Perfect size it fits in the palm of my had. It was simple to use and the clean up was easy as well. The measurements on the side came in handy and having the butter being collected at the bottom with an easy screw off ramkin. Would recommend for sure.

Works great. I love this little thing. I don’t need that much butter so it’s perfect for me

Honestly a fantastic little butter maker. You just need to make sure your cream is room temperature (very important) and then shake for at least 3 minutes, but can do more for a thicker consistency.Rinse really well with cold water to remove any trace of buttermilk so your butter stays fresh longer.Really really fun little gadget for eaay tasty butter.

When I was small, my mother had a similar hand-shaken butter churn that she used to make soft, spreadable butter for multiple purposes. It was from a different manufacturer, but worked essentially the same way: you put heavy cream in the reservoir, let it warm to approximately room temperature, and then shake it until he fatty solids separate and form a mass. That mass is the butter, which, when fresh from the shaker, is soft, easy to work with, and has a pleasing fluffy texture.Mom’s old butter churn got damaged and discarded somewhere along the way, but I never forgot the taste and texture of fresh-made butter. When I saw this butter maker was available at such a reasonable price, I knew I had to have it. The butter I makes lives up to the memories I have from my childhood. Fresh-made butter spreads more evenly on breads and other surfaces, without tearing the bread, and disappears quickly into whatever you’re spreading it on, leaving behind nothing but the taste.Also, fresh-made butter is airier and more malleable than store-bought butter. This makes it preferable for baking and other cooking that involves mixing. When the butter is fresh from the shaker, it’s solid enough to stand up on its own, but also blends easily. Unlike refrigerated butter, which is rock-hard, or melted butter, which is pure liquid, fresh-made butter has a light, fluffy texture, which it conveys directly into the baked goods, which emerge with a much airier texture than you’re maybe accustomed to.Fresh-made butter does have its limits. It doesn’t keep as long as store-bought butter, for instance; the store-bought stuff can remain fresh for a remarkably long time, because it’s been so thoroughly processed that it has no impurities. Fresh-made butter, even if it’s rinsed and stored well, has a life expectancy of about a week, tops, so be prepared to use it quickly. Also, if you refrigerate it, fresh-made butter will remain airy, but it will turn shockingly hard and difficult to spread.This butter maker comes with clear, easy-to-follow instructions. It may take a few tries to get it right. They also don’t warn you that your cream will turn into whipped cream before it turns into butter; this doesn’t mean you’ve done something wrong, just that you must keep shaking. I threw out a lot of perfectly good cream before I realized this. The butter maker itself is simple, has no moving parts, and is easy to clean. Make sure you clean up under the silicone seal, which can trap food particles.Probably not everyone really wants fresh-made butter or can use it. But for ambitious home cooks, this is a slick addition to your kitchen arsenal, and you can tell the difference between fresh-made and store-bought butter when you use it. Your food, especially baked goods, will have a finer texture and a richer, earthier flavor. I look forward to trying fresh butter in more recipes in the future, as everything I’ve tried it so far has been improved by its taste and texture.

This butter maker was quite easy to use, fun to do, and made delicious soft butter.The instructions are printed on the outside of the bottle which is nice. I tried it the first time with a full cup of heavy cream. I recommend starting with only half that. I ended up taking some out just because of was hard to hear when I was shaking it if the cream inside was still moving around because it was quite full to start with.It took me only about 5 minutes of shaking to be able to hear the obvious separation of the liquid and solid. All of a sudden the sloshing sound was very noticeable. I shook it for maybe a minute more before I opened the top and drained the buttermilk out. I then rinse it 3 times until the liquid ran clear. I added some salt (a little too much so go lightly) then stirred it up and spread it on a piece of fresh sourdough bread. It was soft and flavorful.I don't know how often I'll do this since you have to put the cream in the bottle and let it sit at room temperature for 6-8 hours before shaking, and it's really not any cheaper to make it versus buy it, but it is absolutely delicious!When you wash it use plenty of hot soapy water as it is greasy in the bottle.

I loved this item! Less clean up and easy to make with my children. I have two of them so I was able to make about 2 cups of butter after using 2 cups of cream. Tip is to put the rubber part on the top and then close the lid. I attached it as it came and my butter didn't solidify as air may have leaked ,but my other one solidified after shaking. I tried this method again and both ended being solidified!!I left the cream out for 9.5 hours overnight and no bursting happened . I ended up getting little to none of buttermilk so it was all butter :). After rinsing it with ice cold water,I dumped it in a bowl,and folded the butter and drained the water and repeated until there was no water left to drain. I blended my salt at the end and placing it in a airtight container to go inside the fridge. It taste so amazing!!! It can be cheaper than the store if you want to use organic cream. I will continue to make butter for my family now.

tough the size is small, it is very easy to make butter. one problem that I have observed is, we use thick creamy curd to prepare butter, you will not be able to pour it from top as the holes are small, you have to open the bottom. if you do so cream leaks.

Aussitôt acheté je l'avais annulé peu de temps après, car je me suis renseigné, avec cet appareil vous devez attendre 6 à 8 heures pour que la crème se transforme en beurre ? ce n'est pas précisé sur l'annonce, juste que vous faites du beurre en 3 minutes ? oui peut-être mais seulement après au moins 8 heures d'attente ! malgré l'annulation de l'achat j'ai été livré quelques jours plus tard ? à mon regret je l'ai donc retourné cela m'a coûté 12,15 euros ! je n'achèterai plus via l'Angleterre ! Surout ne l'achetez pas !!

Der Buttermacher ist relativ klein - im ersten Moment war ich etwas enttäuscht. Im Nachhinnein bin ich froh. Das Buttermachen ist ein recht sportliches Unterfangen, mehr als einen Becher Sahne zu verbuttern wäre schon ambitioniert. Aber so ist das gut machbar. Für eine Familie zu buttern ist damit aber schon anstrengend und sorgt für kräftige Arme! 😜😜😜
