This Tool Makes Homemade Butter in a Flash

July 06, 2017

"More kids should churn butter. That’s how it was in the old days. “Hey! Charlie! Go churn some damn butter!” Maybe I’ll get my son Grif to do that one day, but I actually do like to make my own butter. It’s a lot easier now, since we ditched the big wooden churning contraptions. There’s actually a very specific butter churning tool I’m into: the Churncraft."

Churncraft: Your Turn to Churn A Better Butter

May 04, 2017

"I had a great time making the butter, and an even better time enjoying the fruits of my labor. I view the churn as the kitchen accessory I didn’t know I needed to have, until I had one. You won’t find me in the butter aisle at the grocery store, but you might find me at my kitchen counter with a glass of wine, a French baguette and a mason jar full of freshly churned butter."

November 28, 2016

“In an era when groceries can be summoned with a mouse click, it might seem masochistic to even consider making your own butter. Yet the freshly churned product far surpasses anything obtainable via FreshDirect. This butter maker from Churncraft, an upgrade on a 1920s model, demands a little elbow grease—about 15 minutes’ cranking, typically—and a couple quarts of heavy cream to produce 1.5-1.75 pounds of butter and a bonus jug of buttermilk. Now, that’s a gift that keeps on giving.”

Rather, a stick of butter is something to be treasured and, with the launch of their New Canaan-based startup, Churncraft, it is the vehicle through which they hope to reach a large culinary audience.”
