Kilner Vintage Glass Butter Churner
Butter is expensive, but it's also amazing. What better way to save money than to make your own homemade butter? Of course, you could do that without any special tools, but it would be exhausting and take forever. Instead, you can use this handy butter churner and make it do most of the work for you.
Experience the art of crafting delicious, homemade butter with the Kilner Vintage Glass Butter Churn. This elegantly designed churn allows you to transform double cream into creamy butter with ease.
Simply place the cream in the 1-litre glass jar base, attach the lid with the churning mechanism, and turn the handle to set the paddles into motion. After about 10 minutes, witness the separation of butter fat from buttermilk. Strain away the buttermilk and use the Kilner Butter Paddles to shape the butter fat to perfection.
The residual buttermilk can be repurposed for delectable pancake or scone mixtures. This set includes a one-litre jar, a churn/paddle and a handy recipe booklet. The BPA-free glass resists odours, flavours and stains, making it both a healthier and more durable option. Remember, this butter churn is for handwashing only; avoid pouring boiling water directly. The Kilner Jar, invented by John Kilner and Co. in England is as much loved and successful now as it was over 180 years ago.
