I just put the tip just under the cream and suck it up, then squirt it into a mason jar. Takes about 3 minutes, but I have complete control over it. We just leave the milk jug in the fridge for a few days til we can see it separate to the top 3rd, the suck it out. We leave about 1/4" of cream and shake that into the rest of the milk.

You are supposed to use skimmed milk to make it and then if you want add a little cream back in if you want a creamier texture. Since some of you mentioned the spigot being a bit high on the jars I am wondering if you just poke a smallish hole in the side of your milk jug & catch the milk in another jar/pan you would theoretically have nothing but cream left in the original container. Next time I get milk I am going to try this. The reason I want skimmed raw milk is to try and make cottage cheese.

Again, I am not sure but they said the farmers felt the cream had the most nutrition and energy so they used the cream and fed the rest of the milk to their animals. I spent a great deal of time trying to figure out how to use a glass container to separate the skin milk from the cream without spending a great deal of money on the Dent Jar. Now I see in print what I had to figure out by myself. From what I understand, there was a glass jar called a Dent Jar that was used to separate the cream from the skin milk.

Can you let us know please what the temperature should be for separating, because I suppose it will take some time, right? So say we separate it in room temperature, is the skimmed milk still good for use in yoghurt or cheese after a day? Thanks for the tips Kristen.

I've been searching the web for good ideas for the skimmed milk, haven't found anything yet. I don't enjoy drinking it without the cream. And what do the small dairies do with it? Mine only sells whole raw milk, and they have butter and cream and cheese, etc. What do THEY do with the skimmed milk? Hmmm... Me too!
