It doesn't take a lot of time, only about 15 minutes if you do it on the stovetop. And you can get a pound of organic butter for less than $7, you end up with about 12 ounces of ghee.

Hmmmm...

Even electric stovetops? 'Cause I don't want to tell you how many disasters, including burnt pans, I've had whereas I had none when I had gas in Boston area.

That's a "Good Thing?" /MarthaStewart]

I've done it on an electric before, with no problems. But on the stove top, you can't turn your back on it. It can go from ghee to brown butter to beurre noir fast.

That was a thumbs up of understanding.

Yup! I've had that happen on electric enough! I hardly use butter at all anymore to cook with.

It took a while, but this thread just passed Iowhinian's Camp Confidential thread. ROFL ROFL

Well, then I'll have to bump it!

I hardly ever cook with plain butter as my oil. Burns too easily.

This is why.

For some reason, "Melting Butter" sounds like a good name for a movie.:hmmm:

But ghee doesn't burn like that. Ghee has a very high smoke point.

Yes I know. I learned that from you a few threads earlier. In fact, when I was at my organic/natural supermarket I saw that jar on the shelf, and if it weren't for you I would have passed right by it without a second thought.

Now, see what you've done. You got me spending. :p

I'm trying to get you to try making your own again. :harumph:

From "Chocolat" to "Butter"... One is a French Romance, the other the Trailer Park version of the same..
