Kilner do glass paddle churns (https://www.drinkstuff.com/products/product.asp?ID=15773&gclid=CjwKCAjw1ZbaBRBUEiwA4VQCIb_v1rvtq3suC8KPHGZolPuFh9dyg2TM2FHOUxMZ9vA7Y9Gvf4o4fhoC1GQQAvD_BwE). They are new and the rubber is easy to wash and get the butter off of. I used one of those on the table – they look very authentic but needed quite a lot of cream. You can water down the cream with cold water, which gives it more momentum and makes it easier to churn a small amount rather than having bucketfuls of butter left over afterwards. I also used to use those plastic protein shake containers, because they wouldn’t smash if an enthusiastic child with buttery fingers let them slip(!).

When I do it with groups I just use a screw top jan, and the children shake it in turn. Then they can hear the sound changes that you get with a real churn.
You do see small glass hand chuns in charity shops from time to time though - those are good because you can see the mechanism, and they're easy to sterilise.

If it's any help we make butter at home with a bowl, some double cream and a hand blender....historically inaccurate but it works!

Hi Everyone,
I remember last year or so there was a discussion about Butter Churning in school workshops. I thought I had carefully filed it for future reference but cannot now find it. Can anybody who does butter churning activities in their sessions or has a copy of this conversations, get in touch with me.
Many thanks
Louise
