Manual Butter Churner with 32oz Glass Jar | Hand Crank Butter Maker

A bit bummed that the jar arrived broken. I assume mishandling or temperature issues with the recent polar vortex, but luckily I had an extra large mouthed mason jar at home. I was able to just swap out the jars. Followed the enclosed instructions, and had myself some of the tastiest butter I've ever had. Pretty easy to use. I assume it's not just me, but it got a little tough to crank when it got to the "whipped cream" stage. Then a bit harder again when the butter was finally done. Only issue I kind of had was that, even with the included non-slip disc, the jar still kind of slips and slides, but I assume not as much as without it. I look forward to trying my hand at some flavored butters! Thanks. Happy churning!

This mini butter trainer is wonderful. Makes a perfect amount of butter with very little work. no issues, highly recommend. The best tool to add to your kitchen.

Nothing better than making your own butter. Add some salt and stick it in the fridge. This little churn works perfectly but does take a little bit of effort to do it. Worth the price considering plug in options.

This butter churn is really well made. I've bought others of similar size, shape and method of operating and none of them could churn the butter as it thickened. This one was my "last" attempt at getting a compact butter churn and I was thankfully surprised. The part on the earlier purchased churns that failed was the gears that drive the paddle, all the other churns had cheap, loose gears that would slip causing the paddle to stop as the butter thickened. This churn is so well constructed of better materials and heavier gears that it effortlessly mixed the butter and never once slipped or failed. It takes about 7 to 8 minutes to churn about 1/2 lb of butter and it's awesome. I highly recommend this churn.

Very easy to use.

is ok as a gift, decoration for a kitchen

We have been watching some of these shows about archeological historians and how past generations lived, which inspired this purchase. Works the same way that this same basic design did 100 years ago...perfectly. Now there's more than just the effort of turning the crank to produce your own butter (there's a bit of a process) but the kids had fun and learned something. My only reason for the lower than 5 star rating is simple: I'm not sure that it's worth $60+ in my opinion. It seems to be a quality product (does squeak a lot but not really sure that's a big deal) but when I think of the cost of butter vs. buying the whole cream and churning it out for the morning toast, just not sure of the value. Again, no real complaints, just seems like they would sell a lot more at a lower price point.

It's a pretty decent little butter churn. Using heavy whipping cream, I was able to make butter in about 5-10 minutes. Super simple. Downside I see is that the metal seems a bit cheaper, but I also don't see it rusting. No metal flaked off, nothing like that. You also can't fill it too full, otherwise if you're cranking it fast, whatever cream you are using may spill a little bit around the top of the lid, near the gears (not a big deal, it's not a flaw, it's just that that means it may be filled a bit too full).For the quality of it, I do consider it a bit more expensive than it needs to be, but it works well and is a cheaper option, so there is that.Mine did NOT come broken, it was completely fine. It also comes with something to set the jar on to keep it from sliding. I haven't used it yet, we took the handle off, attached a drill and set the speed, and duct taped the trigger on it to save our hands 😆

Decent quality, lid is a bit thin, so it will might get stuck on if you bend the top handle at all.

It sure is a workout, but if making whipped cream or butter it works great. From experience I learned not to fill. Only add crean about half way. Rinses easily and movement is easy, spins easy.

This actually worked and made great butter. We now experience using different kinds of natural and organic milks creating slightly different butter taste and adding herbs. For various types of butter nothing worth the time it takes and the long churning time

I bought this for my wife and ended up being the Churner of the Butter. This works well, though really no better than shaking a mason jar. If you just shake you have one less thing to clean. Does it work? Absolutely. Is it the best tool for the job? Probably not. If you live off grid and off line and really have nothing to do with your time, you could have a lot of fun with this.
