I just bought a 500 ml whipper (Mosa), which is designed to take up to 500 ml whipping cream and a single NO2 cartridge. I'm not sure I want that much whipped cream available to my family at all times; too tempting! Will the whipper work just as effectively with 250 ml (1 cup) of whipping cream or should I consider getting a smaller whipper designed for 250 ml maximum?

  • According to my experience (other brand, same principle), it will work fine. But be prepared for a big "szplshhhhh" at the end when the cream is gone but some pressure is left. Sometimes a second gas cartridge can be neccessary if too little pressure is generated by a single one due to more empty space.

  • Thanks! I'm curious if that's other people's experience too. Jun 20, 2015 at 18:14
  • I guess it depends on what you mean by "quality". I've used my 500ml, half full, plenty of times. If you like a stiffer cream, you might need to give it two charges. Make sure you turn over the whipper and shake the cream to the dispensing end before dispensing.

I've done it lots of times and never needed a second cartridge. It helps to shake the unit while the gas is going in, to distribute it better, and to use very fine sugar.
