Separate the cream from the milk with your own hands

In production, a special apparatus is used to extract cream - a separator. At home, you can separate cream from milk without equipment and without any special equipment.

How is cream formed?

Cream is a dairy product obtained from milk during the process of skimming it; in other words, it is the fat-containing part of milk. To separate them, always use homemade, full-fat milk. A sufficient indicator is from 4%. The natural product contains no additives that will affect the taste, quantity and quality of the cream. You will not get cream from store-bought homogenized milk.

The most delicious cream is separated using a separator, but not everyone can afford such a purchase.

The resulting product is quite fatty (20-25%, depending on the milk taken), tasty and tender cream. Use them to make desserts, drinks, whip them into butter or make sour cream.

How to assemble: simple method

To collect the cream, just let the milk sit until a clear border appears on top. A fatty product will be higher.

Collection instructions:

1. Pour the milk into a clean container: jar, dish, glass. It is better to take glass containers, through the walls of which the dividing line will be visible.
2. Refrigerate the product for at least 12 hours.
3. The cream will collect on its own at the top of the dish, the milk will remain at the bottom.
4. Using a spoon, carefully separate the cream from the milk. It is better to find an unnecessary device made of thin metal and bend it like a scoop. Or use a small ladle.
5. Do not shake the jar to avoid accidentally mixing the two products.
6. From the first time, approximately 1/10 of the milk goes into cream.

The milk can be infused again. This time it will take at least a day to get a greasy top layer.

Working with a separator at home

If you have a home separator, then it is wiser to use it. Why does the device sometimes separate cream poorly, and how can I adjust it?

There are several reasons for the incorrect operation of the separator:

1. Parts (rubber gaskets, brushes) are worn out.
2. You use hot milk (take cold, no higher than 40 degrees).
3. Incorrect installation of the creamer.

If the milk is not separated, inspect the structure for wear, clean it, and tighten the milk supply screw. If necessary, replace the O-ring on the rotor.

Cream is very tasty, but do not forget that you need to control the amount of fatty product in your diet.
