What are differences between traditional whisked whipped cream and whipping syphon

whipped-cream

Is there any perceived taste or texture difference between traditional whisked whipped cream and whipping syphon. Assuming, for comparison, identical mix of cream and a little sugar.
Also, if say lemon juice, liqueur, or other flavourings are included does the N2O react with those in any way?

Best Answer

When you whip cream with a wisk, you can easily control the texture/consistency on a fairly fine scale, from liquid to butter. With a whipper you have, essentially, one output, similar to the consistency of whipped cream that you can purchase in a can, ready to dispense. Taste variation is influenced by other variables (raw product, flavorings). N2O does not interact with other flavorings, but they can easily be added to a whipper. The only concern is anything solid that might get caught in the seal of the whipper. Something as small as ground pepper could cause a problem here.
