- I have got a churn it is about five ft high and about four ft broad. There is no mark at the bottom of it. The churn is done once a week in winter. You put some cream and put some water in it if needed. But you need not put too much hot water in, in case it would scald the butter.
The different parts are the churn, the staff, the lid, the cap. The butter dish and butter spades the splasher.
