sweet burrata filled with strawberry mousse
hi tim.very well but i have a sirious guestion.i have silver gelatin 160 bloom 2,5gramms.how to corvesion for 170 bloom;
You can use this formula to convert:
weight of the known gelatin x square root (known gelatin bloom/unknown gelatin bloom) = weight of unknown gelatin
So, in this case:
2.5 grams of 170 bloom gelatin x Sqrt (170 bloom / 160 bloom) =
2.5 grams of 170 bloom gelatin x 1.0308 = 2.58 grams of 160 bloom gelatin
As you can see, 160 and 170 are so close in Bloom strength that you could use either and the result will nearly be identical.
ok chris thank you.so the view is the same.thanks
Tim.
What's the principle of release the gas of the siphon with a liquid inside?.
Saludos,

I would think it is to purge the syphon, pushing any O2 in the container out and replacing it with the N2O or CO2
Any idea how much PSI a canister adds to the container? I have a CO2 tank with a regulator that I use for carbing and dispensing my homebrewed beer.
Hi, I would like to thank you so much for this wonderful class and keeping all the good work here. I have a question...is it possible to charge my 0,5l siphon with more than one cartridge, or do I have to follow the safety rule on my siphon and better not to do that? It's maybe a stupid question, but it's a little bit confusing, because you use 1l siphons only.
HI, i try to make the pastry cream in Modernest Cuisine Home book, did i need to sieve the cream before add butter, and i use Siphon to make it light, what is the ratio of cream vs pastry cream,did i need use gelatin sheet or xanthan gum, and how much i need to add to make it airy.
Is there a way to turn liquid smoke into a foam of some sort? I think it would be fun to grill a steak, and put a foam on top that brings the smokey smell and flavor to the meat.
Great class on using Whipping Siphons! I had a question -- can a whipping siphon be used to infuse oil with herbs or chiles? For example, if I wanted a quick chile oil instead of the traditional method which would involve a much longer time, could it be done in a few minutes in a whipping siphon?
Have you tried recharging flat beer or champagne 😈
I've used mine to charge my own homebrew at different stages of fermentation. It's easy to over-carbonate, so either vent half the charge immediately or charge>fridge>vent>fridge>drink.
When would you use the "Pressure Liquid Infusion" method without a ziploc bag, and when would you want to use the Dave Arnold infusion technique instead?
What is the maximum amount of charges I can use in my isi 1 pint whipper?
Hi Eric, it ultimately depends on how full it is and what the temperature is.
Same here for homebrew, it didn't work that well as beer is generally lightly carbed compared to most things you would use a siphon for. I have recently found an awesome trick to de-carbing kegged homebrew though if you over carb.
I would guess using one of their gelatin based recipes would get you close. Interesting idea.
I've been homebrewing a good amount with my dad. Please share.
Hello,
I have a question. Can I make carbonated juices without the 'chemical' solutions? For example, can I make regular orange juice, put it directly to the siphon and add the CO2?
Will it work?

Can I use a fruit puree (like mango or passionfruit) and make a foam?
I was wondering if there was a cheaper alternative to isi that works well and isn't complete garbage. Any insight would be great! Thanks
Well, yes and no. If you add any fruit juice to a siphon and charge it you will get a very foaming soda. If you clarify or filter well, you can get a very clean and clear soda. Watch this video, https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/pectin-free-juice
Has anybody tried to make meringue?
I was wondering if there was any link to the siphon you guys use. I have tryed to get one at the store but they said you could not make soda.
Here 'tis! http://www.isi-store.com/product-p/1603%2001.htm
Yep, check it out here: https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/design-your-own-foam
Any idea on how to make hot whipped cream using the whipping siphon? I have some plans of experimenting with hydrocolloids for thickening; such as agar-agar (%2 to thicken when hot) or methylcellulose (1%) or iota carrageenan (1%); and maybe in combination with Xanthan Gum (0.5%). Another option might be utilizing pure emulsifiers such as Soy Lecithin.
I haven't started experimenting yet; any ideas or experiences on this front?
I've used 0.8% iota carrageenan and 0.4% xanthan gum with milk. I got a heavy-cream like texture with milk at around 60C+. However; after charging the siphon with the cream charger (siphon is a 0.5lt model); I got a less dense foam then I expected. It didn’t hold-up the shape as it came out of the nozzle as whipped cream would do. However when set below 45C, it had an airy panna-cotta like fine and soft texture.
I'll try increasing the amounts; but in the meantime any feedback is welcome.
Hi all, I have a question. Is it possible to make a thick foam from lets say mascarpone and cream (+ some other ingredients like vanilla, coco and so on?
Thanks for help.
I have an ISI soda charger. Can I use that for foam and no2 stuff? Or does it have to by a whipping one?
Looks like this thread is dead but I have a question about using a siphon to pipe a pastry cream into tart shells so it's not so heavy, would this work if I let the hot cream cool a bit before a piped it or would the foam collapse before the cream set fully?
Need help. I have N2O & CO2 canisters that were bought in 2015, does anybody know if they would be still safe to use, or would they have a use by date? Thanks.
hi, I will make some dessert for 50pax, and my recipe include a lot of chocolate whipped cream per dish. But I only got one siphon, is it ok to just use one siphon for the whole serving process without clean it? thanks
