Chill @heavy cream{1%cup}(240 mL; 36% fat or better) in a metal #bowl{} with the #whisk{} in it ~chill{15%min}. Warm cream whips to twice the volume and falls back down within the hour; cold cream holds through dessert.

Whip @&(~1)cold cream{} ~whip{3%min}, starting slow and finishing fast, until it holds a peak that folds over on itself.

Whisk @confectioners sugar{2%Tbs}(15 g), @vanilla extract{1%tsp}(5 mL) and @fine sea salt{1%pinch} into @&(~1)soft whipped cream{} ~whip{1%min}, to medium peaks that stand with a slight curl. Confectioners sugar rather than granulated: the cornstarch in it is what keeps the cream from weeping on the plate.
