There are a number of factors that are responsible for the quality of butter formed, like, temperature of cream, quality, etc. Following are the steps on churning butter. Step #1: Cream Formation You can use milk of cow or any other animal, like, goat, buffalo, etc. Collect the milk in a clean container and allow the milk to cool in a refrigerator (12 hours at least). A layer of cream will be formed on top of the milk. Separate this cream from milk by skimming it slightly. You can do this with the help of a spoon. Collect the cream in a jar with a tight lid.

...Discussion - "Mr. Peanut's Alter Ego Leads Kraft Into Planters Butter" - Can Planters succeed in the peanut butter business? What do you think of its strategy of targeting adults? How would you position Planters peanut butter to compete with strong incumbents? - Due Sunday, October 14th I agree on what you are saying. For company perspective, Planters, as “nut experts”, can modify and enhance current products to produce new products. For customer’s perspective, they do not care about how the product arrived in the marketplace. They care about how the produce suit for them. Planters did really well in nut products, and they have enough experience and loyal customers. However, Planters have lots of competitors. So, I just say that Planters have an opportunity at succeeding. The company may fail, but it depends on how the strategy they use. I really agree he say that adults’ purchase habit will affect future generations. Adults will be great target, but I think we still need to detail the adult target. The different products will get more profits and customers, such as sugar added peanut butter for someone really like the taste of peanut, or low fat peanut butter for women. In China, you can find lots of the same cases like Planters. Most of succeeded companies focus on advertisement. They spend large amounts of money to promote their new products. You can see their products in TV, newspapers and website. They change your mind step by step from being aware of the products...

...Changing certain aspects of butter production may result on modified properties of the butter product, like flavour, odour, or consistency. Changing the manufacturing scheme may have affect on the final product too. In this report, this two aspects on butter making are discussed. Cooling, ripening, and churning temperature are the main aspect that influence churning efficiency and churning time of butter. Churning efficiency illustrates the amount of fat that is still present on the buttermilk, while churning objective is to separate the fat from the milk, and the churning duration has important role on determining the butter quality. High churning effieciency is a consequence of low fat content in buttermilk. Variations on cooling and churning temperature during butter making were applied on several butters. Pre-cooling the butter deep enough is necessary to prevent undercooled fat globules present. Therefore, higher pre-cooling temperature will give higher fat content in buttermilk. It is also observed that higher churning temperature would result on lower churning time. At the same time, faster churning time will lead to higher fat content in buttermilk. The purpose of ripening is to compromise for optimal starter growth and to crystallise the fat. Lower cooling temperature leads to more triglycerides could be crystallized (solid fat). The temperature of cooling is most crucial for making butter softer and must be set at the end of lower melting range of the fat...

...When looking at the children’s story, The Butter Battle Book, by Dr. Seuss, the alternative perspective suggests that the story is attempting to represent the conflicts between the United States and Soviet Union during the Cold War. To begin, there is clear evidence of tension between the Yooks and the Zooks due to their differences. The dispute between the two sides is that the Yooks eat their bread with the butter side up: “But we Yooks…honest way!” (Seuss. 6), while the Zooks consume their bread with butter side down: “It’s high time…side down!” (Seuss. 5). This relates to the tension built up between the US and USSR during the Cold War due to their different ideologies. The US was capitalist and had a democratic government, while the Soviet...

...My girlfriend is a peanut butter nutter. This is my tale of surviving a creamy vs crunchy warzone. Based on actual events. * * * I arrived back at the flat after a long session of sculpting out perfect pectorals in the gym to face my girlfriend attempting a 'Joey' (see here) before unleashing a torrent of abuse in my direction. The crime? Buying crunchy peanut butter. She acted like crunchy peanut butter was dangerous — saying the nuts inside would cut the roof of her mouth. She was saying that creamy was dreamy. My girlfriend, Leila Sanie, is a creamy peanut butter enthusiast, and she asked me which one I actually preferred. I brought the crunch down on her. An aimless debate sparked and a peanut-buttery bloodbath ensued: names were called, punches were thrown and nutritional facts were read. Things got nutty. I asked how many people in the room knew that George Washington Carver, the creator of peanut butter, ate the crunchy type. Leila and I both raised our hands. One of us wasn’t telling the truth. You see, Leila spreads her lies like she spreads her creamy peanut butter to the very edges of underdone pieces of toast. Some of her peanut butter propaganda included, “I like my peanut butter as smooth as my personality,” and, “That statement is as hard to swallow as your crunchy peanut butter.” It ended up something like this I could’ve let it go. But I, like most Brits, will fight tooth, claw and nail to prove that my opinion...
