What problem does it solve?

Homemade butter tastes amazing, but shaking a jar of cream for ages is exhausting.

The Kilner churn uses a crank with metal gears and a silicone paddle inside a classic glass jar.

What living with it is like

  • About 10 minutes. Kilner says a batch can be done in as little as 10 minutes.
  • Small batches. About 1/2 cup of butter from 10.1 oz of whipping cream.
  • Bonus buttermilk. Save it for pancakes and baking.
  • Kid friendly. Turning the crank is a fun activity.

Before you buy

Use heavy or whipping cream. Rinse the finished butter in cold water to help it keep longer.

It’s hand wash only.

Is it worth it for your home?

For a fun weekend activity and incredible fresh butter, it’s a lovely little gadget.

It’s not cheaper than store butter, so it’s about the experience.
