Safety & Recycling for Cream Chargers

Cream chargers (N₂O cylinders) are designed for culinary use only. To ensure safe handling and responsible disposal, please review the following guidelines:

Safety Guidelines

  • Culinary use only

    Cream chargers are intended solely for food preparation (e.g., whipping cream, creating foams). They must not be used for automotive, recreational, or any other non-culinary purposes.
  • 18+ use (where required by local law)

    Chargers should only be purchased and used by adults. Always check your local regulations regarding age restrictions.
  • Do not inhale

    Inhaling nitrous oxide is dangerous and can cause serious health risks. Chargers must never be misused in this way.
  • Storage and transport

Store in a cool, dry place away from heat sources or direct sunlight.

Do not expose cylinders to temperatures above 50°C (120°F).

Transport only in original packaging to prevent damage.

Recycling & Disposal

  • Empty cylinders only: Ensure all gas is fully discharged before recycling.
  • Recyclable metal: Most chargers are made of steel and can be recycled as scrap metal.
  • Follow local rules: Recycling procedures vary by region—please follow your local waste management and recycling guidelines.
