Has anyone been able to make butter out of anything besides cream? How?

Thanks!

I don't think it really matters, since in the rules it explicitly states to use cream. That being said, I have not tried.

Thanks!

Another question for anyone, is anyone getting any curds to form from regular milk and such? After using lemon juice, nothing but a pile of slush...

How is everyone getting butter. We used lots of shaking but it is not separating out. Is it due to the type of cream, or something faulty with our technique.

How long are you shaking for?

[Gr]

We tried for 10 minutes and then for 15 minutes, no butter.

It might be the speed/power at which you are shaking.

The "pile of slush" is a stage. You have to wait for a bit to let the curds coalesce, thus the necessity of a cheesecloth, to drain excess liquid.

Has anyone by any chance gotten a good amount of cheese, or just a few grams of curds?

My partner and I got the most by using whole milk and vinegar, but we didn't get that much. I can't remember off the top of my head how many grams we got (my partner has the notebook).

A quick question out there. In a recent invitational in Ohio, the supervisors used a different rule for ice cream. They gave 10 points for whoever got the tallest tower, 9.5 for the second tallest and so forth. So whichever team got the shortest got 0 points. Is this even allowed?
