Let's Make Butter! Reviewing Butter Makers

[@bobf3598]

The Kilner brand churner, i just applied a small amount of food grade silicone grease on the teeth to stop the shavings (metal on metal, not good!). As there's no direct contact with the butter or whipping cream is not an issue.

[@Kathy-ie9lt]

I realize this video is almost a year old but I just got my Kilner Butter Churn today and after leaving a pint of heavy whipping cream sit out a couple hours I started churning and I had butter in 3 minutes. At first I was afraid I did something wrong because it said it would take about 10 minutes. But yes, 3 minutes and I had yellow butter. Mine did the metal shavings as well. I just blew it off the top before opening, but hopefully it just does it on the first time used. But anyway, I'm not sure why your Kilner didn't produce butter for you. Great video. I didn't even realize there were so many butter makers on the market :)

[@billvanheteren7688]

I use a Kilner. After first use the small gear began to slip. I used a punch to tighten it on the shaft. Works great now. Yield and time depends on butter fat content. I’m a happy churned! My times are no longer tha n five minutes.

[@sandrabrown6935]

I know the Klinger Churn was reviewed 4 years ago. I just used mine for the first time and had butter in 7 minutes.!! Works great!

[@kennethgabriel]

I purchased the La Bonne Graine butter churn last month. I must say I'm thoroughly impressed with it. I never made butter before purchasing it. Looking at all the videos, I was erring on the side of failure. However, I used it the first time and it produced lots of butter from a pint of Grade AA heavy cream. I was very happy. I'm not certain how others do it, but I leave the cream out for around 6-8 hours to allow it to get true room temperature. Another plus is that in the three times I've used it, it has only taken me 2-4 minutes to produce butter. The OP is correct in that the butter comes out with a beautiful color, great texture, and pleasing aroma. I will buy another one as I can't have this one failing on me. It's just too awesome!

[@LarryLarryLaffer]

You are heaven-sent for doing this for the community :)

[@Gregdevopitts]

The Kilner was given to me as a gift . It came missing a securing clip so I can’t use it. I contacted the company and was told they would not replace.

[@thewonkyquilterkimbourgeoi7908]

Was the cream cold? I hear it needs to be room temperature to make without lots of time.

[@kjcorder]

That's One of the first things she stated was that the instructions all mention letting it come to room temp roughly about 2 hours which is what she did supposedly

[@ullabella0]

The best butter is made with sour cream. Add some buttermilk to the cream and let stand for abot 8 hours. It makes French butter! But I think I prefer the Kitchen Aid. That makes some butter...

[@MKOMKONNNN]

if its too warm you can chrun and churn and churn into a mayonaise type cream drop the jar in ice every now n then

[@jeanproctor3663]

I thought I'd have a look at you video because I'd bought a Kilner churn. I left my cream out of the fridge for about 4 hours and in less than 5 minutes the cream had become so thick I couldn't move the paddles without difficulty but then after a few minutes of turning the handle with difficulty it started to free up again (at the difficult-to-churn stage there was no buttermilk separation *at all*. I had no metal shavings round the top either. I'm still churning as I watch (with breaks to type). I'm about 20 or so minutes into it now and I have butter milk separation too! Fingers crossed this works! :)

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Nice review on butter churns.I have an old one coming this week anxious to see how it works.

[@DVHomestead]

Thanks! Very nice! I can't wait to see how it does for you guys!

[@debbiemcmurtry8619]

Hi Wanda & Danny

[@thebigmann81]

Melt the butter and add some avocado or olive oil mix it together let cool then add to refrigerator. Now you have spreadable butter

[@lifewithmikeandjenn5814]

Light bulb moment...make friends with the paint department person at Home Depot or Lowes and have them put it in the paint shaker! Lol. Great review, very helpful!

[@DVHomestead]

I can see it now, you take in a case of mason jars, each half full of cream, and stand at the counter while they all get shook up! Tell the other customers in line that it is a special paint, take a sip out of one with cream before hand, and spread it on bread or crackers when its pulled out of the shaker! Everyone's face would be priceless! Then the men in white jackets will show up and offer you a coat that'll let you give yourself all the hugs you could possibly want! lol!

[@lifewithmikeandjenn5814]

Seriously!!! Lol! I'm may just have to try it at a mom and pop store down the road from us. Hmmm...maybe just maybe...

[@DVHomestead]

Oh no! I'm enabling troublemaking! lol!

[@lifewithmikeandjenn5814]

+DV Homestead Ummm yup! It's called "southern engineering" I believe. We have to encourage each other to think out of the box...right?

[@DVHomestead]

Absolutely! ROFL!!!!

[@richardd3527]

I believe that you missed it with Kilner ! Depending on your motivation to turn it, it takes only 7 to 12 minutes to get great butter... Cream must be at room temp (I keep it that way for about 4 to 6 hours for best results ! Sorry to say this, but it is the best product to me... Have a good day, miss 😊

[@thebigmann81]

I think Mason jar and wire mesh strainer basket for rinsing is all we need. Keeping things simple

[@thebigmann81]

They sell silicone molds for people that prefer the stick shaped butter

[@pheart2381]

I bought some silicone soap moulds to get a nice neat block.

[@thebigmann81]

I like the look and size of the middle one but not the cheap materials

[@leannalyons6511]

I just made my first batch of butter with Kilner. I bought it before I saw your video. Between my husband and I, it took 30 to 40 minutes before we got butter solids, which I'm okay with...but certainly not 10 minutes. For rinsing, etc...I let my Kitchen Aide stand mixer and some cheese cloth to finish the job. Then I made toast. The butter was divine. I will use the Kilner for the churning and my stand mixer for the rinsing in the future...

[@toidrayton-seymore5009]

LeAnna Lyons your cream may be too warm.

[@dsrooks1]

Nice presentation. However, you didn't shake the Chef'n butter maker quite long enough. It needed about one or two more minutes to completely extract all the butter from the liquid, then the strainer would not have been clogged up and the buttermilk and rinsing water would have easily flowed out.

[@dawnellis9693]

I LOVE my Kilner butter churn. The one you had trouble with. I have made 3 batches of butter and all have worked in less than 10 minutes. Yours must have been faulty...

[@wendygintz6123]

Dawn Ellis mine works great too, have the same kilner. Didn’t take long & didn’t have shavings on top. I agree must be faulty.

[@janetschochenmaier9311]

my kilner worked brilliantly

[@codygosney976]

Hey guys, I also own one and am having a heck of a time getting a large batch of butter like advertised. Do you have any advice on the type of cream used? I'm in the USA and have tried store bought heavy cream as well as raw cream straight from a farm with no luck so far. It makes butter but usually after 30 minutes of vigorous spinning despite waiting for it to reach room temperature and it only makes roughly 4 tbsp of butter :( any advice?

[@jkhyles]

Hi Cody! The best tip I have is to leave the cream out longer before trying to churn it. I also love my Kilner and have been surprised that it takes less time to churn than advertised - kids were actually upset the first time because they were tsking turns and the third kid didn't get a chance =0). Today I bought 16 oz bottle of heavy cream (Trader Joe's, if that helps) and left it on the counterfor more like 4 hrs before I got around to churning it. I started shaking it periodically to feel how cold it was and waited til there was chill. They say in 300ml of cream you get 100ml or butter, and I didn't weigh it but from my 16oz I got well over a cup of whipped-texture butter.

[@DHemstock]

@@jkhyles I agree with you... leave the cream on the counter. I never get metal shavings with mine. I get butter in 10min or less. Plus I get about 1 cup of buttermilk that I use to make pancakes or biscuits. I love the Kilner.

[@bonniegarber9915]

Really , you could get by with a used spaghetti sauce jar! No need to buy anything!! It was entertaining to watch your video, thanks for the demo!!

[@hanpurple9475]

Thanks for this review!!! It made me sub😃 I was considering getting one but was unsure about which was best !!!

[@live_the_lifeyoulove]

This is so cool. I would love to make my own butter. Thanks for all the info.

[@DorisAnneS]

Rarely do I ever make butter, when I do, I just use a mason jar. It only takes 5 maybe 10 minutes. I have even used a quart jar. No special equipment. Tastes great.

[@DVHomestead]

That is the way I have done it in the past. I agree- very simple and easy. These were products one of my subs sent and asked me to do a review on for them. I figured it didn't hurt to try it out! I did mention the mason jar method later in the review when I was talking about the Buttercup Butter Maker (t is just a fancy, complicated version of a mason jar). I may just need to do a video about the mason jar method to show people how easy it is and that they don't need to spend any extra amount of money to make creamy delicious butter at home. :)

[@leannalyons6511]

Oh and did not have the metal shaving problem like you did...so it is possible that the unit just is a flawed unit...but it will be something I look out for when I make butter in the future...

[@zaradimple3980]

Other method put milk in glass jar cover places kitchen towels in pile then keep beating bottom of jar on towels after 10 minutes butter forms.

[@laurajacobs9988]

Thanks, really enjoyed and it kept me from buying the Kilner!

[@ivanvilla3792]

the east butter maker is actually for cannabis. but you did use it properly.

[@thebigmann81]

Why buy a infuser when we can add the herbs to melted butter & mix together anyways 🤔

[@ricksanchez9627]

Hahaha I like how you used a cannabutter infuser for garlic butter

[@patricknobles3925]

love fresh butter, I liked the seven minute one myself out of the other ones you used

[@DVHomestead]

The fresh butter was so yummy! I was thrilled with the seven minute one. I am sure my daughter would even be able to do it.

[@flipfbEli]

the easy butter maker is for weed 😂😂😂

[@FrankieT666]

Eli Crisostomo I know bruh lol

[@esmacrafts3702]

LOVELY!!!! I need this churn so much.

[@Musique3579]

Here is the mistake that the people of today (most) wouldn't have a clue about. *NEVER use* what says *Heavy Whipping Cream.* That stuff is way too watered-down and actually, makes for way too much work to make a kind of inferior Whipped Cream. Do as did the Old Timers, use the natural product *HEAVY CREAM.* You might want to give a very cheap gadget a try which is about moron proof. (bty: You are NOT a moron.) * "Chef'n Buttercup Hand Churn"* is the name, and it sells for around 12.00. It only accommodates one cup of *Heavy Cream* of which much Buttermilk is leached out, but in the end you WILL have butter that takes around 3 minutes total of having to shake. Yes, the total amount of usable butter is enough to fill a custard cup only, but it is just such a no-sweat way of making up a batch of something not store bought already made with artificial yellow coloring. REAL BUTTER is suppose to be white. Keeps for up to one week in the fridge. ps: Make sure the Heavy Cream has had several hours more than 2 hours before giving it the 3 minute shake.

[@angelicasmith9357]

This was great! Thank you for all your hard work and effort.

[@jessica214972]

First.... I love your Tshirt, I need one of those! Second... I feel bad because you did so much work for not a lot of usable butter! I can just imagine waking up with some sore muscles from that. You did an awesome job! Thanks for the information, very useful for me!

[@DVHomestead]

The best turn around was with that French butter maker, that's for sure. Yes, ALOT of work done on Friday and very sore arms and shoulders Saturday morning, but I quickly forgot about the sore muscles right away when the cow stepped on my toe! But I feel it was worth it to give everyone an honest review of each one. The butter that I did make was delicious though! :)

[@DVHomestead]

Oh! And I stole that Tshirt from my hubby! I have no idea where or when he had gotten it, but I got it from him about 4 1/2 years ago! lol! It's comfy and one of my favorites!

[@DroneGirl1]

Looks very good, can't beat a home made butter! Thumbs up and well done! :)

[@amyjohnson7834]

I found the French one on amazon UK

[@DVHomestead]

very nice! I didn't think to check amazon UK!

[@amberonskja]

Ok...i want your tee shirt!

[@mikewingo778]

Tried my Kilner for the first time today and got nothing. Worked at it for about 30 min. Used heavy whipping cream as a starter. Very disappointed, but maybe I should have stuck with it longer. I'll try again.

[@mardapienaar7565]

Are you not supposed to grease or add some petroleum jelly on the Kilner? Steel against steel will grind shavings??

[@darkstaroblivion]

20 mins on my kilner , butter every time but i can say i too noticed the shavings

[@cansssable]

Hi-- the Kilner Butter Maker worked fine. But hey I may be biased. From David Kilner

[@fritom444]

hay does that easy butter maker heat up. Thanks for the veido

[@DVHomestead]

you have to heat it up on the stove, it does not heat up or plug in itself. :) Thanks for watching!

[@annapennrose1158]

Does anyone know where I can purchase the La Bonne Graine butter maker?

[@pheart2381]

I think your cream was too cold. I warm mine up slightly.

[@DebiTurner]

here is the french one... i can't speak french.. i want it but can't figure out if they ship to the us. bummer. its about $73. us.

[@DVHomestead]

I don't know! But it is awesome that you found the French one!

[@susiehomesteader4645]

Love fresh butter

[@DVHomestead]

me too! it beats out store bought any day of the week in my opinion!

[@susannewinslow5717]

lol you don't even need infusers. All you need is a bowl, what ever you want to mix it with, a spoon or fork, and yourself to mix it.

[@amandahugnkiss3619]

People use that "butter maker" for edibles.

[@bonniegarber9915]

Your right!!!

[@chaiyai4647]

Tried my Kilner twice. NEVER GOT BUTTER Returning.

[@PriscillaSwaney]

Just keep using the old time jar. You sure had a work out.

[@DVHomestead]

My arms and shoulders were so stiff and sore the next morning after using all of those! It was definitely a workout!

[@Grizz270]

maybe oil the gears on the mettle gears ?

[@DVHomestead]

maybe... that would be awesome if that turns out to be the simple fix it would need

[@Grizz270]

DV Homestead it still wouldnt make butter as fast as the other one . but i will stay with just shakeing my mason jar as i have always done

[@DVHomestead]

Ah yes! The mason jar method! A tried and true method of making butter! And it is cheaper to buy a case of mason jars than to buy any one of these items from what I could find when searching for these products online.

[@Grizz270]

DV Homestead not only is it tried and true but if you dont have the room to store extra gadgets then simple is best . we dont need a gadget for everything unless we want a bigger house

[@DVHomestead]

Very true! And its a great non electric method as well. I have heard of people making butter in blenders and food processors, but I have not tried those ways yet. Simple and cheap have been my friend when learning different skills on the homestead!

[@anthonywyatt3188]

We just used our kilner and had butter at about 8min. Must be a difference in the cream we use?

[@DVHomestead]

Maybe... Could just have been a defective one. That happens sometimes, which is why companies tending to have manufacturing warranties in case of defects.

[@shirleyellinger]

Same!

[@carlan.pennington7346]

HI you let the cream set out to long. I've made butter from a child. my Father made our churn. so for best results don't let your milk set out so long. ☺ good luck

[@brokenmoonlight86]

I'm new to making butter. What amount of time do you recommend?

[@foxylilmimi]

The electric one id for making weed butter lol for us stoners

[@angelofdeathstyle]

U forgot to oil the gears well grease the gears

[@xchanxzenx]

Lol. You needed to add grease to the gears

[@najatfaiz5570]

i need one

[@amberonskja]

ok the infuser...I don't understand...what is this for? WHHHHYYYYY? I get so annoyed when companies make products that make no sense.

[@emmavallance4845]

weed

[@Baitcasterbass]

I just buy butter lol it's so cheap
