Small Manual Butter Churner

Works perfectly for small batches of butter. Easy to use and clean.

Disclaimer: Butter stick molds in second photo are not included and are a separate purchase item. "Magical Butter 21UP Silicone Non-Stick Butter Tray" Pros: -Large size jar with wide mouth made cleaning far easier than other styles. The ability to get my hand into the jar to clean all angles is great. Now I just have to figure out how to more easily clean the lid and churn mechanism without having to go hose it off in the yard. (Butter and butter residue down the sink is a horrible idea don't do it.) -The quart of cream resulted in enough butter to make four full sized sticks of butter. Love that it came out to just the right amount. -Instruction booklet contains example butter recipes for cinnamon honey butter and chili lime butter. Greatly looking forward to trying those. Garlic butter is another idea that comes to mind but that should be simple to figure out myself. -Mechanism is large enough to hold in lap while cranking if you were to sit and watch tv or youtube videos while churning, though the mechanism also makes enough noise to be slightly inconvenient there but the quality design and output makes that very worth it. Cons: -Butter is hard to clean up, but this is not a downside of the design but just a part of life. -Downside to the way the lid clamps on, but depending on how you hold it the jar can begin trying to rotate and wander, but the lid remained securely clamped on regardless. -Not as silent as I expected, the gears and hand crank tend to squeak and make other noises at times. -Not sure if it is supposed to but there's a little bit of wobble in the central spindle right out of the box, but aside from a tactile feeling when it happens the churn works great and that's not a complaint. -The instructions didn't say how much cream to put in, and given the store page said "Holds 30oz" I went right ahead and put a whole quart of cream into it and went to churning. The end result was technically butter but due to the volume of cream I spent about an hour churning before realizing the butter was done but just soft and spreadable due to the volume and it not separating perfectly so I ended up mixing buttermilk into the butter via overchurning. That said it made great butter it's just softer and won't last as long in the fridge, but a bit of explanation in the instructions would have saved me a lot of time. Now I know for next time though. Overall very happy with the churn and look forward to it improving my baking escapades.

I honestly was not expecting much but it worked perfectly. Turn, turn, turn, and you are starting to loose hope. Then in a few seconds it gets a little hard to turn then easy to turn and you have the most amazing butter you have ever tasted. I had to go to the local bakery to get a loaf of bread worthy of this butter. We are now experimenting with all kinds of savory and sweet options.

I have wanted to learn how to make butter by hand for a while now and just never got around to it. It's an incredibly easy process that just requires a bit of elbow grease and some high fat daily products. This butter churn was super fun and easy to use. I read that butter should magically appear within 10 minutes of churning. At the 12 minute mark I was getting worried that I wasn't doing something correctly. but within 10 seconds the heavy whipping cream that I used turned from a frothy liquid to actual real life butter! I was and still am in awe of the process and what this will mean for my home made compound butter creations. I started with just plan butter which was delicious but I soon decided to turn it into an amazing honey cinnamon breakfast spread which was out of this world. the possibilities are endless but I will offer a bit of caution. Once the dairy becomes butter, do not over churn it! the different consistency will start to put strain on the teeth of the gear and eventually break them. I'm sure the people who have reviewed this and stated that the gears broke or started to grind were over churning and putting unnecessary strain on the machine. Once it becomes solid and sticks to the paddles, stop, remove the butter milk in the bottom, rinse your butter, in cold water, of any remaining butter milk, add some salt if you like and enjoy, I've learned recently that rinsing the butter will increase the shelf life. Very important step that I neglected to do correctly my first time.

Gave as a gift Christmas. Functions well and relative enjoys using it.

While this may not be too impressive to people 100 years ago, I, a humble, not particularly gourmet man, made my own butter with this handy gadget using 160 year old technology. The butter tastes awesome, and I probably burned enough calories in the making of it to eat a little myself. Used some regular old heavy whipping cream that was sitting in the fridge. Let it sit out about an hour and half (directions call for 1-2 hours), and churned away for about 12 minutes. I was worried at the ten minute mark, because other than yellow colored milk, I hadn't made anything. At about eleven and a half minutes, the whole thing pretty much instantly got solid, and sticky, and, like magic, there was butter! I probably had about 8oz of cream when I started, and it produced about the equivalent of a stick and a quarter of butter. I did buy the butter paddles separately so that I could make it butter-shaped using the proper tools. If you watch the video on the product, it is that easy, although I had to swap out my crankin' arm a couple of times. Video says it is good in the fridge for a week, but the instruction booklet that comes with it says two weeks. I'm not sure it will go uneaten for two weeks. Now I will design a robot that will churn it for me!

DO NOT PURCHASE- I ordered this item and the jar came broken no big deal got is swapped out the manual said it would take about 10 minutes to make butter well that is a million percent not true and once i got to the separation part which is when you should have butter milk and butter NOPE not unless you want a puffy soft serve type butter because when I put it in my straining bag to run water through it all it did was squeeze through the cloth which is does normally but not the way this was and not to mention to turner kept sticking on the gears so not user friendly (after churning 15 min is when I noticed sticking and had to start turning the opposite direction. I will stick to my electric one even though it only makes one stick at a time at least I’m not wasting ingredients and time.

Loved it! It was smaller than I expected but it is in great working order and is made very well

Great bit of kit.

When Covid happened I started making my own things. Like cheese and bread. Then I started making butter in a jar. My world changed. LOVE MAKING BUTTER! So I decided to purchase this butter jar and wheel. Best decision I ever made. Great purchase. Highly recommend.

Excelente qualidade, original Kilner. Uma peça que uni o design retro, funcionalidade e qualidade. Ja testei e resultou em uma manteiga +buttermilk que adorei

Costly but very good product to home.

I love this little thing. Since getting it I find that I have such a fun time making my own butter in under 15 mins. Of course that depends on how much whipping cream you put in to make at once. I usually sit at night while watching the mindlessly churning the butter and before I know it, it starts to split and I have buttermilk AND my butter. Really interesting and fun way to make butter. Helpful with the paddles but you can virtually use anything to strain and shape.
