I was in a rehab center that didn't allow us to have much outside food, but we were allowed to have coffee creamer. I bought heavy cream with the excuse of using it for my coffee. I made whip cream for the pie we were served and butter for my morning toast and muffins. I also mixed a little honey and boy was it a hit with the other residents. Heck, I can make it with very few supplies and ingredients then anyone can make it BTW, 2 years sober.
When I was little, my older brother (rest in peace) and I sat on the back porch and together we did a variety of kitchen chores. We churned butter, shucked corn, stringed beans, shelled peas, made ice cream, and so much more. Thank you for reminding me of those fond memories!
Can confirm a child can do it. When I was little my mom taught me how to make butter one Thanksgiving. That was my tradition to make it every year after that. Only difference is I made it by shaking it in a mason jar until my arm fell off. Love isn’t the only secret ingredient. Pain and suffering is as well 🤪🤪
I did this for my daughters class with a bread machine for Thanksgiving for 1st-4th grades. After putting in ingredients to the machine and hit start I'd hand the first desk child the mason jar and told them to pass it around while the bread cooked and then we feasted. I wasn't going to do it for 5th grade but the teacher contacted me telling me they were requesting it! Years later going through a checkout at Publix a early 20 something man behind me on line said "sir, is your daughter Emma and did you bring the bread machine every year? After saying yes he told me it was something he will never forget and looks forward to maybe someday doing the same thing for his. Made my heart feel fantastic
I have 3 little kids and my wife generally does all the baking with them. I just got into making bread with my son. They are butter fanatics, I can't wait to do this with the 3 of them. I'm gonna be the best dad in the whole world! Thanks Chef! 1/26/24 - Update. We have had a Blast making butter. My children want to make the butter rather than buy it from the store now. It's those moments I bring home the heavy cream and see the joy in their 👀 and shouts of joy that I thank God every day I have with them. Thanks again, Chef for your shared knowledge.
Next day update. Stopped by the supermarket and picked Simple Truth Organic heavy whipping cream (didn't say what %). Was worried it wasn't going to work, BUT IT DID! My kids had a blast helping and watching the process. We are using the butter we made this morning with Momma's 🥞. Going to continue this with my children! Thank you so much Chef!
I am not going to lie, I watched this, and I almost started to cry, I had a wonderful uncle, and he was as excited and kind as you are when doing what he did. Reminded of me of him, and the joy of learning something new and having the confidence to do those new things. One comment in a sea I am sure, but I wanted to thank you for taking the time to make stuff like this.
When I was in 1st grade we all brought one empty glass jar of baby food. The teacher poured half whipping cream in all our jars. Our assignment was to make butter by shaking it with the lid on. We all did it. Shook it for a good while until it turned to butter. It made quite an impression. As I still remember it today and I’m 57 years old. We all got to bring our fresh butter home.
I was in the second grade when my class made butter by putting cream in a jar and passing it around to be shook by all the kids. When the lump formed the teacher washed the butter in ice water (like the chef did) and we passed around slices of toast so we could all eat some. Outstanding!
I did that too! I decided to go to summer school after the 2nd grade because it was a cooking class. Every day featured a new recipe that we would add to our personal recipe books. I never forgot about the butter, the English muffin pizzas, and the ice cream cone cupcakes - no paper liners required!😅
We churned butter in gallon jars, possible on a dairy, in front of football games on the tube back in the day. All kinds, sweet cream, sour, unsalted, salted... and oh my it was so good. The butter milk, too which we drank from tall glasses. This makes me nostalgic, so I will be pulling the stuff together for a project... hand made buttermilk biscuits and fresh butter!
And I will add the same to that; only difference for me is the age (57). Yesterday while out shopping in a second-hand/used store I found (and purchased) a small tool I had never seen before. Yes, learning is absolutely a life-long experience; and JOY!
This is the result of a person following his Bliss!! You can do the same thing! You just have to find out what sparks your soul!! And like Nike says just do it!! Blessings that you find your bliss soon!!
I remember my kindergarten teacher having our class make butter. It was one of the happiest moments of my life, too. lol. I'll never forget it, and I'm 52.
Yeah, I just found his channel and am working through his old videos. I watch him because he's so passionate and excited about food and it seems like he's also passionate about passing on his knowledge of it. He's a hoot to watch. It's always good to find someone who is excited about teaching you a skill, such passion is infectious.
I like to add a little salt, if you want to make a softer butter that’s very spreadable, add a little extra virgin olive oil, this is how they make the spreadable butter in the tubs, you can also season it for specific recipes, like with rosemary and thyme or sage, it’s such a treat, so if you have some heavy cream in the fridge, and it’s getting close to the date and you don’t know what to do with it, make butter, the chef did a great job with this video 🇮🇹😎🇮🇹
@@YeshuaKingMessiah Y ou add whatever you want, I add olive oil and a pinch of salt, been doing this for over 45 years now and it’s always perfect for me.
@@freepilot7732 After you wash it, you can work it in slowly, I’ve heard of people doing sooner, but I do it after, the olive oil will soften it so it moves along quickly
You were right about the "so easy a child could do it..." part! My 6-year old daughter and I made homemade butter today using this video and it turned out wonderfully. She was so proud to put it on the dinner table herself. We loved your enthusiasm and how animated you are. Thanks!
Yes, children can make butter. One of my classes (grade 1 or 2), had our teacher take a jar, put cream in it and it was handed to us to shake a bit then give to the next kid. Within a short amount of time, we has a solid lob of butter in the jar! It was a cool way to show how butter was made.
Same here, back in the early '60s when I was in 1st grade, our teacher had us line up against the wall of our classroom and pass along a jar of cream and each of us would say, "shake shake shake, butter we shall make" and by the time the last kid shook the jar and said those magic words, voila....butter!
Not sure why I saw this on my recommendations... But Chef's enthusiasm for butter kept me watching the whole time. And I'm definitely going to make some butter tonight. Edit: every time I use it, I sing "butter butter butter butter" like Chef Jean-Pierre.
When my Grandkids were small,I would pour whipping cream in pint canning jars and let them shake,shake,shake. The butter would happen.it would tickle them. Pour it out of the jar and drain and squeeze just like you do. We would add salt. Or their favorite was honey. The youngest one is 18 now and 2 of them still make butter and they also love to cook.Thanks for reminding me of good times with my small grandkids❤
My mom also did this with me as a kid. At one point we were studying settlers in history class and i used it for my show and tell, and served the butter made with crackers to the class. My mom before passing away gave me an old recipe book she had from when she little with recipes from the 1800's bc she knew i loved history like this and an unfinished quilt that was pieced but not flocked that my great grandmother had made. she had carried in her hope chest since before marriage. My older sister got the ornate cedar chest and the other quilt. Both were in pristine condition even after 50+ years!! We both had them finished and it is not only used, but pride of place in both our homes. They were so pristine they could have been pieced together last week except some of the fabrics you might not find today or as well made. I grew up with finished quilt s like these from as far back as can remember not realizing that my great grandmother had made all them until I was out of the house and didn't know more existed until right at time Mom's illness became terminal and she told us what she wanted. We were never allowed in the chest which bad a key. It also had her wedding dress ( with a waist size you could span your hands around) and her old diaries from before marriage and even discloses when she met Dad!! Lol. Dad's sailor suit from wwii, even tho he stayed state side due to vision. Remarkable time capsules you don't see anymore. Sorry i digress, but brought back many memories. She talked about how my grandmother and great grandmother would churn butter and how she helped. My Grandmother had a car that had the crank on the front and my Dad would take the train/trolley from Dallas to Itasca to see mom and would borrow the car to take mom out. The car was named "Ginny" and she would crank that car saying, "Come-on Ginny!! You can do it!!" As she cranked. It would finally start and off my Dad and mom would go a-courting but had to be back in time for dinner. Lol.
@@msswiftygal you salt after you have drained to taste. So basically kneed it into the butter ( which will be very soft, frosting texture) and taste. So how much you want. Keep in mind that any spice you add grows over time, and what your going to put it on. Saltines have salt already depending, or if hard rolls you may want more. Then you can put into fridge to harden it.
I did it! I did it! My wife made homemade bread and chicken vegetable soup tonight. I made butter. Yes, she did all the hard work. But this butter was the perfect topper for her fresh, warm bread. This was SO stinkin' easy. I will do this again (as soon as the pound I just made is finished)!
I make homemade butter all the time. I quit buying store bought butter years ago. There is no comparison! I also use my stand mixer. I have a splatter guard, but also wrap the top of the bowel and where the paddle is with a tea towel. For shaping, I use the heart shaped silicone mats from IKEA . Each mat has 6 hearts, and each heart holds about a tbsp of butter. I freeze the hearts in sandwich bags. I do large batches of butter, for about 3 months time. I keep a sandwich bag of butter in the fridge at a time. Easy to use,no need to think, I just grab how many hearts I need.
I made this for the first time 3 weeks ago it takes less than 3 mins in a food processor. I felt like I discovered fire for the first time 😂. I was so excited I've been telling everyone how to do it. I've managed to get quite a few to have a go 👍
Teaching a 5th grade class: after reading Little House On The Prairie I put the cream in a plastic container sat in a circle and rolled the container back and forth between 20 kids and we had butter in less than 5 minutes. We spread it on crackers and the kids were delighted! I had 20 Mothers call and ask me how we made butter... Because their kids were pestering them to make butter!
@@marleneslater a jar works if you want to get kids at home making it while they watch TV - my 3 kids would pass it to each other when they got tired from shaking it and now my 4 grandkids do the same. For a classroom, there are lots of plastic containers with screw-on lids easily found at any store. Might want to put it in a zip lock bag just in case - that will impede the spin/roll of the container but better than a mess if the jar spills all over a child's clothes.
Is it just me or does everyone find that they are smiling the whole video on every video? You sir are a joy to watch and a very refreshing to learn from. With nothing but love and respect from Kentucky 💕
I made my first batch by accident. I was brand new to cooking and I was asked to make some whipped cream. Well me being me was going to make the fluffiest whipped cream ever! I figured I'd just whip it faster and for longer. I put the heavy cream in the hobart mixer and turned it on high. I came back a few minutes later to the chef standing over the mixer asking what I was doing. I explained my reasoning behind what I was doing, that's when he had me look in the mixing bowl. I eas now looking at about 10lbs of butter!! I felt horrible to say the least, but lesson learned and we didn't need to order as much butter for the next delivery. LOL It's been 40 years since then and what a ride it's been. I've cooked for all levels of society. From the Homeless to Billionaires, I've cooked for them all and got to be a small part of amazing things and times. Plus it was the 80s and fusion cuisine had just hit Southern California. I don't think there's been a better time to be a Chef. By mixing the recipes and techniques of different cultures we now had access to an amazing amount of new food products from around the World. Before that you couldn't find a kiwi fruit to save your life!! LOL The stories I could tell.... Need to find a ghost writer. 🤔😄
First off this man is adorable! Second, he is right about not leaving it alone once you pass the whipped cream stage. The first time I made it, I left it and once the butter separated from the buttermilk, the butter became a paddle that splashed all the buttermilk ALL over my kitchen. I place a tea towel over the top toward the end. 3) you can also use a hand mixer 4) when done, just pour the buttermilk out and add salt to taste. Or you can take bits out and mix with honey or herbs. Put in containers and it makes great Christmas gifts with a loaf of homemade bread!)...but be sure to take the buttermilk out first. 5) you really don't have to rinse it. I've been making butter for a decade now without rinsing and have never had it turn rancid. But I also always use it within a few weeks of making it so.....6) the buttermilk! Ohhhhh the buttermilk! Use it in replacement of any milk requirement in baking (including bread) and guaranteed your baked goods will be noticeably better. Pour a little bit over your dog's food. They LOVE it and it's good for them! No fat, just protein! Use it to marinate ANY meat. Yep. Steak, chicken, pork, etc. Put your meat in the marinade in the morning (plain buttermilk or add salt, pepper, herbs, etc.) then rinse it off before cooking. It will be the tenderist, juiciest meat you've ever had. Guaranteed. It's freezable too. Or finally, you can use it on cereal or anywhere you use milk. Or just drink it! He is right. Once you make it, you'll never want storebought again!
@@sgbukhari67 From what I understand here, he starts with cream/heavy cream, puts it in the bowl/bot, Leaves it to suffer for a few minutes till terror solidifies, THEN the cream becomes uncertain of its life decisions and goes both ways as "buttermilk" and "butter" Buttermilk and butter are two components of/in cream to put it that way . By whipping it enough they go back to these respective states ✌️
@@ChefJeanPierre man I just made homemade butter 😂 I can't believe it at first it was upsetting me I was about to add some sugar and use the whipped cream but then it separated I was so excited thanks chef and I used a blender
I am a 45-plus year chef and I love watching your videos. You push the same thing I always have, that cooking is really easy, it's just a matter of doing. When I was a kid we had a dairy at the end of our Lane and we got fresh milk a couple times a week and we would separate the cream from the milk making fresh butter, fresh ice cream and all that comes with it. Some of these comments takes me back to when I was running a White Winged Dove hunting camp in Mexico. I had my girls in the kitchen making whipped cream for dessert and they got busy and stepped away from the mixer for a bit. When they got back to it, they hollered at me to come quick. I went up and they had left it go so long that the sweet whipped cream had turned into sweet butter. They had no idea how to make butter and were so thrilled when they found out what they had done (and that I wasn'tmad at them). They were so thrilled, I taught them how to make butter the right way, lightly salted. What they had made by mistake actually went fairly decent with the cornbread that we made for one of our evening meals. Thank you for your attitude as you teach people how to cook. It really isn't rocket science and if people would just try instead of "I can't", they would find a whole new world of wonderful food for themselves.
This is so true! I love cooking! When I was at home with my parents and siblings I never cooked because my mama always did, however, when I was 25 and I came to Canada, I had to learn quickly because no one was going to cook for me and eating out wasn't a choice. Especially when my first son was born, I wanted to make him home made meals. Anyway, I love cooking and baking! 🥰
I have been practicing baking bread with my 3 grandsons for a couple of months now and today I promised them we were going to learn how to make our own butter. I’m so happy I came across this channel. This Chef has such a wonderful energy to him which kept me engaged to his video. I’m looking forward in doing this butter with my boys and learning more from him 🥰
Have you found King Arthur Flour and their website yet?! They have amazing recipes, blogs, free online classes. A 24-hoyr hotlibe... Omg! And if you see their flour in the store, get it. You will never go back! My favorites are the "beautiful burger buns" (so soft and fluffy, they make awesome sandwiches!), the cinnabon copy cat recipe and the pretzel bites among a thousand others. Enjoy!
@@pippa3150 I have not heard of this brand but I will look it up. Thank you for the insight. By the way, I tried this butter recipe last weekend and I am loving it. It was so easy and my grandkids enjoyed the process and end result.
I just want to say from one mom (I should be a grandma by now but I get the house plants and puppies from my daughter 😂) I love that you’re teaching the boys to bake, people used to ask me how I got my kids to eat healthy. Easy have them help you find a recipe, search the pantry for the ingredients, go shopping for the rest and make the meals together! They love the food they made!
This takes me back so many years. My grandma made 1lb of butter from scratch every week on Saturday mornings. I loved to spend the night with her so I could watch her make it. When it was done and wrapped up in parchment paper and put half in fridge, half in the freezer, she'd get a couple of glasses from the freezer and we'd drink the butter milk together. You might ask: why glasses from the freezer? Me and grandma loved the teeny bits of butter that would escape from the cheese cloth, and the frozen glasses would keep it solid so we could enjoy mashing those tiny bits on the roof of our mouths. 😋 On Sunday morning gram would make pancakes, and she'd put that delicious butter on them. Oh the joy of nostalgia 😌
You paint a beautiful picture of Grandmother and Grandaughter together enjoying each other and enjoying the delicious treat for Saturday’s. Thank you for sharing.
I am 26 seconds into this video and have already liked, subscribed and turned on notifications. I don't know who this guy is but I absolutely love him.
I made it as a child in school. In the first grade my teacher brought in all the stuff and we each got to make some in a ziplock bag. Kept the whole class buzzy for an hour or so. Everyone kneading it and kneading it, so you don't even need a mixer. Then she had home made bread and that kept the class buzzy for another hour eating it. Smart Teacher.
Hi there! Since you are interested in food: It is said that by 2045 we would be producing 40% less food than what we are producing right now and our population would be over 9.3billion people. #nosoilnofood We can take action now and turn this situation around, and create a significant change. #SaveSoil #ConsciousPlanet #Mentsükatalajt #Tudatosbolygó I thought it's important to share🌿 Love from Hungary 🌏🌎🌍
When I had high school home ec, a classmate did this for her home project. I think she even had her Mom help her. I, on the other hand, completely refinished my Mom's cherry dining room table. She spent under 30 minutes making butter. I spent hours and hours and hours stripping and sanding and staining and varnishing. We both got an 'A', but my Mom had a beautiful table.
@@urkiddingme6254 the US education system is the laughing stock of the modern world. So yeah, it needs to be fixed pretty badly. But I guess so is the entirety of the US as well. There's plenty to fix. Someone should probably at least start.
@@soggybiscotti8425 Yes. At least start. It will probably require a Presidency focused on it and getting the messaging straight and widespread, and repeated until it sinks in. Right now we have a whole movement trying to undo history and mathematics education for their political aims. How did we get here from making butter?🤭
For anyone curious, you can take a mason jar and fill it with heavy cream about 3/4 full, tighten lid and just start shaking. It’s really that easy. After you get that lump of butter, simply rinse in ice cold water to remove the milky white liquid left behind called buttermilk. Then store in the fridge or freezer til needed. The only real issue is that heavy cream is also just about as expensive as butter... I use organic heavy cream, which only has cream in it, no preservatives, propylene glycols or other crap. Probably the most thumbs up on a RUclips comment I've ever received. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing this simple method, Chef! You took me on a trip down memory lane today! I remember, from the 1950s, when my Grandmother sat out on the porch at their Minnesota home, and churned butter in her old wooden churn. When the churning was done, she took a couple squares of cheesecloth, and put all the scrapings from the churn into the center. She then carefully gathered the corners up and started twisting the corners together, making a big ball of the butter, and put it right into her "butter bowl" filled with the ultra-cold water from their well. A bit later, she would take the ball and start shaping it while it was in the bowl, and would pour off the water and replace it with more, freshly hand pumped from the well. I guess that was the 'washing' stage to get the last of the buttermilk out. She finally divided the ball, and put part of it in her butter cup (the upside-down kind,) and the rest to the freezer, all wrapped up in wax paper, and foil on the outside. My Grandfather always got the buttermilk left in the churn, so nothing went to waste. And oh, the taste of that fresh butter on warm freshly-baked bread! Heavenly!!
I made homemade butter this morning after watching Chef’s video. I added some coarse sea salt and it’s so lovely! My husband went out later and bought 3 cartons of heavy cream basically begging me to make more for us and our friends & family! LOL! Not only is it incredibly rich, creamy and tasty, but it’s also super fun to make! Can’t wait for tomorrow to make batch #2!!! 😋👍🏻🥰
Chef Jean, you make everyone feel like your friend right away in any video. You make things look so easy and they are because of your presentation skills. Keep doing what your doing! Thank You!!
Chef, you are the most inspirational instructor on the entire internet when it comes to cooking. You make what might seem to be the most complex, so simple. Aside from the wonderful dishes you create, learning new techniques for so many things, from knife use, knife care, etc. is worth every second spent watching. I love creating, and creating wonderful, tasty food is my passion. Remember, measure carefully!
I grew up on a farm in Ireland. When the cream comes from grass fed cows the butter will be a more yellow/golden color. My grandmother use to add a small amount of carrot when churning butter in winter(cows were housed during winter) so that the butter was a nice colour. Love the videos!
I've always kind of known how to make butter, but the infectious enthusiasm for the craft present in this video finally compelled me to try. Ran to the store, got what I needed, and made my first batch tonight. My wife and I were stunned how simple this was to make, and GOOD it is, even with store brand heavy whipping cream. Thank you for being you chef!
My fifth grade teacher brought a pint of heavy cream to class to teach us about the old fashioned way to make butter with the churn etc. But for the class she just let every student shake the heck out the container and pass it around to everyone and at the end she opened it up and you could see the butter forming.
@@piratessalyx7871I think that is how we did it in school as well. I randomly remembered making butter as a kid and hoped a video and the comment section would help me remember. Thank you!
@piratessalyx7871 my 4th grade teacher did this as well but she gave us each a baby food jar and ice cubes and then she poured the cream in each of our jars and she let us shake it and it did indeed make butter. She then gave us each a slice of homemade bread so we could use our little butter on it. 😊
I made butter once-did not know 36% fat & higher was best. Never heard of ice bath..so good to know. Glad you came out of retirement & share your knowledge!
Thank you for the video! When I was a kid, my mom would put cream in a jar and my sister and I would roll it back and forth down the hall, shaking it each time we got it, until it became butter. It was so fun! Then we would make buttermilk pancakes topped with our fresh butter.
I am going to make butter tonight for the first time and I hope I find 10% of the joy in it that this man does. One of my favorite RUclips videos ever. Bravo.
Love Chef Jean-Pierre’s sense of humor while watching his informative videos! He isn’t afraid of backing up and correcting himself it need be. Very enjoyable
I made this butter with you. I kept pausing the video lol. Not only did it turn out, it tasted amazing. I even cooked with the butter milk. I made corn dogs with it. I served the butter for Christmas and it was a huge hit. Thank you Chef
We have a Jersey dairy cow, so we skim the cream off of her milk to make fresh butter. It's a deep golden color (like Kerrygold) and it's incredible in flavor. I also started making it in my food processor because it breaks the cream in seconds. ❤
We keep Jersey's also. There is a reason all the high end ice cream makers use Jersey milk. They have one of the highest butterfat concentrations of any breed.
@@ibealion1 even my mom makes butter from scratch; whenever she makes a big batch, she'll keep a small portion of it in the fridge and the rest she'll freeze it, usual she'll store that one for more than 45 days... We'll consume the one in the refrigerator within a week or two.
I make butter with my preschool class every year. They shake it in a cold jar with a couple of marbles. We add a little salt for flavor and spread it on a cracker or some toasted bread. The kids love it and it's always so good.
That's good to teach the pre k. We would have love it too. But back in my Era and kids Era. The home ec9nomic was only about. Brown and chocolate chips cookies and. Jit made it at home. And take it to school Non of us in usa did learn anything good
@luv2travel2000 Sorry it took so long to reply. I didn't get an alert for anything. I've never had a jar break with the marbles. As the cream thickens the marbles get caught in it. They help the churning process. I end up shaking it the most because the kids get tired quickly. They love eating though. 😋
Hi chef from jello master . I will never forget making butter by mistake ! I was apprentice cook at the time. Chef Pierre at northwood country club in dallas instructed me to place two gallons of heavy cream into big hobart mixer to make whipped cream. I started mixing it with the sugar and extract; then I left it too long. It was for a big party. HE was very mad at me but did not fire me ! I learned a lesson. We made more whipped cream in a hurry !
Many of us kitchen folk have found out accidentally how to make butter. Generally right after someone asks “hey where’s the whipped cream”. One time we ran out of butter and my chef told me to grab some cream. Then after we made it he smiled at me and said “ we turned $15 dollars of cream into $5 of butter.”
This is a whole lot easier than churning by hand. In the 60s, my grandma and me made made homemade butter from raw cows milk from her cousins farm. Hard to do but fun memories!
This is the first time I'm seeing this chef and loved watching him make butter so much that I'm going to get the ingredients to make my own when I've used up all of the store bought butter in my freezer.
Thank God for the person who developed the KitchenAid stand up mixer! Your mother and grandmother sure had a lot of upper body strength to do this for all those years!
Yep, I learned years ago that making butter was as simple as beating heavy cream until it separates and so I tried it with my handheld mixer. It really is true! I haven't made it much lately, but it is easy. It's definitely worth trying yourself and it's very satisfying.
I never would have thought making butter was that easy. I even have the BIG kitchen aid mixer so I am all set to make a pound. Thank you for sharing Chef.
Fresh butter! Wow. Your the real deal! I can't think of any other channels that teach these colonary fundamentals. Thank you Chief Pierre for your service and expertise ❤
I love butter. growing up, and until about 10 years ago all I had was "spread". I can't imagine going back, and this just takes it to the next level. I don't know when I'll get a chance to make my own butter like this, but it is now on my list. Thanks again.
I've wanted to make my own butter for a few years but assumed it would be both time consuming and technical. This was a fantastic video, informative and funny too. Many thanks
I love my bread and butter....in the Philippines, butter is so expensive.... Many thanks for sharing how this can be done in a most economical and efficient way....thanks for making my day and ensuring the best buttered toast! God bless you!
On a trip to visit my aunt in Mississippi (we lived in SoCal, I still do) in the early 50’s my aunt would churn butter almost every day out on their huge covered patio and I still remember that taste on her homemade biscuits, fresh eggs and bacon and sausage gravy. Thick sliced sweet huge tomatoes. Even though us kids weren’t allowed to have that fresh ground coffee the smell of it percolating was mouth watering, my parents were ecstatic about it with the fresh thick cream. That was a memorable trip, and we would make that drive every couple years in the woody or subsequent station wagon. Us 4 girls, all almost 2 years apart, would sing Johnny Angel which became our long drive song lol. Oh, the memories.
I used to make it in a mason jar from the cream in the bulk tank on our farm. Leave it set to room temp then shake until the butter forms then another 5-7 minutes shake time. Turn it out into a pot of iced water over a cheese cloth and rinse, change the water 3 times then squeeze out the water. Put it in a glass container and keep refrigerated. Takes about 15 minutes total for those who do not have a kitchen aid mixer
We used to bring in hay to dairy farms like yours when we were kids. That bulk tank of raw milk is the closest thing to Nirvana that I've ever found. Like drinking liquid vanilla ice cream. Spend a couple hrs in the loft throwing bales around and chug 3-4 big glasses of that stuff..... MMMMMmmmmmm...
First time viewer, love this! My grandfather used to put cream in a jar and start shaking it. Then he passed it to each of the eager five grands to continue. Thru some unknown method there would be a burst inside the jar and solid butter with a small amount of liquid. Thanks for explaining the WHY! ❤️❤️👏🏽👏🏽
I’ve done the same thing with my grandmother in a 1 gallon pickle jar we would wrap it in a towel and shake it for a while and hand it to the next person there was about five grandkids maybe six never have forgot that I’m 62 now
We just made our first batch of butter and it tastes a-ma-zing!!! As we live in Germany, we only had 32%-cream but it also worked, from 1 kg cream we got 400g butter. Many many thanks for this idea and the video!
If you haven't already, subscribe for continued fun. And look up the jan 1 compilation 1 million subscriber special of outtakes that his producer JACK made.
Chef Jean-Pierre is not lying when he says; once you make it, you will never want to buy it again. When I was young, I remember turning the cream from our cows milk into homemade butter in a old daisy butter churn. Best butter I ever had.
Btw, one of the best videos I have seen on making butter. Here is another great tip: 😊 if you make this butter out of yogurt, then make ghee, you will have access to 3000 year old secret of health from old Indian civilization, which even many Indians are not aware of. Ghee is clarified butter, which is like a medicinal herb for your skin, body, bones, and health. BUT, it needs to be made from yogurt cream. Yes, you read that right. THAT is the secret of real ghee. Many villages in India still make it that way. The trick? Make yogurt from whipping cream and then follow the procedure listed here. If you are over 50, ghee is especially important. Lots of videos on how to make ghee from yogurt but this one will do if you first make yogurt from whipping cream, then scrape off the fat cream from the yogurt and keep it, then make ghee the way it is made from that cream.
I made this for my daughter and granddaughters for Christmas last year. I was wise as to how to make fresh butter as a young girl I not only made butter with my Mom but milked the cow the fresh cream and milk came from!! Such a shame that things of old are not taught to this generation now. So much they miss out on.
Chef has now taught me to make my own "emotional support butter"! Well done as always Chef, you've taught me so much since I discovered your videos! Even my wife now loves my cooking.
Why is it that I've never thought of making butter in my life but when Chef does it all of the sudden I want to try it? Love the video's Chef! Thank you!
Add salt to the ice water when you do it. It will get extremely cold because of the salt and ice, then it will also season your butter and keep it very solid. Thanks Chef! I enjoy your NY italian accent, you must of spent a lot of years in the states up north. : ) Back in my time I use to make butter by hand, saving the cream from freshly squeezed milk from the farm. You boil it, remobe the cream, feeze it, and do it over and over again, then you churn it and add salt, there is your home made butter. I also made cheese as well. This method is covenient and quite simple. Enjoy guys! And remember, no more buying Amish butter!
Hi there Jean-Pierre! I'm 73 years old and spent part of my growing up on a little farm. My mom would go around the corner to a dairy farm and buy milk in a glass gallon jar straight from the cow. When it sat overnight it had like 2 inches of cream on the top, so sometimes mom would use the cream for whipped cream or make butter using an electric mixer. It was delicious! I really miss those simple days. God bless you!!! 💗🎹🇺🇸🕊️🕊️🕊️
Wow! Brings back childhood memories! My grandparents had cows on their small farm and my grandmother used their milk in her old-fashioned churn. Our job was to sit and churn until the butter was ready(kid-powered!🙂). Fresh butter and buttermilk using milk straight from the cows that morning!!! There is absolutely nothing like it! I will definitely try this, Chef! Great video!
I also grew up on a farm and my Mom made the butter from our fresh milk every day. She would end up with much more than we could eat and was always giving it away to the neighbors. My Dad and brother liked the buttermilk - I did not and still don't.
Wow I did it. FYI, Costco has 40% cream at a good price for 2 quarts. I made 3 batches of butter with my sons girlfriend. We used 2 1/2 cups cream and 1/4 tsp salt each batch. One batch we made as a savory with fresh garlic, fresh green onions, dried chives, dried oregano and thyme. I decided to roll the butters into logs as it was easy to slice and serve. We had some of the savory butter on baked potatoes. Wonderful. The kids plan on putting it on fish when they cook it. Ooo it would be wonderful on steak. This was easy and a fun project.
Omg… I can’t get enough butter 🧈! It tastes so amazing! ‘Whip it good’… when my mum was a child it was her job to milk the cows and make the daily butter for the family and they used buttermilk in breads and cakes 🍰🧈🥞🧈🥐🧈🍞🥛cheers!
My great-grandmother used a Mason jar and shaked the cream while singing. Then we'd hear that 'swish' of buttermilk then the 'thump' of the butter being solidified. Best butter ever. I've made a few tweaks but I kinda still make it the way she did.
Chef! I've seen a lot of butter making videos and thought what else could I learn? Well I appreciate how you explained how the cream will go through different textures and the importance of starting out with cold elements, placing the butter in a mesh bag and rinsing in ice cold water very thoroughly. Simple! I love these tutorials. :-) Thanks chef!

I was in a rehab center that didn't allow us to have much outside food, but we were allowed to have coffee creamer. I bought heavy cream with the excuse of using it for my coffee. I made whip cream for the pie we were served and butter for my morning toast and muffins. I also mixed a little honey and boy was it a hit with the other residents. Heck, I can make it with very few supplies and ingredients then anyone can make it BTW, 2 years sober.
Congratulations on both achievements!
Congrats to you. Keep going!
Congratulations. Well done.
That's awesome... Good for you!!! Congrats and stay strong. It might not always be easy, but I know you can do it.
Congratulations! I know the struggle. Keep up the good work
When I was little, my older brother (rest in peace) and I sat on the back porch and together we did a variety of kitchen chores. We churned butter, shucked corn, stringed beans, shelled peas, made ice cream, and so much more.
Thank you for reminding me of those fond memories!
Thank you for sharing your memory.
❤️
Homemade ice cream is possibly the best treat in the whole world.
Good times, miss those simple days.
We must bring those days back. Making butter with our children and grand children is a good start. Then bread, cookies, etc. Blessings to you.

He really makes me laugh. He really enjoys what he’s doing
He is a beautiful person. I’m so glad I found this channel.
Chef, you’re awesome!
I loved it too! He made me smile! 😁
I'm on the carnivore diet and have a lot of butter with my meals. Now, I just HAVE to make my own. No excuses anymore. Thanks Chef.
Can confirm a child can do it. When I was little my mom taught me how to make butter one Thanksgiving. That was my tradition to make it every year after that. Only difference is I made it by shaking it in a mason jar until my arm fell off. Love isn’t the only secret ingredient. Pain and suffering is as well 🤪🤪
what is love without a little bit of pain anyway
I did this for my daughters class with a bread machine for Thanksgiving for 1st-4th grades.
After putting in ingredients to the machine and hit start I'd hand the first desk child the mason jar and told them to pass it around while the bread cooked and then we feasted.
I wasn't going to do it for 5th grade but the teacher contacted me telling me they were requesting it!
Years later going through a checkout at Publix a early 20 something man behind me on line said
"sir, is your daughter Emma and did you bring the bread machine every year?
After saying yes he told me it was something he will never forget and looks forward to maybe someday doing the same thing for his.
Made my heart feel fantastic
@@bigal8986 Such a cool idea
Pain is a great teacher, as my Dad always said.
@@bigal8986 We passed the jar in Kindergarten/taking turns. Instructor had Graham crackers @ the ready.
I have 3 little kids and my wife generally does all the baking with them. I just got into making bread with my son. They are butter fanatics, I can't wait to do this with the 3 of them. I'm gonna be the best dad in the whole world! Thanks Chef!
1/26/24 - Update. We have had a Blast making butter. My children want to make the butter rather than buy it from the store now. It's those moments I bring home the heavy cream and see the joy in their 👀 and shouts of joy that I thank God every day I have with them. Thanks again, Chef for your shared knowledge.
Next day update. Stopped by the supermarket and picked Simple Truth Organic heavy whipping cream (didn't say what %). Was worried it wasn't going to work, BUT IT DID! My kids had a blast helping and watching the process. We are using the butter we made this morning with Momma's 🥞. Going to continue this with my children! Thank you so much Chef!
Wanting to be the Best Dad in the whole world makes you the Best Dad. Happy Holidays!
Dad level: Godlike. Good on you, sir, and bless your kids and family.
@@alexe3574 thanks Alex!
Intent makes you the best already.
I am not going to lie, I watched this, and I almost started to cry, I had a wonderful uncle, and he was as excited and kind as you are when doing what he did. Reminded of me of him, and the joy of learning something new and having the confidence to do those new things. One comment in a sea I am sure, but I wanted to thank you for taking the time to make stuff like this.
"One comment in a sea" but you touched one person's heart..... Mine..... thanks. 😀
❤ to awesome and crazy uncles!
When I was in 1st grade we all brought one empty glass jar of baby food. The teacher poured half whipping cream in all our jars. Our assignment was to make butter by shaking it with the lid on. We all did it. Shook it for a good while until it turned to butter. It made quite an impression. As I still remember it today and I’m 57 years old. We all got to bring our fresh butter home.
Did you put a marble in it? Or anything?
I was in the second grade when my class made butter by putting cream in a jar and passing it around to be shook by all the kids. When the lump formed the teacher washed the butter in ice water (like the chef did) and we passed around slices of toast so we could all eat some. Outstanding!
What a great memory.
I did that too! I decided to go to summer school after the 2nd grade because it was a cooking class. Every day featured a new recipe that we would add to our personal recipe books. I never forgot about the butter, the English muffin pizzas, and the ice cream cone cupcakes - no paper liners required!😅
It only made a small amount when we did it and a lot of work
🇺🇸
We churned butter in gallon jars, possible on a dairy, in front of football games on the tube back in the day. All kinds, sweet cream, sour, unsalted, salted... and oh my it was so good. The butter milk, too which we drank from tall glasses. This makes me nostalgic, so I will be pulling the stuff together for a project... hand made buttermilk biscuits and fresh butter!
The chef continues to remind me that even at 71, there is so much that I haven't experienced. Thank you, Chef for starting my week on a high note.
Even a child can be71 ask my wife!
@@vincentlenci very true
@@vincentlenci you probably married a narcissist

And I will add the same to that; only difference for me is the age (57). Yesterday while out shopping in a second-hand/used store I found (and purchased) a small tool I had never seen before. Yes, learning is absolutely a life-long experience; and JOY!
I can only ever hope to be as happy doing anything as this man is making simple butter
This is the result of a person following his Bliss!! You can do the same thing! You just have to find out what sparks your soul!! And like Nike says just do it!! Blessings that you find your bliss soon!!
He’s inspiring
I remember my kindergarten teacher having our class make butter. It was one of the happiest moments of my life, too. lol. I'll never forget it, and I'm 52.
@Tflyisme That is hilarious we made it in 1st grade and I remember loving it. I'm 52 as well... went to school in Northern California.
I can hear Bob Ross now saying “little happy fingers”
The way he talks about this, you can tell its not a job or hobby or requirement. Its love, its passion, its excitement
"We got buttuh" slayed me!
Yeah, I just found his channel and am working through his old videos. I watch him because he's so passionate and excited about food and it seems like he's also passionate about passing on his knowledge of it. He's a hoot to watch. It's always good to find someone who is excited about teaching you a skill, such passion is infectious.
If you love your job.. you never have to work a day in your life.. Socrates
Love his excitement.
I’m definitely going to try this. Bon appe'tit!
I like to add a little salt, if you want to make a softer butter that’s very spreadable, add a little extra virgin olive oil, this is how they make the spreadable butter in the tubs, you can also season it for specific recipes, like with rosemary and thyme or sage, it’s such a treat, so if you have some heavy cream in the fridge, and it’s getting close to the date and you don’t know what to do with it, make butter, the chef did a great job with this video
🇮🇹😎🇮🇹
Olive oil gets very solid in the cold
When and how do you add the salt and or oil?
@@YeshuaKingMessiah Y ou add whatever you want, I add olive oil and a pinch of salt, been doing this for over 45 years now and it’s always perfect for me.
@@freepilot7732 After you wash it, you can work it in slowly, I’ve heard of people doing sooner, but I do it after, the olive oil will soften it so it moves along quickly
@@stevieg4201 thought so but thanks.
There’s almost nothing better than a person who loves their craft so much that it radiates through them.
You were right about the "so easy a child could do it..." part! My 6-year old daughter and I made homemade butter today using this video and it turned out wonderfully. She was so proud to put it on the dinner table herself. We loved your enthusiasm and how animated you are. Thanks!
That’s awesome!
Teach your kids how to do this, theyre gonna love it. My daughter thought it was magic.
I, for one, never want you to be quiet Jean-Pierre. Another fabulous video.
Yes, children can make butter. One of my classes (grade 1 or 2), had our teacher take a jar, put cream in it and it was handed to us to shake a bit then give to the next kid. Within a short amount of time, we has a solid lob of butter in the jar! It was a cool way to show how butter was made.
Sweet, i'm going to get a paint can shaker to make large amounts of butter. 5-gallon bucket to shake.
Same here, back in the early '60s when I was in 1st grade, our teacher had us line up against the wall of our classroom and pass along a jar of cream and each of us would say, "shake shake shake, butter we shall make" and by the time the last kid shook the jar and said those magic words, voila....butter!
This is amazing I'm going to try it . Thank you chef Jeane
Thank you so much for sharing that child hood memory. We did it during thanksgiving season in school also. What beautiful childhood memories
Same here
Not sure why I saw this on my recommendations... But Chef's enthusiasm for butter kept me watching the whole time. And I'm definitely going to make some butter tonight.
Edit: every time I use it, I sing "butter butter butter butter" like Chef Jean-Pierre.
This is the best food related video I have watched possibly ever😂
I totally agree!!!! ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
It is also helpful to say mixy, mixy, mixy when you mix things.
When my Grandkids were small,I would pour whipping cream in pint canning jars and let them shake,shake,shake. The butter would happen.it would tickle them. Pour it out of the jar and drain and squeeze just like you do. We would add salt. Or their favorite was honey. The youngest one is 18 now and 2 of them still make butter and they also love to cook.Thanks for reminding me of good times with my small grandkids❤
My mom also did this with me as a kid. At one point we were studying settlers in history class and i used it for my show and tell, and served the butter made with crackers to the class. My mom before passing away gave me an old recipe book she had from when she little with recipes from the 1800's bc she knew i loved history like this and an unfinished quilt that was pieced but not flocked that my great grandmother had made. she had carried in her hope chest since before marriage. My older sister got the ornate cedar chest and the other quilt. Both were in pristine condition even after 50+ years!! We both had them finished and it is not only used, but pride of place in both our homes. They were so pristine they could have been pieced together last week except some of the fabrics you might not find today or as well made. I grew up with finished quilt s like these from as far back as can remember not realizing that my great grandmother had made all them until I was out of the house and didn't know more existed until right at time Mom's illness became terminal and she told us what she wanted. We were never allowed in the chest which bad a key. It also had her wedding dress ( with a waist size you could span your hands around) and her old diaries from before marriage and even discloses when she met Dad!! Lol. Dad's sailor suit from wwii, even tho he stayed state side due to vision. Remarkable time capsules you don't see anymore. Sorry i digress, but brought back many memories. She talked about how my grandmother and great grandmother would churn butter and how she helped. My Grandmother had a car that had the crank on the front and my Dad would take the train/trolley from Dallas to Itasca to see mom and would borrow the car to take mom out. The car was named "Ginny" and she would crank that car saying, "Come-on Ginny!! You can do it!!" As she cranked. It would finally start and off my Dad and mom would go a-courting but had to be back in time for dinner. Lol.
How much salt?
@@msswiftygal you salt after you have drained to taste. So basically kneed it into the butter ( which will be very soft, frosting texture) and taste. So how much you want. Keep in mind that any spice you add grows over time, and what your going to put it on. Saltines have salt already depending, or if hard rolls you may want more. Then you can put into fridge to harden it.
I did it! I did it! My wife made homemade bread and chicken vegetable soup tonight. I made butter. Yes, she did all the hard work. But this butter was the perfect topper for her fresh, warm bread. This was SO stinkin' easy. I will do this again (as soon as the pound I just made is finished)!
Well done 👍 I bet it was an absolutely delicious meal worth all your hard work! ❤
Yum! All of that sounds so tasty! 👍
I make homemade butter all the time. I quit buying store bought butter years ago. There is no comparison! I also use my stand mixer. I have a splatter guard, but also wrap the top of the bowel and where the paddle is with a tea towel. For shaping, I use the heart shaped silicone mats from IKEA . Each mat has 6 hearts, and each heart holds about a tbsp of butter. I freeze the hearts in sandwich bags. I do large batches of butter, for about 3 months time. I keep a sandwich bag of butter in the fridge at a time. Easy to use,no need to think, I just grab how many hearts I need.
👍😊
I made this for the first time 3 weeks ago it takes less than 3 mins in a food processor. I felt like I discovered fire for the first time 😂. I was so excited I've been telling everyone how to do it. I've managed to get quite a few to have a go 👍
Hope companies not to increase milk price 😂
Please share how you make it in the food processor. I don’t have a stand mixer ( Thank you )
Can you crack me up made me laugh when you said you felt like you had discovered fire for the first time
Yes, please share how to make in a food processor
Same here. Appreciate if you can share pls tq
Teaching a 5th grade class: after reading Little House On The Prairie I put the cream in a plastic container sat in a circle and rolled the container back and forth between 20 kids and we had butter in less than 5 minutes. We spread it on crackers and the kids were delighted! I had 20 Mothers call and ask me how we made butter... Because their kids were pestering them to make butter!
Love this comment
My grandson is also in 5th grade, the recently made butter. Thank you for what you do 💚💚💚
I love that idea. Awesome
What kind of plastic container did you use? A round one, etc?? Brand?
@@marleneslater a jar works if you want to get kids at home making it while they watch TV - my 3 kids would pass it to each other when they got tired from shaking it and now my 4 grandkids do the same. For a classroom, there are lots of plastic containers with screw-on lids easily found at any store. Might want to put it in a zip lock bag just in case - that will impede the spin/roll of the container but better than a mess if the jar spills all over a child's clothes.
Is it just me or does everyone find that they are smiling the whole video on every video? You sir are a joy to watch and a very refreshing to learn from. With nothing but love and respect from Kentucky 💕
Kentucky here too! Felt the same!😁👍🏻
I'm also from KY, I'm smitten with the Chef 🥰
Represent! Go big blue!
I made my first batch by accident. I was brand new to cooking and I was asked to make some whipped cream. Well me being me was going to make the fluffiest whipped cream ever! I figured I'd just whip it faster and for longer. I put the heavy cream in the hobart mixer and turned it on high. I came back a few minutes later to the chef standing over the mixer asking what I was doing. I explained my reasoning behind what I was doing, that's when he had me look in the mixing bowl. I eas now looking at about 10lbs of butter!! I felt horrible to say the least, but lesson learned and we didn't need to order as much butter for the next delivery. LOL
It's been 40 years since then and what a ride it's been. I've cooked for all levels of society. From the Homeless to Billionaires, I've cooked for them all and got to be a small part of amazing things and times. Plus it was the 80s and fusion cuisine had just hit Southern California. I don't think there's been a better time to be a Chef. By mixing the recipes and techniques of different cultures we now had access to an amazing amount of new food products from around the World. Before that you couldn't find a kiwi fruit to save your life!! LOL
The stories I could tell.... Need to find a ghost writer. 🤔😄
First off this man is adorable! Second, he is right about not leaving it alone once you pass the whipped cream stage. The first time I made it, I left it and once the butter separated from the buttermilk, the butter became a paddle that splashed all the buttermilk ALL over my kitchen. I place a tea towel over the top toward the end. 3) you can also use a hand mixer 4) when done, just pour the buttermilk out and add salt to taste. Or you can take bits out and mix with honey or herbs. Put in containers and it makes great Christmas gifts with a loaf of homemade bread!)...but be sure to take the buttermilk out first. 5) you really don't have to rinse it. I've been making butter for a decade now without rinsing and have never had it turn rancid. But I also always use it within a few weeks of making it so.....6) the buttermilk! Ohhhhh the buttermilk! Use it in replacement of any milk requirement in baking (including bread) and guaranteed your baked goods will be noticeably better. Pour a little bit over your dog's food. They LOVE it and it's good for them! No fat, just protein! Use it to marinate ANY meat. Yep. Steak, chicken, pork, etc. Put your meat in the marinade in the morning (plain buttermilk or add salt, pepper, herbs, etc.) then rinse it off before cooking. It will be the tenderist, juiciest meat you've ever had. Guaranteed. It's freezable too. Or finally, you can use it on cereal or anywhere you use milk. Or just drink it!
He is right. Once you make it, you'll never want storebought again!
Are you supposed to use the whole quart of heavy whipping cream?
@@mayesrichard3167 Yes. Use the whole quart.

Can you explain in the beginning he is talking about whipping cream but started with buttermilk... Plz
@@sgbukhari67
From what I understand here,
he starts with cream/heavy cream,
puts it in the bowl/bot,
Leaves it to suffer for a few minutes till terror solidifies,
THEN the cream becomes uncertain of its life decisions and goes both ways as "buttermilk" and "butter"
Buttermilk and butter are two components of/in cream to put it that way .
By whipping it enough they go back to these respective states ✌️
@@wanderingdemon2501 That's an intriguing explanation - LOL. Well done!
@@ChefJeanPierre man I just made homemade butter 😂 I can't believe it at first it was upsetting me I was about to add some sugar and use the whipped cream but then it separated I was so excited thanks chef and I used a blender
I am a 45-plus year chef and I love watching your videos. You push the same thing I always have, that cooking is really easy, it's just a matter of doing. When I was a kid we had a dairy at the end of our Lane and we got fresh milk a couple times a week and we would separate the cream from the milk making fresh butter, fresh ice cream and all that comes with it. Some of these comments takes me back to when I was running a White Winged Dove hunting camp in Mexico. I had my girls in the kitchen making whipped cream for dessert and they got busy and stepped away from the mixer for a bit. When they got back to it, they hollered at me to come quick. I went up and they had left it go so long that the sweet whipped cream had turned into sweet butter. They had no idea how to make butter and were so thrilled when they found out what they had done (and that I wasn'tmad at them). They were so thrilled, I taught them how to make butter the right way, lightly salted. What they had made by mistake actually went fairly decent with the cornbread that we made for one of our evening meals. Thank you for your attitude as you teach people how to cook. It really isn't rocket science and if people would just try instead of "I can't", they would find a whole new world of wonderful food for themselves.
This is so true! I love cooking! When I was at home with my parents and siblings I never cooked because my mama always did, however, when I was 25 and I came to Canada, I had to learn quickly because no one was going to cook for me and eating out wasn't a choice. Especially when my first son was born, I wanted to make him home made meals. Anyway, I love cooking and baking! 🥰

I just want to say from one mom (I should be a grandma by now but I get the house plants and puppies from my daughter 😂) I love that you’re teaching the boys to bake, people used to ask me how I got my kids to eat healthy. Easy have them help you find a recipe, search the pantry for the ingredients, go shopping for the rest and make the meals together! They love the food they made!
This takes me back so many years. My grandma made 1lb of butter from scratch every week on Saturday mornings. I loved to spend the night with her so I could watch her make it.
When it was done and wrapped up in parchment paper and put half in fridge, half in the freezer, she'd get a couple of glasses from the freezer and we'd drink the butter milk together. You might ask: why glasses from the freezer? Me and grandma loved the teeny bits of butter that would escape from the cheese cloth, and the frozen glasses would keep it solid so we could enjoy mashing those tiny bits on the roof of our mouths. 😋
On Sunday morning gram would make pancakes, and she'd put that delicious butter on them. Oh the joy of nostalgia 😌
Such beautiful memories... thank you for sharing. I could feel the warmth of those moments. 😌
Life was so simple back then and the food was healthier not with all the nasty chemicals they have now.

@@urkiddingme6254 the US education system is the laughing stock of the modern world. So yeah, it needs to be fixed pretty badly.
But I guess so is the entirety of the US as well.
There's plenty to fix. Someone should probably at least start.
Awesome
@@soggybiscotti8425 Yes. At least start. It will probably require a Presidency focused on it and getting the messaging straight and widespread, and repeated until it sinks in. Right now we have a whole movement trying to undo history and mathematics education for their political aims.
How did we get here from making butter?🤭
For anyone curious, you can take a mason jar and fill it with heavy cream about 3/4 full, tighten lid and just start shaking. It’s really that easy. After you get that lump of butter, simply rinse in ice cold water to remove the milky white liquid left behind called buttermilk. Then store in the fridge or freezer til needed. The only real issue is that heavy cream is also just about as expensive as butter...
I use organic heavy cream, which only has cream in it, no preservatives, propylene glycols or other crap.
Probably the most thumbs up on a RUclips comment I've ever received. Thanks.
save the buttermilk and use it when baking biscuits, gives a very nice flavour to them.
That's how we did it in kindergarten! We passed around the jar and shook it till it was butter.
The buttermilk is very healthy and can be used in all sorts of recipes too ☺️
@@LittleKikuyu lowest fat content milk around it is. the fat all went into the butter.
I love your idea!!! Good exercise as well.
Thanks for sharing this simple method, Chef! You took me on a trip down memory lane today!
I remember, from the 1950s, when my Grandmother sat out on the porch at their Minnesota home, and churned butter in her old wooden churn. When the churning was done, she took a couple squares of cheesecloth, and put all the scrapings from the churn into the center. She then carefully gathered the corners up and started twisting the corners together, making a big ball of the butter, and put it right into her "butter bowl" filled with the ultra-cold water from their well.
A bit later, she would take the ball and start shaping it while it was in the bowl, and would pour off the water and replace it with more, freshly hand pumped from the well. I guess that was the 'washing' stage to get the last of the buttermilk out. She finally divided the ball, and put part of it in her butter cup (the upside-down kind,) and the rest to the freezer, all wrapped up in wax paper, and foil on the outside. My Grandfather always got the buttermilk left in the churn, so nothing went to waste. And oh, the taste of that fresh butter on warm freshly-baked bread! Heavenly!!
I made homemade butter this morning after watching Chef’s video. I added some coarse sea salt and it’s so lovely! My husband went out later and bought 3 cartons of heavy cream basically begging me to make more for us and our friends & family! LOL! Not only is it incredibly rich, creamy and tasty, but it’s also super fun to make! Can’t wait for tomorrow to make batch #2!!! 😋👍🏻🥰
when did you add salt please???
This was like watching a favourite Uncle with a French accent teach you a valuable life lesson! Loved this whole video, Chef!!! Merci beaucoup!
Chef Jean, you make everyone feel like your friend right away in any video. You make things look so easy and they are because of your presentation skills. Keep doing what your doing! Thank You!!
He's so loveable!
Is it because he always says “Fwend”
@@miketurner9775 why you had to spell it like that? 😆😂
Chef, you are the most inspirational instructor on the entire internet when it comes to cooking. You make what might seem to be the most complex, so simple. Aside from the wonderful dishes you create, learning new techniques for so many things, from knife use, knife care, etc. is worth every second spent watching. I love creating, and creating wonderful, tasty food is my passion. Remember, measure carefully!
Have u seen the Irish guy cooking out in a camp on the grass? Those vid's are beau.. Men with a pan?
You’re so special to so many of us who appreciate your expertise, Monsieur
🙏❤️
@@ChefJeanPierre Tu es si gentil, mon ami 🫶🏼
I grew up on a farm in Ireland. When the cream comes from grass fed cows the butter will be a more yellow/golden color. My grandmother use to add a small amount of carrot when churning butter in winter(cows were housed during winter) so that the butter was a nice colour. Love the videos!
I just buy Kerrygold butter. The farm my father grew up on is part of the Kerry Agri empire, now.
l love Kerrygold butter. You can really taste the difference.
Kerygold has gone up a lot in price
@@peterdoyle4530 Everything has gone up in price.
@@peterdoyle4530 How true.
I've always kind of known how to make butter, but the infectious enthusiasm for the craft present in this video finally compelled me to try. Ran to the store, got what I needed, and made my first batch tonight. My wife and I were stunned how simple this was to make, and GOOD it is, even with store brand heavy whipping cream. Thank you for being you chef!
My pleasure 😊
My fifth grade teacher brought a pint of heavy cream to class to teach us about the old fashioned way to make butter with the churn etc. But for the class she just let every student shake the heck out the container and pass it around to everyone and at the end she opened it up and you could see the butter forming.
@@piratessalyx7871I think that is how we did it in school as well. I randomly remembered making butter as a kid and hoped a video and the comment section would help me remember. Thank you!
@piratessalyx7871 That was a great idea of her!
@piratessalyx7871 my 4th grade teacher did this as well but she gave us each a baby food jar and ice cubes and then she poured the cream in each of our jars and she let us shake it and it did indeed make butter. She then gave us each a slice of homemade bread so we could use our little butter on it. 😊
I’m 50 now, I still have my 2x great grandma’s butter churn. I made butter with it as a child and still using it!
I made butter once-did not know 36% fat & higher was best. Never heard of ice bath..so good to know. Glad you came out of retirement & share your knowledge!
Thank you for the video! When I was a kid, my mom would put cream in a jar and my sister and I would roll it back and forth down the hall, shaking it each time we got it, until it became butter. It was so fun! Then we would make buttermilk pancakes topped with our fresh butter.
Hello Kim
how are you doing today?
So sweet! I love people’s butter stories on this thread
That's so cute! 😊
I am going to make butter tonight for the first time and I hope I find 10% of the joy in it that this man does. One of my favorite RUclips videos ever. Bravo.
Costco carries Dairygold 40% Heavy Cream but then we have cows all over WA.
I love how he’s enjoying the butter at the end. “It’s Kweamy, it’s velvety”😁❤
😂❤
Love Chef Jean-Pierre’s sense of humor while watching his informative videos! He isn’t afraid of backing up and correcting himself it need be. Very enjoyable
I made this butter with you. I kept pausing the video lol. Not only did it turn out, it tasted amazing. I even cooked with the butter milk. I made corn dogs with it. I served the butter for Christmas and it was a huge hit. Thank you Chef
Thank you for sharing that it turned out amazing 💕
How is taste, need to add salt?
@@kriduro1956 no. Taste is awesome
Which type of cream did you use?
@Aida Abedi 35%. That is the best I can get in Ontario Canada
We have a Jersey dairy cow, so we skim the cream off of her milk to make fresh butter. It's a deep golden color (like Kerrygold) and it's incredible in flavor. I also started making it in my food processor because it breaks the cream in seconds. ❤
👍👍👍😊
We keep Jersey's also. There is a reason all the high end ice cream makers use Jersey milk. They have one of the highest butterfat concentrations of any breed.
How long does it last in the fridge? Store bought will last for months, but I assume it's loaded with preservatives to make it so.
@@ibealion1 even my mom makes butter from scratch; whenever she makes a big batch, she'll keep a small portion of it in the fridge and the rest she'll freeze it, usual she'll store that one for more than 45 days... We'll consume the one in the refrigerator within a week or two.
In Kerry!! We love butter 🧈
I make butter with my preschool class every year. They shake it in a cold jar with a couple of marbles. We add a little salt for flavor and spread it on a cracker or some toasted bread. The kids love it and it's always so good.
Thank you for mentioning you added a couple of marbles. Could that break the jar if you shook it too hard though?
That's good teaching the pre k kids
That's good to teach the pre k. We would have love it too. But back in my Era and kids Era. The home ec9nomic was only about. Brown and chocolate chips cookies and. Jit made it at home. And take it to school
Non of us in usa did learn anything good
@luv2travel2000 Sorry it took so long to reply. I didn't get an alert for anything. I've never had a jar break with the marbles. As the cream thickens the marbles get caught in it. They help the churning process. I end up shaking it the most because the kids get tired quickly. They love eating though. 😋
@@Jen.E Aww... that's lovely. This is a fun thing to learn and a good memory for them! 👍😊
This man’s enthusiasm for cooking is incredibly infectious. You make me exited to go to the kitchen
Chef, as always, your generosity with teaching and sharing is matched by no one. Thank you. I have learned so much from you.
Hi chef from jello master . I will never forget making butter by mistake ! I was apprentice cook at the time. Chef Pierre at northwood country club in dallas instructed me to place two gallons of heavy cream into big hobart mixer to make whipped cream. I started mixing it with the sugar and extract; then I left it too long. It was for a big party. HE was very mad at me but did not fire me ! I learned a lesson. We made more whipped cream in a hurry !
Many of us kitchen folk have found out accidentally how to make butter. Generally right after someone asks “hey where’s the whipped cream”. One time we ran out of butter and my chef told me to grab some cream. Then after we made it he smiled at me and said “ we turned $15 dollars of cream into $5 of butter.”
Am i tripping or does chef kind of sound like Rocky Balboa?
I burned 10 pounds of butter when clarifying it. And the owner witnessed it. Oops.
This is a whole lot easier than churning by hand. In the 60s, my grandma and me made made homemade butter from raw cows milk from her cousins farm. Hard to do but fun memories!
This is the first time I'm seeing this chef and loved watching him make butter so much that I'm going to get the ingredients to make my own when I've used up all of the store bought butter in my freezer.
Thank God for the person who developed the KitchenAid stand up mixer! Your mother and grandmother sure had a lot of upper body strength to do this for all those years!
I am so glad I came across you and didn't pass it up. You have to be putting smiles on thousands of faces. Thank you.
"Nothing we do is difficult my friends. I promise." Chef Jean-Pierre. These are the exact words I needed to hear today.
Yep, I learned years ago that making butter was as simple as beating heavy cream until it separates and so I tried it with my handheld mixer. It really is true! I haven't made it much lately, but it is easy. It's definitely worth trying yourself and it's very satisfying.
I never would have thought making butter was that easy. I even have the BIG kitchen aid mixer so I am all set to make a pound. Thank you for sharing Chef.
Chef Jean-Pierre was born to be in this profession. So down-to-earth and so humble! I’m trying this out. Great video!
Fresh butter! Wow. Your the real deal! I can't think of any other channels that teach these colonary fundamentals. Thank you Chief Pierre for your service and expertise ❤
I love butter. growing up, and until about 10 years ago all I had was "spread". I can't imagine going back, and this just takes it to the next level. I don't know when I'll get a chance to make my own butter like this, but it is now on my list. Thanks again.
Hello Wayne
how are you doing today?
I've wanted to make my own butter for a few years but assumed it would be both time consuming and technical. This was a fantastic video, informative and funny too. Many thanks
I love my bread and butter....in the Philippines, butter is so expensive.... Many thanks for sharing how this can be done in a most economical and efficient way....thanks for making my day and ensuring the best buttered toast! God bless you!
I love your sense of humor chef. That is the spice of life.
I love a person who's so passionate about teaching others this guy is one of em
On a trip to visit my aunt in Mississippi (we lived in SoCal, I still do) in the early 50’s my aunt would churn butter almost every day out on their huge covered patio and I still remember that taste on her homemade biscuits, fresh eggs and bacon and sausage gravy. Thick sliced sweet huge tomatoes. Even though us kids weren’t allowed to have that fresh ground coffee the smell of it percolating was mouth watering, my parents were ecstatic about it with the fresh thick cream. That was a memorable trip, and we would make that drive every couple years in the woody or subsequent station wagon. Us 4 girls, all almost 2 years apart, would sing Johnny Angel which became our long drive song lol. Oh, the memories.
I never knew i need this video in my life. It was like watching Bob Ross paint
🙏🙏🙏❤️
Chef Jean I appreciate your energy. Watching your videos always makes me feel good and entertained. Thank you
I used to make it in a mason jar from the cream in the bulk tank on our farm. Leave it set to room temp then shake until the butter forms then another 5-7 minutes shake time. Turn it out into a pot of iced water over a cheese cloth and rinse, change the water 3 times then squeeze out the water. Put it in a glass container and keep refrigerated. Takes about 15 minutes total for those who do not have a kitchen aid mixer
👍👍👍😊
We used to bring in hay to dairy farms like yours when we were kids. That bulk tank of raw milk is the closest thing to Nirvana that I've ever found.
Like drinking liquid vanilla ice cream.
Spend a couple hrs in the loft throwing bales around and chug 3-4 big glasses of that stuff..... MMMMMmmmmmm...
❤ thanks for teaching me coz I want to learned more about this business lard. And margarine .I'm a reels 🍞 maker ❤❤❤where we can buy I?
First time viewer, love this! My grandfather used to put cream in a jar and start shaking it. Then he passed it to each of the eager five grands to continue. Thru some unknown method there would be a burst inside the jar and solid butter with a small amount of liquid. Thanks for explaining the WHY! ❤️❤️👏🏽👏🏽
Some magic u mean.
I’ve done the same thing with my grandmother in a 1 gallon pickle jar we would wrap it in a towel and shake it for a while and hand it to the next person there was about five grandkids maybe six never have forgot that I’m 62 now
This is my very first time watching Chef Jean-Pierre. His joy is so intense and pure, very child-like, in the best way possible.
I love making butter for decades. I use a mixer and love to add honey! My friends are always impressed.
We just made our first batch of butter and it tastes a-ma-zing!!! As we live in Germany, we only had 32%-cream but it also worked, from 1 kg cream we got 400g butter. Many many thanks for this idea and the video!
Exactly, no proper cream in Germany.
This popped up on my time line and glad it did! What a cheerful, happy, enthusiastic guy ! Really enjoyed that.
If you haven't already, subscribe for continued fun. And look up the jan 1 compilation 1 million subscriber special of outtakes that his producer JACK made.
Chef Jean-Pierre is not lying when he says; once you make it, you will never want to buy it again. When I was young, I remember turning the cream from our cows milk into homemade butter in a old daisy butter churn. Best butter I ever had.
Btw, one of the best videos I have seen on making butter. Here is another great tip: 😊 if you make this butter out of yogurt, then make ghee, you will have access to 3000 year old secret of health from old Indian civilization, which even many Indians are not aware of. Ghee is clarified butter, which is like a medicinal herb for your skin, body, bones, and health. BUT, it needs to be made from yogurt cream. Yes, you read that right. THAT is the secret of real ghee. Many villages in India still make it that way. The trick? Make yogurt from whipping cream and then follow the procedure listed here. If you are over 50, ghee is especially important. Lots of videos on how to make ghee from yogurt but this one will do if you first make yogurt from whipping cream, then scrape off the fat cream from the yogurt and keep it, then make ghee the way it is made from that cream.
I made this for my daughter and granddaughters for Christmas last year. I was wise as to how to make fresh butter as a young girl I not only made butter with my Mom but milked the cow the fresh cream and milk came from!! Such a shame that things of old are not taught to this generation now. So much they miss out on.
start something in your neighborhood. bring some homemade butter to a neighbor. they ask how did you do it, ask them over to watch…snd so on and so on
I am simply amazed! I didn't know that butter could be made so easily! I can't wait to do this with my grandchildren.
Chef has now taught me to make my own "emotional support butter"! Well done as always Chef, you've taught me so much since I discovered your videos! Even my wife now loves my cooking.
#1 trick to cooking..... Confidence
Jean, you are so refreshing from the younger over stimulated RUclipsrs. You are Adorable! Thank you for keeping it enjoyable!
Why is it that I've never thought of making butter in my life but when Chef does it all of the sudden I want to try it? Love the video's Chef! Thank you!
Add salt to the ice water when you do it.
It will get extremely cold because of the salt and ice, then it will also season your butter and keep it very solid.
Thanks Chef! I enjoy your NY italian accent, you must of spent a lot of years in the states up north. : )
Back in my time I use to make butter by hand, saving the cream from freshly squeezed milk from the farm. You boil it, remobe the cream, feeze it, and do it over and over again, then you churn it and add salt, there is your home made butter. I also made cheese as well.
This method is covenient and quite simple.
Enjoy guys!
And remember, no more buying Amish butter!
Thank you 🙏
Why no more buying Amish butter?
Homemade butter really is easy to make and tastes amazing!
The biggest problem I have is not stopping and eating all the whipped cream:)
Yeah making butter 3 time more costly awesome in this time!
Hi there Jean-Pierre! I'm 73 years old and spent part of my growing up on a little farm. My mom would go around the corner to a dairy farm and buy milk in a glass gallon jar straight from the cow. When it sat overnight it had like 2 inches of cream on the top, so sometimes mom would use the cream for whipped cream or make butter using an electric mixer. It was delicious! I really miss those simple days. God bless you!!! 💗🎹🇺🇸🕊️🕊️🕊️
Wow! Brings back childhood memories! My grandparents had cows on their small farm and my grandmother used their milk in her old-fashioned churn. Our job was to sit and churn until the butter was ready(kid-powered!🙂). Fresh butter and buttermilk using milk straight from the cows that morning!!! There is absolutely nothing like it! I will definitely try this, Chef! Great video!
I also grew up on a farm and my Mom made the butter from our fresh milk every day. She would end up with much more than we could eat and was always giving it away to the neighbors. My Dad and brother liked the buttermilk - I did not and still don't.
@@ginger1549 me neither…but ohhh buttermilk BISCUITS 😋
Wow I did it.
FYI, Costco has 40% cream at a good price for 2 quarts.
I made 3 batches of butter with my sons girlfriend. We used 2 1/2 cups cream and 1/4 tsp salt each batch. One batch we made as a savory with fresh garlic, fresh green onions, dried chives, dried oregano and thyme. I decided to roll the butters into logs as it was easy to slice and serve. We had some of the savory butter on baked potatoes. Wonderful. The kids plan on putting it on fish when they cook it. Ooo it would be wonderful on steak. This was easy and a fun project.
👏👏👏👍😊
I just bought 4 sticks for $7 so this is great❤
At what point did you add the salt?
Omg… I can’t get enough butter 🧈!
It tastes so amazing!
‘Whip it good’… when my mum was a child it was her job to milk the cows and make the daily butter for the family and they used buttermilk in breads and cakes 🍰🧈🥞🧈🥐🧈🍞🥛cheers!
Thankyou. Brilliant. I have subscribed. I am smiling.... 😊👍
My great-grandmother used a Mason jar and shaked the cream while singing. Then we'd hear that 'swish' of buttermilk then the 'thump' of the butter being solidified. Best butter ever. I've made a few tweaks but I kinda still make it the way she did.
Wow, I had no idea it was that simple to make; thanks, Chef.
Chef! I've seen a lot of butter making videos and thought what else could I learn? Well I appreciate how you explained how the cream will go through different textures and the importance of starting out with cold elements, placing the butter in a mesh bag and rinsing in ice cold water very thoroughly. Simple! I love these tutorials. :-) Thanks chef!
I love Chef Jean-Pierre, entertaining, inspirational and I have learned so much from him.
Me too!!
Thanks chef I didn't know how it's made.🤓
