Make Butter in 10 Minutes or Less! | Chef Jean-Pierre

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.

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 🤪🤪

If I had a teacher like this in culinary school I don’t think I would quit like I did. His enthusiasm is so infectious ❤

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!

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!

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.

The way he talks about this, you can tell its not a job or hobby or requirement. Its love, its passion, its excitement

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❤

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 don't think i've ever smiled so much watching a cooking video. This mans passion is infectious.

I made butter for the first time today, with thanks to your help! I had my wife and daughter watching me, because they didn't think it was possible! It came out amazing! I did steal one of your jokes though, with a twist. I told my wife, "This is so easy a child can do this, and if you notice, I'm not Julia Child" I appreciate you taking the time, to show me how to be a better home cook. THANK YOU CHEF!

I can only ever hope to be as happy doing anything as this man is making simple butter

I love how he’s enjoying the butter at the end. “It’s Kweamy, it’s velvety”😁❤

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.

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.

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 😌

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.

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!!! 😋👍🏻🥰

There’s almost nothing better than a person who loves their craft so much that it radiates through them.

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 Youtube comment I've ever received. Thanks.
