Kilner Small Manual Butter Churner

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.

Perfect!! Makes butter in 10 minutes. Cheaper than store bought and tastes better.

This was a gift from my parents. I love butter, and they thought I'd love being able to make my own. That's an understatement. I am obsessed. This butter churner came with great instructions, and it's generally pretty easy to use. It does take a bit of stirring, but it's not an unreasonably long or complicated process. The butter produced is soft and creamy, and it was perfect for infusing with herbs (Italian herb butter? Yum, it's the best). I've actually had friends come over, ask about it, and express a desire to churn butter during board game nights - we all just pass the jar, and that makes the process go by pretty quickly. It's also pretty easy to wash and maintain - I've made at least three or four batches of butter at this point, and it still looks and feels like new, and I expect the quality to uphold over time. Overall, this is a wonderful product.

works well (follow the instructions) but i wish the crank, gears, and related parts were a little beefier. i've made two batches of butter from it so far and the product is amazing! but there was a little bit of metal/oil splash build up on the lid during the second churning and i had to already tighten up the crank screw. those are small complaints as this is a fantastic product and works as advertised and when you follow the instructions you get your own amazing butter. i say they're small complaints due to the fact that it still functions as advertised, the grind residue is on the outside of the lid and not near the butter, and that any mechanical hand cranked gear driven apparatus like this is going to need a screw tightened or gear greased along the way. my input to the manufacturer, build the crank and related parts a little stronger. this isn't a novelty product and will be getting more use than i think you expected.

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!

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

I bought myself this cool amazon doodad! A butter churn! Super great reviews! Fresh butter in TEN minutes!! I was stoked for it to arrive! I bought the cream on the day my churn was supposed to arrive but when I unpackaged the churn the glass jar was broken. So I ordered a replacement and went back to waiting.Today the replacement arrived! I had the cream! I was ready!!I pulled the cream out of the fridge to come to room temp..at 9pm I sat down and began churning? Cranking? Paddling? At 9:42 my husband arrived from work and took over 3 minutes of spinning the handle. He asked how long I’d been at it… over half an hour I explained. “This isn’t fun” he admitted and I took back over.I had been cranking for over an hour (ten minutes my butt) when finally the consistency changed! I had done it! Success was mine and it was going to taste buttery! Now… the top of the metal lid was covered in metal shavings from the length of time over of ten minutes I’d been aggressively spinning. I managed to file more metal than make butter but I was going to be careful not to tip it when I figured out how to remove the butter.Now there weren’t directions for the next part and we had not purchased the “suggested tools” from the list in the packaging so we were trying to MacGyver it into submission. But somewhere during the jostling, all the metal shavings got dumped into the butter. I was over it at this point and had enough butter on the paddles for one darn buttered toast so I angrily threw away the steel infused curd and buttermilk. I spread the little bit of saved butter on a piece of bread when I picked it up my now tingling fingers and numb arm from cranking faltered and the bread fell from my hand butter side down on the floor in front of the trash can.The list of things I can’t do grows considerably each day and my hope for finding joy and purpose and fulfillment in everyday activities melts like butter in the hands of someone that doesn’t have cheesecloth or butter paddles.

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.

Great bit of kit.

I haven’t used it yet, but the quality looks good. It was shipped from the US, and the seller stayed in touch and kept me updated throughout the process. So far, I’m happy with my purchase.

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.
