    So if I were living in the UK, I’d be a criminal, got it.

    But on a more serious note, how am I supposed to whip cream now? I understand banning it as a drug, but what about the main purpose of nitrous?

      @DaDragon before there was nitrous sold for whipping cream, there was this thing called an egg beater.

      Does the same job without producing so much waste.

        I actually had no idea people made whipped cream using a method other than whipping it with a whisk (manually or motorized).

          It’s nicer, for when you have guests over, for example. You could always pipe the cream, I guess, but that’s even more work

        Nitrous whipped cream is sweeter, but apart from that and presentation, you’re correct.

          @DaDragon I never whip cream plain, I always add a tsp powdered sugar and vanilla essence. Tastes way better.

        Carbon dioxide would produce curdled cream, that much I know.

        Looks like it’s only a half-ban, really.

        For example, someone buying a single canister on a weekday alongside other household and baking goods differs to young people buying a number of nitrous oxide canisters on a weekend.

        Which I find funny because I do have a large stock of nitrous cartridges, and am a young person.
