Canada

The deep setting method separating skim milk and cream were being pattented and put on the market by the 1860s. While larger dairy operations may have used cabinets that contained multiple cans kept in cold water, most farm families would have used the relatively inexpensive alternative of a cream can like this one. General Steelwares of Winnipeg continuted to make cream cans well into the 1940s for those farm families who kept only one cow.

Fonction

Used to separate milk into cream and skim milk.

Technique

This cream can works on the principle that cream is lighter than the skim milk and rose to the top. A tap at the bottom of the can allowed the skim milk to be drained off. A viewwing window next to the tap let the use see where the contents changed from skim milk to cream.
