Norwegian term or phrase: slås om melk
"Fløten skulle skummes av og melka slås om, helles i stamp og surne til myse."

I can't really find any translation of this phrase. Can anyone please explain its meaning to me?

pour out


Explanation:
The term "slå ut melk" means pour out the milk or let it go to waste. Here I think it means moving the milk out of the container it is in and into the new container ("stamp"). Not quite sure about the "slå om" phrase though.
