Home-made Butter
Home-made Butter

In Top Chelf: World All-Stars we see Chef Buddha making butter by hand, since he has no access to it from the pantry. 


Hand-crafted butter is surprisingly quick and easy and to layer onto hot toast, is far fresher and tastier than even the finest shop bought butter. 


Make it by pouring a pint of heavy cream into a stand mixer and whipping relentlessly until it separates, forming butter and buttermilk. Put it into a sieve, or into cheesecloth, and press all the buttermilk out, and then rinse the butter under cold water until the water runs clear, showing that you have removed all the buttermilk.

About Top Chef ™

Top Chef ™ is an American reality competition television series which has run since March 2006. The show features professional chefs competing against each other in culinary challenges.


The Top Chef ™ chef-contestants are judged by a counsel of exemplary, world-renowned professional chefs and famous names from the food and wine industry.

The contestants are superb, professional chefs with a huge array of global food skills.


The show is progressive, eliminating one or two chefs each week. Each episode follows a consistent theme with (usually) a Quickfire challenge (short and fun) followed by a more difficult "Elimination Challenge" that is much more intense. The Top Chef ™ Judges Table is where the winners and losers are determined each week.
