We chose this model because it is hot and cold preparations. I keep the base in the freezer and I have all the time briquettes cream (whole) in the fridge, suddenly saw that the strawberry season starts I always enough to make a chantilly. In contrast to cream 2 briquettes must be put TWO gas cartridge for a nice whipped, I also use icing sugar and I put a well full teaspoon vanilla extract liquid ... It's perfect!
