what's standard for making whips? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by sunshinesugar754
As the title says.
I was taught to add the pumps of vanilla to the canister and then fill to the max line on the canister.
My shift saw me do that today and she was like "next time please use a pitcher to measure, otherwise it's not standard"
This seems silly? Otherwise what's the point of the max line on the canister?

I use a steaming pitcher. 4 pumps vanilla, heavy cream to the max line, pour into a whip canister, check lid for a white seal, twist on lid, grab one of those pink tampon looking things, stick it in the charger, twist that on until I hear the noise, then shake, then lay it down on a flat surface as I move onto the next one. When I finish, I pick each canister up, shake it again, twist off the charger, toss the pink tampon thing in the trash, and stick two day dots on the concavity at the bottom, one stating "whipped cream" and the other, 24 hours out from whatever time I'm making the whips. Stick them in the fridge, run them to the floor, use them all up, wash them out, and start the whole process over approximately 999 times per shift.

I find it easier to do it more assembly line style. keeping the pitcher in my hand the whole time, I mix and fill the canisters, then check for sealant ring and top all them, then charge/shake/lay them all on side, then make and place date dots, then shake upside down and unscrew the charger, then fridge them all

Yeah, that's definitely more efficient. I only do it the way I do it because I run my shifts as CS/S and often get pulled away midtask and don't want to leave a bunch of whips without lids on them out on the prep table when someone inevitably needs support on the floor because Susan ordered two of every frap on the menu again, lol.

lol that's fair. I just got promoted to customer, but when I was running shifts and doing CS we were a small enough store that if I had to run on bar I could have my POS just turn around to the prep area and keep working on whips, so it wasn't that big of a deal. but I def understand not wanting to leave them uncovered for who knows how long when the high school next door gets out early and all the teens with no ride home come for their "coffee" addiction

Why do you label it as whipped cream when there is nothing else it could be...? Is that standard? I only label things with a name when it isn't obvious what it is (like caramel drizzle and apple drizzle since they both are put in the same bottles)

the pitcher is easier to measure bc the max line is on the outside of the whips right? so it’s kinda hard to tell when ur inside matches the outside yk

the steaming pitcher is standard. its on the official directions on how to make whips that we use a steaming pitcher 4 pumps vanilla then hc to max line on the steaming pitcher then pour into canister.

As far as I was thought and consider standard is I also use a milk pitcher. I use 4 pumps of vanilla, heavy cream to the max line. Put in canister check for the gasket. Put CO2 canister shake ten times. Let it sit for a minute and label and repeat lol
