I was planning to buy a whip cream dispenser and I was reading this article How Does A Whipped Cream Dispenser Make Whipped Cream it talks about Nitrous Oxide. I do not understand how nitrous oxide works in whipped cream and if this is safe to use? ???? Has anyone of you owned and used a Whip cream dispenser/canister? Thanks in advance 

Nitrous is the propellant that "whips" the cream, it's used in the cans of whipped cream as well as creamers.

 

Whilst it is a narcotic type gas (it's used as a safe painkiller during childbirth) the amount used in a creamer is so tiny that there's pretty well zero risk unless you intend huffing vast quantities of whipped cream.

 

And the whipped cream then ends up full of Dihydrogen monoxide.  Careful with those chemicals in your body.

Dihydrogen momoxide is the same thing as H2O. In other words, it's water.

I worked in a Denny's style restaurant in the late 70's washing dishes and  making salads. One day I found one of the bus boys passed out in the salad bin, he'd been huffing the whipped cream cans.

In my university, way back when, we found a place that would sell us big canisters of NO2. From our food service we took the linings out of discarded cartons of milk - the kind that were put in milk dispensers in the cafeteria. The linings were essentially a plastic bag with a pipe attached where the milk was meant to exit. After cleaning them up, they made excellent receptacles for the NO2. Unfortunately for me, the brief high was followed by a prolonged period of nausea, so my fling with the gas was a short-lived one.
