Review on 🧈 Chefn 102 567 017 Buttercup Butter Maker: Effortlessly Create Homemade Butter in Minutes! by David Pirlet

I like the concept of this tool and I like most of Chef'n's very smart products. The idea is that you can make a small amount of butter in a container without using cheesecloth. It works, straight to the point. I've made two batches of oil in it so far and have been able to use both. Simply let a cup of heavy whipping cream sit for 6-8 hours, then pour into a butter making jar. I shook briefly until the milk fat set (it only took about 3-4 minutes). Strain the buttermilk through a strainer on the side of the glass and reserve as needed. Then, using cold water, pass several portions of cold water through a sieve until full, then drain. this flushes the buttermilk of oil solids so it holds up better. The more buttermilk you make from solid butter, the longer your butter will last before going rancid. Once you have a clear rinse, you can drain off any last liquid, then open the bottom of the container and tap the jar lightly until most of the oil falls into the lower bowl, which also doubles as a serving bowl. At this point, I gently stirred the salt with a small spatula. However, the product has instructions on how to make honey oil and garlic oil in the shaking step, which I haven't tried yet. Benefits: 1. Keeps the promise of essentially a one-shell process with no gauze and additional filters and plates. pretty fun, and often a recipe requires me to buy more cream than I really need, so it's a good way to use extra.3. Tastes just fine, you can season to your liking and remove any nasty added preservatives or plasticizers.4. You can cultivate cream to make European-style fermented butter. I tried it by adding a scoop of Greek yogurt to a serving and the results were just great. only makes a small amount which is great for just one person. I only bake occasionally so I don't need pounds of canned butter sitting in my fridge waiting for my next project. Thanks to this, I have coffee creamer and enough butter for toast and other small purposes for about a week. works for me Cons: 1. While it looks well designed for the most part, it still leaks a little when shaken. It didn't work the first time, but it worked the second time. just a little, but maybe wrap it in a towel or paper towel to soak up any drips and keep them from spreading all over the kitchen. is only a small amount. It turns 1 cup of heavy cream into about 1/2 cup of butter. The cream I bought was $3.99 for a half pint (Trader Joe's Organic Heavy Whipping Cream). A pound of butter in the same Trader Joe's was worth $3.49. So unless you're buying cream from a very cheap place or owning a dairy farm, you're not saving money. there is still some buttermilk left in the oil. It would be a good idea to squeeze the butter bits into a paper towel to preserve as much buttermilk as possible so it doesn't go rancid. 4. Disposable tool. However, if you work with dairy, you most likely need a disposable container to keep it clean and separate. and it doesn't take up much space. I'm a fan of other cooking tools and most of the time they do a pretty good job for a fairly infrequent need. But every now and then you can add some good bread-and-butter snacks, and if you can get cream cheap and good then you've got a good, workable, simple kitchen project.
