We hope your refrigerator is stocked since the holidays are almost here.

Just a few cans of Reddi-Wip should do the trick. It doesn’t get much simpler to use Reddi-Wip, the traditional topping for pumpkin pie and hot chocolate. Simply shake, spray, and store in the refrigerator until use. No clean up involved—or so we thought. Thats where were all making an amateur mistake.
Early in the 1940s, a student at the University of Illinois tested the preservation of cream with carbon dioxide under pressure. Every time he opened the can to take a sample, the cream would foam out in a whipped state, which was his problem. A professor made the observation that the student’s issue could actually present an opportunity. After some testing, they decided to switch to using nitrous oxide because it had less of an impact on the flavor than carbon dioxide. The university released the patent to them because they believed it had no commercial value; together, they and another faculty member filed a US patent for this idea. In 1946, they established a business called Aerated Products Corporation and started marketing the product. There was a fun, new food item waiting for Americans coming home from the war.
Give an aerosol cream can a few light shakes before using it. The manufacturers claim that using the can at an angle causes the pressurized gas to leak out, which in turn leads to the problem people experience most frequently, which is that they can tell there is cream left in the can but there isn’t enough gas left to bring it out. Turn the can completely upside down so that the nozzle points straight down.
FAQ
How does spray whipped cream work?
It’s Driven by Nitrous Oxide Nitrous easily permeates the cream, causing it to “whip” as it emerges from the can. The mild anesthetic effect of nitrous oxide is warned against using it on each can’s warning label because rapid inhalation can result in tissue damage from the pressure and cold.
How do you use a whipped cream spray bottle?
Point the nozzle directly at the area you want to cover with whipped cream after completely turning the can upside down. Use a finger to press down on the nozzle sideways. Rinse the nozzle thoroughly with warm water before putting your can of Reddi-Wip back in the fridge.
Is whipped cream an aerosol can?
The term “whipped cream” that is sprayed out of a can is known as “aerosol cream.” In North America, the most well-known brand name is Reddi-wip.
