This was a device to emulsify milk and butter back to a cream. I'm
looking for one or more to buy or trade.

They were made in the UK and I can't find any info on the company and
have seen a reference that says they're out of business.

Anybody know anything about the maker or the product?

TIA.

Bob,

I wish I could help. I bought one of these back in the late 1970s. I
tried numerous times, but was never able to get it to work properly.
Somewhere along the line I either gave it away or threw it out.

It's a great concept. Did you ever use one before? Did it work?

Sorry...

G I had one and couldn't seem to get it to work, either. The
principle seems simple enough, put the milk and butter under pressure
and squirt them together through a small hole and they'll emulsify.
Should work.

I wonder if there's any other sort of device to do the same thing.

It's called a "cow", although this device can start with grass.

Yup - a fork! Just cream the butter softened with the milk, adding it a
little at a time... Takes a while, and works best with a little icing
sugar added. I've done it, but its a pain in the bum as it takes a
while. It's ok for slopping on apple crumble, but you won't get
anything whipable to shove in a cake.

Wow. Is that, like, a new thing? Who makes them? I looked on Ebay and
they don't seem to have any?

What a cool idea. Grass in, cream out. What will they think of next?

Well actually it's "Grass in, Milk out". Then you have to separate the
cream.

How DO they separate the cream?

I looked in a book and saw a picture of "cow." They appear to have
separate faucets for the milk and cream, although it didn't
specifically mention that. It would certainly be logical if they did.
Why else have so many outlets?

I think they separate the milk and cream by putting them into
different bottles and storing them in different locations. Just a guess.

Hehehehehe!

The cream is fattier and floats on top of the milk: it's then skimmed
off. You need to let it stand for a while for separation to happen.

Is this for 1970s food re-enactments? Soggy de-emulsifying trifle
by candlelight to commemorate the Three-Day Week?

They turn up in car boot sales occasionally. I'll keep an eye out
for one, and maybe any of the other British readers of this group
who regularly frequent car boot sales could do the same. Do you
need a Green Lady or Crying Boy picture to go with it?

A centrifuge is used, and this method has been used for quite a long time.
When I was a kid I saw an old-timer demonstrating foot-treadle-powered
rotary skimmer.

That's only if the milk and cream haven't been able to play nicely
together....

Don't be silly. Cream is fattening and fat people are heavier than
skinny people. That means it would sink to the bottom.

The logic is irrefutable.
