jayci Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Hello, If I get real milk from a cow. How do I extract the cream from the milk? And, to make butter, is it just cream, a pinch of salt and whip it up? Also, how can I make a simple cheese from real milk? Oh and one other thing, how do I make yogurt from real milk? Thanks.

Ira Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 I think this thread would be better in the off topic forum as it has absolutely nothing to do with the website. Oh and google is your friend. From googling "How to make cream" it appears no you can't make cream unless you have access to un homogenised milk. Here is the first result on google for "How to make butter" http://www.allotment.org.uk/allotment_foods/Making_Butter_at_Home.php Here is the first result on google for "How to make cheese" http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/cheeserecipes.htm Here is the first result on google for "How to make yogurt" http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Yogurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imsweet Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 If I get real milk from a cow. How do I extract the cream from the milk? . Put the milk into a bottle, glass is good so you can see it. Let it stand for a bit, the cream will sit on the top. Carefully pour off. Preferably onto weetbix..... yumm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 cream will float on top butter is cream beat way past the whipped cream stage and usually with salt added, cheese can be mik or cream or both which is curdled with rennet which im not sure but i think it is calfs stomach acid, the whey (liquid) is normally discarded and they curds (solids) are pressed into a mold and allowed to set variuous cultures can be added to make different types of cheese with different flavours i think u can get home cheese making kits somewhwere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Homogenised milk is passed at high pressure through a small jet so that the milkfat is broken up and then it does not rise to the top. Hence straight from the cow etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David R Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Who was it that figured out you could get milk from cows and what the heck was he doing at the time?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreedingFrenzy Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Who was it that figured out you could get milk from cows and what the heck was he doing at the time?! LOL! They probably figured if they can get it from humans, surely they can get it from female. Surely you've seen Meet the parents where he says he milked a cat?

Caryl Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 When I was a child (yes, many years ago) we had our own cow and she was milked daily. We then separated the cream (nothing like thick, fresh cream on your porridge) and also made our own butter. No idea how we did it as I was a child and didn't care :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
