Although the separation of milk and cream was practiced for domestic uses, it really became common/popular with the development of a rudimentary commercial dairy industry. - Function
-
Whole unhomogenized milk if allowed to sit will separate into a layer of milk and a layer of cream. This wide flat pan, sometimes called a settling pan serves to aid that process. The cream was scooped off the surface of the milk so it could either be used or sold. - Technical
-
Settling pans were one of the earliest methods of separating whole milk into its two constituent parts. More sophisticated devices followed until eventually the introduction of the cream separator used centrifugal force to "split" milk and cream. - Area Notes
