Which kitchen appliance use to separate butter from buttermilk?

Answer 1

You do realize that you are separating butter from cream and that buttermilk is the byproduct that remains afterward, right? So having said that, here's how you can separate butter from cream.

MAKING BUTTER: First start with a simple ingredient, heavy cream. You can buy whipping cream at the grocery store, although if you live in a part of the country where you can get fresh cream from a dairy, so much the better.

Next, stir up the cream so that the butterfat globules begin to separate from the liquid. One of the simplest ways to do this is to get a canning jar with a sturdy lid and fill it about one-third full of cream. Then simply shake the jar until you feel and see the butter separate. When that happens, there's a sudden and noticeable difference in the consistency. That's the time to stop shaking.

Now separate the butter from the buttermilk by straining it. A colander or piece of cheesecloth may be helpful for this task. Rinse the butter with cold water, gently turning the butter with a spoon while the cold water runs over it until the water runs clear. Then mix in a little bit of salt, to taste ? or leave the butter unsalted if you prefer. Put the butter in the refrigerator. Let it chill, and then it's ready to eat!

Answer 2

Buttermilk is the milk that is left after you've made butter from cream. So, there's not enough fat left in it to make butter.

Answer 3

You can't get butter from buttermilk. Buttermilk is what's left over after you make butter (from the cream).

If you're wanting to make butter and buttermilk, you need heavy cream. If you don't have a churn, use a jar (with a tight-fitting lid) and a marble. Put the cream and marble into the jar, put on the lid, and shake the heck out of it until you have butter and buttermilk. Pour through a strainer and let it drain into a bowl for awhile. The stuff in the bowl will be buttermilk and the stuff in the strainer will be butter.  

Answer 4

the part about whipping cream and it turns to butter is correct. modern day butter milk is made by adding an acid to regular milk, like you can do at home. this is done by adding a table spoon of lemon juice or white vinager to a cup of regular milk and letting is set 10 minutes. this method can be used to make sour cream by adding the acid to heavy cream in the same amounts and stiring. good luck bacondebaker.

Answer 5

I use a slotted spoon or large tea strainer.   I didn't know there was a special appliance just for that.  

If you are using just plain heavy cream...there won't be any buttermilk really.  If you use fresh from the cow milk then you will get butter floating around in the buttermilk.   Thats when I use the slotted spoon or strainer.

Answer 6

Electric mixer - place your whipping cream in a bowl, and whip until it turns into butter.

Alternatively use a churn :)
