5.0 out of 5 stars Really fun gadget to have in your "bag of tricks", May 12, 2006

This review is from: ISI Brushed Stainless Steel Gourmet Cream Whipper 1 Qt.

A serious foodie that has been perfecting her cooking skills for the last 25 years in her home kitchen writes this review. My favorite cookbooks are "The Professional Chef" by the Culinary Institute of America and "Culinary Artistry". If you love to cook and entertain, this is a great item to have in your arsenal, I love mine.

After I read the book "Amuse Bouche" I knew that I needed one of these little gadgets to add to my collection. When I received this I was pleasantly surprised to find that it had more applications than I knew about.

You can use this device to make an espuma, gourmet sauces or flavored cream in a flash. An espuma is a foam prepared from a puree, coulis, cream, or juice. If you are trying to cut back on the fat this tool can be a big help. I like the Pineapple Espuma that is pineapple juice thickened with gelatin and a little powdered sugar. It makes a nice light treat that I use as a bed for mango chunks. Now fruit for dessert doesn't seem so much like deprivation.

You can also take a warm strained sauce and foam that. The booklet that comes with the device has recipes for a Curry Sauce and for Hollandaise. Any strained sauce would work. To keep the sauce warm you place the whipper in a 165-degree bain-marie.

If you want a decadent treat to top your coffee try this one. Heavy cream, a little powdered sugar and some caramel syrup. We did this one night and everyone raved.

For really fluffy chocolate mousse put the prepared mousse in this and see what happens. You get the fluffiest chocolate mousse you have ever put in your mouth.

If you are trying to reduce the additives and preservatives that your family consumes this makes a wonderful plain whipped cream. My husband likes it when I add cocoa powder and make him chocolate whipped cream.

If you are one of those people that love a good kitchen gadget give this one a try. I have really enjoyed playing with it. Just by adding a little "gas" to my cooking suddenly everyone thinks that I am a culinary genius.

This review is from: ISI Brushed Stainless Steel Gourmet Cream Whipper 1 Qt.

Well, I'm not a pro but I know quality when I feel its weighty heft in my hand. This guy is such a marked step up from any of the consumer grade models I've used it was almost confusing. Have you ever driven a POS car for a long time then gotten behind the wheel of a really nice German sedan for the first time and it's so precise and responsive you're a worse driver (at first)? This would be a 4.5 star review if such things were possible. The half-star costing dings were these:

- for being billed as insulated and suitable for hot or cold applications I found the exterior could get very hot or cold to the touch. Not dangerously so as some cheaper models I've used but I expected a greater level of insulation from the temperature of the contents.

- The screw off piece that holds the NO2 cartridge is threaded a little roughly and can be tough to smoothly take on and off. In fact, you have to crank it so hard that it often loosens the neck of the main canister itself. I'm hopeful the threads will wear a bit over time and this removal process will become smoother. If it doesn't I may try a lubricant like WD-40 on it.

Other than that this puppy is truly the Lamborghini of its kind. Great capacity, amazingly precise and incremental control, wonderful capacity and solidity of workmanship with excellent touches like a textured rubber fit around the cartridge holder (not pictured). And the east of dis-assembly and dishwasher cleaning is truly awesome.
