What Is FastGas?

FastGas, also called Fast Gas, is a brand of large nitrous oxide (N2O) cylinders. These are made to European quality standards for culinary use. The nitrous oxide inside is pure and food-grade, just like the gas in standard 8g cream chargers, but in a larger quantity. When used with a cream dispenser, it aerates cream and other liquids. This creates the light, smooth texture needed for whipped cream, foams, and espumas.

FastGas is a well-known brand in large-format N2O. It’s popular in restaurants, dessert bars, cocktail bars, and catering kitchens. Instead of changing cartridges every few minutes, one FastGas cream charger connects to a compatible regulator and dispenser. This setup keeps a steady flow of gas during service.

FastGas Cylinder Sizes

FastGas is available in three cylinder sizes, so you can match the capacity to how much you get through:

• FastGas 670g is the bestselling size, ideal for busy cafés, catering events and medium to high-volume kitchens.
• FastGas 1350g offers a larger capacity for heavier daily use.
• FastGas 2kg is the biggest option, suited to high-volume commercial catering that charges continuously through the day.

A FastGas 670g canister holds about 80 standard 8g cream chargers. This means fewer cartridge changes and less packaging waste during service. The 670g FastGas cylinder comes in cases of six.

FastGas Wholesale and Bulk

For catering businesses, bars and resellers, we supply FastGas wholesale in larger quantities. The 670g size is packed in a crate of six canisters, and bulk buyers can order by the pallet for the best value on high-volume orders. If you need FastGas bulk pricing or a full pallet quote, get in touch and we will help you find the right quantity for your business.

Why Choose FastGas?

For any operation preparing cream, foams or drinks in volume, a FastGas cylinder is more practical and efficient than working through dozens of small cartridges. The key benefits include:

• Less downtime, since you are not stopping mid-service to reload single chargers
• Less waste, with fewer spent cartridges to dispose of
• Consistent output, using a pressure regulator to control the gas flow
• Simpler stock management, ordering less often and storing more efficiently
• Cost efficiency for high-volume kitchens, since one cylinder replaces many single chargers

For kitchens producing a high number of portions per service, switching to a large-format FastGas canister quickly pays for itself.

FastGas Uses: What Can You Make?

FastGas uses go far beyond whipped cream. In professional kitchens it is used for desserts, cakes, mousses, sauces, foams and infused creams. Behind the bar, mixologists use it for espumas, flavoured foams and modern cocktail presentations. From a busy café to a fine-dining pass, FastGas helps deliver smooth, consistent results at the speed service demands.

FastGas Cream Charger: How to Use It

FastGas cylinders aren't meant for standard 8g hand-held dispensers. To use a FastGas cream charger, connect the cylinder to a compatible N2O pressure regulator. Then, attach the regulator to a professional cream dispenser or whipping system with the right hose or connector. Charge your dispenser carefully. The FastGas cylinder has an M10x1 valve. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and do not exceed the recommended pressure. If you're unsure about the right regulator and dispenser for your setup, check the product details or ask for help before buying.

How to Spot Genuine FastGas

FastGas is a well-known brand, so copycat products exist. Genuine FastGas cylinders have several verification features. These include a QR code near the bottom of the bottle for authenticity checks, laser engravings at the top of the canister, and a unique barcode. The easiest way to ensure you get genuine, food-grade FastGas is to buy from a trusted UK supplier.

Safety, Legal Use and Responsible Buying

FastGas and all nitrous oxide products on this site are sold strictly for legitimate food and catering use. Nitrous oxide must never be inhaled or misused.

Under UK law, nitrous oxide became a Class C controlled substance under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 on 8 November 2023. The change targets recreational misuse only. Buying and using FastGas for genuine culinary and catering purposes remains lawful, and no licence is required. As a responsible supplier we sell only to customers aged 18 or over, and we may ask for ID or confirmation of intended use before dispatch. We will decline any order where there is reason to believe the product may be misused.

For safe handling, store cylinders upright in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight. Do not use damaged equipment, never exceed the recommended pressure, and once a cylinder is empty, release any remaining gas through the safety nozzle and take it to your nearest recycling point in line with local rules.
