Beyond Whipped Cream: Discover the Endless Possibilities of iSi Whippers
When you see an iSi Whipper, your first thought might be whipped cream, and that’s fair enough. But this professional tool does so much more. For chefs and bartenders, it has become their go-to for adding texture, theatre, and a touch of innovation to their menus.
Whether it’s nitro-infused coffee, airy espumas, or flavour-packed sauces, iSi helps you rethink how you prepare and present food and drinks.
Let us take you on a journey of discovery and explore two impressive ways iSi Whippers can help you stand out, delight your customers, and create unforgettable signature experiences.
Add Texture and Aroma with Nitro Fusion

Nitro Fusion has completely changed how many bartenders and chefs think about texture. This technique infuses pure nitrogen into cold liquids to create silky espumas, ultra-smooth sauces, and infused oils. The nitrogen also enhances flavour, unlocking natural sweetness and boosting aromatic profiles without the need for added sugar or dairy.
In bar service, Nitro Fusion can turn a simple cold brew into a creamy, cascading coffee that feels indulgent without being heavy. Cocktails take on a fuller body and richer aroma, while the signature nitro “pour” adds instant visual appeal.
In the kitchen, chefs use the same technique to create light sauces, infused oils, and delicate dressings that hold flavour yet remain beautifully smooth.
The iSi Nitro Whip closed system keeps infusions fresh for days, and its compact design fits easily into any kitchen or bar setup. It delivers consistent results with minimal prep time. The iSi Nitro is not just a tool; it’s a platform for creativity, speed, and differentiation in competitive hospitality environments.
Reinvent Heavy Sauces & Purées with a Sprinkle of Theatre

If you’ve only ever used a whipper for desserts, you’re missing out. iSi Whippers can transform classic sauces and purées into light, airy espumas (Spanish for “foam”) that reinvent texture in savoury dishes.
Imagine a velouté of mushrooms, carrots, or beetroot transformed into a foam; or reimagine your gravy, jus or even a curry sauce in espuma form. Now stop imagining and start doing, with the Isi whippers range.
It’s easier than it sounds. All you need is the right model, such as the iSi Gourmet Whip Plus or Thermo Xpress Whip, and a bit of preparation.
How to Create Savoury Espumas with iSi Whippers
- Use a professional model like the iSi Gourmet Whip Plus or Thermo Xpress Whip (both handle warm and cold preparations).
- Prepare your sauce, purée, or broth; it should be smooth with minimal solids and stabilised if needed (for example, with gelatine, lecithin, agar, or starch).
- Warm or cool the liquid to the optimal charging temperature.
- Pour your prepared liquid into one of the iSi Whipper models.
- Charge with iSi’s standard cream gas or nitro cartridge chargers, depending on how stable or airy you want the espuma. Chargers are available for order here.
- Dispense at service, over plated meals, or as a sauce accompaniment in fine dining setups. Voilà!
Your guests will be impressed by the contrast in texture, as the result is ultra-light without losing flavour intensity. And let’s not forget the theatre. Diners will be captivated by the artistry and presentation of this technique and will be eager to share the experience.
