Whipping Siphon Foams

Culinary whipping siphon foams are quick and easy to make, very versatile, and fun to use and eat. Liquids in the form of stock, fruit juices, vegetable purees and even soups are combined with a stabilizing agent to prevent separation and breakdown when served. Air is then introduced into this mixture using a whipping siphon. Foams made through the mechanical force of this piece of equipment result in espuma or air, which is a dense foam comparable to mousse.

It is fun to experiment with different food combinations. You'll be surprised at some of the unique flavors you can develop so let your imagine run wild!

If you are interested in discovering more about foams made both with and without a whipping siphon see our How to Make Modernist Foams article. For more in depth explanations on How to Use a Whipping Siphon or What Type of Whipping Siphon Should I Buy check out these blog posts.
