Hot Ingredients in Whippers

[Anonymous Modernist 708]

Is there any reason why I couldn't put hot ingredients (scrambled egg foam) inside my cream whipper?

I bought this model: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/CREAM-GUN-WHIPPER-1L-PROFESSIONAL-DISPENSER-KA4700-/150602834437?pt=AU_Business_Industrial_Restaurant_Catering_Equipment&hash=item2310a0e205#ht_2658wt_922

Since it's seem to be all in stainless steel. It depend on the material of the gasket. If it's in silicone there shouldn't be a problem but otherwise you'll need to test...

The other difference is that sometime for the syphon for hot ingredients they have a larger valve but it shouldn't change anything for an egg foam.

I can't tell from the picture whether that is one of the professional (stainless steel) models, or the less expensive aluminum "consumer" grade versions.

I wouldn't put anything but cream inside one of the aluminum ones. I have one, and despise it, compared the the four professional versions I also have. Not only can it not go in the dishwasher, but the nozzles are too hard to attach.

How can I tell? It feels pretty robust.

You should be fine. We don't recommend holding it at a greater temperature than the 50 °C range, though. That could cause the siphon to over-pressurize.

Definately never, ever place a whipper with a ceramic top in a waterbath.

I have seen one explode in a kitchen, was like a shotgun going off. shrapnel everywhere. luckily no-one got hurt!

Mine is definitely stainless steel after inspection.
