Traditionally cream from milk is always cultured for a few days and kept in a refrigerator or a cool and dry place. This accumulated cream is generally used for butter making process as it has a unique flavour of its own.
- Next step is to defrost the cream. It is possible by taking out the accumulated cream from refrigerator and leaving it out in open at room temperature for a minimum of forty to sixty minutes.
- Pour defrosted cream in such a jar so that it is convenient to use this blender.
- One must never fill the jar to maximum capacity as churning will not be possible. It is prudent to half fill the jar for better and fast results.
- Now switch the blender to position ‘’2’’ as moderate speed will help cream to form a uniform density.
- Cream will now start to smoothen and after few minutes it is better to flip blender to position ‘’3’’so as to increase its speed

- Now pour off excessive water and continue kneading with a spatula or a spoon until butter becomes a nice lump like a ball
