Here’s a simple guide to convert cream into delicious butter using your Netco Butter Churner:


What You’ll Need:

  • Fresh cream (ideally chilled, with at least 35-40% fat content)
  • Netco Butter Churner
  • Cold water
  • A bowl and spatula

Steps:

  1. Prepare the Cream
    • Ensure your cream is cold but not frozen. Chilled cream churns faster and yields better butter.
  2. Fill the Butter Churner
    • Pour the cream into your Netco Butter Churner. Don’t fill it completely—leave at least one-third of the space empty to allow for movement during churning.
  3. Start Churning
    • Begin turning the churner handle steadily and consistently. As you churn, you’ll notice the cream thickening and changing texture.
    • Timeline: Around 10–15 minutes of churning (depending on the cream and room temperature).
  4. Watch for Butter Formation
    • After several minutes, the cream will separate into butter (solid clumps) and buttermilk (liquid).
    • Once this happens, stop churning.
  5. Collect the Butter
    • Pour off the buttermilk into a container (you can save this for baking, pancakes, or drinking).
    • Use a spatula or hands to gather the butter solids.
  6. Wash the Butter
    • Place the butter in a bowl of cold water. Knead or press the butter gently to remove any remaining buttermilk.
    • Repeat the washing with fresh cold water until the water runs clear. This step helps prevent the butter from spoiling quickly.
  7. Shape and Store
    • Add a pinch of salt if desired for flavor.
    • Shape your butter into a block or roll and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Enjoy

Spread your fresh, creamy, homemade butter on warm bread, toast, or use it in your favorite recipes. Nothing beats the flavor of butter made by hand!
