I like churning butter by hand. When the butter appears it's kind of like a miracle. I've been using "Lehman's Best" churn and this little honey is so far superior there is no comparison. The butter comes in a third the time and with a lot less effort. This is the one to get. You can get a pint and a half of cream into this one. The Lehman's churn holds a gallon but, really, who has a gallon of cream?

I've made butter before in the (big name mixer) with a balloon whisk which made a mess of the walls. That was good butter, btw.

In my goal to get off the grid, I've started to find hand tools to do the things I rely upon the power company to provide the power for me to do it.

Churning my own butter, by hand, from a pint of full cream was quite satisfying and only took about half an hour. No preservatives, look up "butter bell".

Honest reviews on Paderno World Cuisine Fresh Butter Maker

Gears that are connected to the handle broke the first time we tried to make butter. Also, shavings from the gears end up inside the jar.

We wanted a simple, easy to use and clean, butter churn that makes butter and would hold up. This was not it.

We have been making butter using the mason jar method. This is simple enough but a lot of work for much butter. Just skim the cream, but it in the jar, optionally add salt, and pass it around the table for everyone to shake. Then wash the jar.

This butter churn has a few major flaws:

1. If you churn too hard cream goes up inside the lid (between the white and silver part) and it cannot be cleaned without removing the lock washers :(

2. The plastic gears don't look like they'd make it for the long haul.

3. It feels like something is grinding, and black metal dust seemed to be coming up through the lid.

4. It is too tall to put back in the fridge when you are frustrated that no butter is being produced.

5. It didn't produce any butter. Maybe we got the recipe wrong (cream + minimal salt) or the temperature (cream came out of the fridge, but surely warmed up after an hour or so of churning), or maybe we put in too much cream (there was no fill line) but in any case we never got any butter.

Glad for Amazon's great return policy, but wish we could find a simple, quality butter churn.
