Important Technical Callout
A very important point is that 115ml is considered a standard measure in the food industry for testing the strength of foam.
According to a popular professional cooking reference:
- A 4oz cup or ramekin is used to test the strength of a foam or emulsion before serving it in large quantities.
Similarly, according to the experiments of world-renowned chef Ferran Adrià (elBulli technique):
- A 4oz / 115ml cup is the perfect size for espuma and modern foam dishes
- Because it is large enough to show the strength of the dish
- And small enough to immediately detect if the foam begins to collapse
N2O Cream Chargers Update
When used with the N2O cream chargers update system, these cups create a very controlled environment.
This means that:
- Chefs create a cream or foam using nitrous oxide (N2O) gas
- And then test or serve it in a 115ml (4oz) cup
This method is particularly important because:
- It produces the same result every time
- The portion is perfectly controlled
- And testing becomes easier
This update is also important because now both portion cups and the gas system are better available for use together.
Precision Portioning: 4oz vs 2oz (the difference in exact portion size)
