espuma gun

[petrus]

I am looking to make a fondant and orange cream dessert by John Campbell. The recipe calls for an espuma gun. Am I right in thinking that an ISI Thermo Whipper from Nibsets would be adequate (or is there a better item?).

That is absolutly perfect for the job!

Just one caution: I got a Thermo Whip because I had some vague idea that the insulated nature of the beast would be useful, but in hindsight I'd prefer a 'normal' one (Gourmet Whip or Profi Whip). The Thermo Whip is great but restricts your ability to change the temperature of your ingredients once they're in the whipper - you can't put it in a bain marie, for example. Well, you could, but it wouldn't achieve much.

If that's not likely to be an issue, or (particularly) if you expect to be needing to keep ingredients warm or cold in the whipper for extended periods, by all means go for the Thermo Whip.

Thanks very much for these replies. I will probably go for a Thermo Whip but will have another look round before purchasing.
