way – no extra action needed. Caution: Taking the head off the iSi bottle just once can seriously impact storability, as the gas will escape from the bottle, while oxygen finds its way inside.
Good to know: Factors that affect storability
Cool storage
To make sure that the cream stays fresh, you should always keep your iSi Whipper in the fridge. The ideal temperature is about 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Be careful not to leave your whipper out on the table or exposed to direct sunlight when you’re done preparing and serving your treats.
Freshness of the cream
If the cream has already expired by the time you fill your whipper, even the most advanced technology and clever features won’t be able to save it. Make sure to always use fresh, properly chilled cream. UHT cream should be put in the fridge at least 24 hours prior to use.
Regular maintenance & cleaning
To ensure the best possible storage conditions, you should thoroughly clean your whipper after every single use. Also use the cleaning brush to remove small particles from the valves and tips. This will help maintain the quality of both the cream and whipper over time.
How can I tell whether the cream is still fresh?
Ideally, you should use up all the cream within the first couple of days after filling your whipper – after all, who can really resist freshly whipped, fluffy cream? After more than a week, we recommend a quick quality check. Watch out for the following:
