[ หˆtสƒษœrnษ™r ]

Noun
Context #1 | Noun

dairy production

A churner is a device or tool used to turn liquid cream into butter through the process of agitation. This process involves continuously moving the cream, causing the fat molecules to clump together and separate from the buttermilk. Traditionally, churners were manual devices requiring physical effort, but modern churners may be electric. The simplicity of the churner's mechanism allows it to be effective in both small-scale home production and larger, industrial settings.

Synonyms

butter churn, butter maker, cream separator.

Examples of usage

  • She used a traditional wooden churner to make butter.
  • The churner was essential for the dairy farmers in the region.
  • Electric churners have simplified the butter-making process.

Etymology

The term 'churner' is derived from the verb 'to churn', which has Old English origins, particularly from the word 'cyrnan', meaning 'to turn' or 'to agitate'. The use of a churn to produce butter dates back to ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians and Romans, who utilized various methods to separate butter from cream. Initially, churners were simple containers that required manual operation; however, their design evolved over the centuries. In the 19th century, the invention of the hand-cranked churn made the process more efficient. As the dairy industry grew, so did the development of larger, more sophisticated churners, suitable for mass production. Today, churners vary widely, from small home devices to large industrial machines, yet their fundamental purpose remains the same: to transform cream into butter.
