Otis Classic 304 Stainless Steel Whipped Cream Dispenser, 500ml w/ 3 Decorating Nozzles 4 Injector Tips and 6 Colored Grips – Commercial Grade Quality Made of Food Grade Stainless Steel for Home Chef

I hate to be just another 5-star review… but this one is worth it.
It all started with $4 can of Reddi-Wip. We eagerly waited all year for the one week when Hood strawberries are in season. My mother, a certified chef, makes the best strawberry shortcake you’ve ever had and she insists on real whipped cream from scratch. My complaint is that whipped cream does not hold up well unless it has been stabilized with gelatin or other proteins(yuk). For home(didn’t want my mother to know) I bought a can or Reddi-Wip for $4 and it only topped 4 shortcakes before we ran out, leaving me with liquid dregs. This is when I decided to research Whipped cream dispensers. I did a lot of web research before deciding on the Otis Classic whipped cream dispenser. Things I required were that it must be made of Stainless Steel (from stem to stern). I want absolutely no aluminum, reactive metals or chemical coatings coming in contact with our food. I wanted a quality product that will last and not leak the NO2. My intent is to store the cream charged and ready to go in the refrigerator like one would with say, Reddi-Wip. I also wanted something that uses the standard 8gm NO2 for availability and economy. I decided on the pint size because that is what you use for a standard 8gm NO2 charger. A quart will require 2 chargers or a special charger. On several web review sites Otis Classic kept showing up as the number 1 or two best creamers to get. The number 1 was often a different brands and I believe that is likely due to the site pushing their particular brand. But only Otis Classic kept showing regularly in the top 5 on most all sites. In the end I was on either ISI or Otis Classic v2. The Otis Classic v2 came with additional tips that you have to buy separately for ISI. However, ISI uses 18/10 stainless steel which is better than the 18/8 used on the Otis Classic. You can put 18/10 in the dishwasher. Otis classic uses a SS charger holder(ISI is plastic) which is a little I difficult to twist on, but I just lubed the threads with Vaseline per recommendation and it works fine. Note: the Vaseline in no way contacts the whipped or your hands, you never know it’s there. This is an external part that you take off after charging. I ended out ordering the Otis Classic, for me the price was not a concern, the best quality, performance and longevity is what I was looking for. ISI is about $20 more but it had a higher percentage of negative reviews. Once I received my Otis dispenser we immediately put it to the test. The whipped cream was fantastic, even chef mother approved. We put mountains of whipped cream on everything, including the scales 😮 . On our first can we had some cream left in the can when the charger ran out. I was concerned the gas may had leaked so I cleaned it up added the cream, weighed the full dispenser(1289 gm) added the gas(8gm) then re-weighed (1297 gm). I then weighed it daily for the next 3 day and it never lost a single gram. As we used it I weighed the dispenser both before and immediately after use. I confirmed that the dispenser never lost any gas or cream on its own. What I did discover is that you need to give the creamer 1 or 2 hard shakes upside down before dispensing and don’t turn it upright until you are done. The reason is that the cream can stick to the bottom of the can an you want this cream at the nozzle end when you are dispensing it so no additional gas is expelled. Also, little ones tend to want to spray it sideways instead of upside down and this expels the gas as well. By not expelling any gas I have found it will last the entire contents of the can. I’m using the ISI 8gm chargers which I got off of Amazon for only .70 cents each in a pack of 50. That should last us years. We like a littler sweeter whipped cream using 1 pints cream, 4 Tbl powdered sugar(C&H seems to have less corn starch) and 3 tsp of good quality vanilla. Stir it all up until dissolved, pour it in the creamer, add a charger and you are set for the best real whipped cream served at the peak of perfection each time you pull it from the fridge. It’s exactly the same 2 weeks later as it was the day you added the cream to the can. All the convenience of Reddi-Wip with vastly superior quality and taste. Keeping it in the refrigerator long term and using it slowly does not affect the quality, but I would not keep it past the expiration date of the cream and make sure you sterilize the canister to ensure long self-life of the cream. Final note: $1.82 pint cream +.70 cent charger =$2.52 for 8 cups whipped cream. Reddi-Wip = $4.00 for 2 cups whipped cream.The bad…having to go on a steamed broccoli diet.

Works like a dream! Made to last!
My family loves this new whip cream maker! It is made with quality stainless steel, and it’s built to last! Makes whip cream like a dream!

Product seems nice
The actual product itself is nice, however being someonr who has never owned one of these I didn’t realize they don’t come with even a single nitrous oxiden cartridge due to it being considered a drug. Apparently people love snorting nitrous oxide. My exictement being short lived afte realizing you basically can’t buy these cartridges in person because they are treated like drugs and not sold in any grocery stores. Rumors have it vape shops have them. But not only at a heavy inflation but they also think your gonna snort it so id rather not involve myself with that. They can be purchased online but with average economy shipping at about 2 weeks out. This is unfortunate because I now have a useless whip cream dispenser 😅 everything always ruined by drugs

The dispenser works well. The stainless steel one is a bit heavier than aluminum one, but holds cold longer. It’s easy to operate. Also, the attachments are stainless not plastic like other dispensers. Definitely recommend this high quality product. The cost is worth it.

I’m super happy with my purchase. I splurged a bit on a stainless steel canister so that I could make nitro cold brews, as well as whipped cream.I read some of the other reviews talking about Frank’s red hot foam (yum!), and am looking forward to culinary experimentation!Overall great buy, looks sleek, easy to clean, and very sturdy. Thank you!

We bought this product to use in our small charity coffee shop following reading really good reviews. Unfortunately, we have not got on with it at all and have come on here to message the supplier but now says ‘return window closed’ and doesn’t seem like we can now message the supplier direct so doing a review appears to be my only option??It takes an awful lot of shaking to get to the desired consistency but then the cream seems to go solid overnight….almost making it impossible to use.We have tried single and double cream, cleaned it out a number of times and replaced the gas cannister about 4 times already having only had around 3 semi successful uses. A number of staff have started from the beginning so to speak because we kept thinking we must be doing something wrong. I would really appreciate some help or even to know that I may have a faulty one???
