This Tool Makes Homemade Butter in a Flash
"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.
