LOL, Clarified butter's short longevity (meaning it doesn't take long for me to go through what I make), is second only to "Moose Tracks" ice cream around me. I have always used clarified butter for cooking and flavoring... nothing better for drowning my pop corn. After seeing the process that the popular vegetable oils (known as "RBD" oils) sold in the supermarkets (Canola, Corn, Safflower, etc) goes through to produce them... using hexane to extract more of the oil from the seed/grain, then refined using Lye, and then bleached and deodorized to the soulless oil that it is.. no thanks!! In fact ... refined Canola (rapeseed) oil is used as an industrial lubricant... yummy. Looking forward to see where you take this channel.
There is so much crap that "they" put in our food that it seems they do it on purpose. I try to greatly minimize the processed oils as much as possible. Clarified butter is a fantastic answer to that issue! I hope that you will enjoy the recipes I bring to this channel and that you will enjoy them as much as I do. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
I recently learned about the process they put "Seed oils" through to make them and have decided to do my best to cut them out of my diet as much as possible. That's when I found out about clarified butter and ghee. Avocado oil is not only expensive but from my understanding cooking any oil, even the "good" ones at high heat more or less nullifies any beneficial properties that they had in the first place. I could be wrong and need to go over the source material for that. I was able to find ghee in my local grocery store but from what I understand nobody really sells clarified butter so I was looking for videos on how to make it myself and found this. Thank you for the video, I will be trying it soon enough.
I think you will really enjoy it. It has so many uses in the kitchen for enhancing food as well as cooking food. I prefer to make my own so that I know exactly what is in it. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
I can't seem to find an authoratative opinion on the difference between ghee and clarified butter! Some say they are identical others say ghee is cooked longer until the milk solids on the bottom of the pan browns and adds a special nutty flavor that makes it ghee. Some say a great finesse is needed in the ghee cooking process so it will not become bitter from over browning the milk solids. Anyway, I've bought ghee and it's expensive so I plan to try this myself. I'll start with just a stick in a tiny sauce pan to see how it goes. It makes popcorn sing superano !
Both are clarified butter but cooking the ghee longer does make that taste of a nuttier flavor. So you are correct. Either way you can't really go wrong. I like dipping crab legs in ghee more so than just clarified butter due to the added flavor. Thanks for the question and for watching!
Very good video! I’ve thought about doing this, but never did. I didn’t realize that the smoke point on clarified butter was so high! This has motivated me to try it! I have avocado oil and olive oil in my cabinet now. But if I could replace them with clarified butter, that would be great!
Glad it was helpful! I think you will find that clarified butter is very versatile in your cooking and best of all, you can make it at home. Best of luck. I hope you enjoy it if you decide to make some. Thansk for the comment and for watching.
I would recommend using a Tea Strainer to remove the moisture from the top. Less waste. Also, unless you think that you have more than 3 months supply, do you really need to use Cheese Cloth?
Hi Don! Clarified butter has a more rich and creamy buttery taste, so I would guess that you could use it to add a buttery flavor to any food. It is an all around good choice for cooking. Hope this helps. Thank you for watching.
It will solidify whether left out or in your fridge. I keep a small jar out on my counter in my kitchen to use short term and the rest I store in my fridge and take out as needed. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
Thanks for the sub. I used unsalted for my clarified butter. You can use either one, but unsalted will give you more control over flavoring your food . Thanks for watching and for the comment.
Unsalted is preferred, however you can use salted if you prefer or if you cannot get unsalted butter. I hope this helped. Thank for the comment and for watching!!
It is just a different flavor. You can use either one for multiple things in your kitchen. Ghee is just made by cooking the butter a little longer. Try both and see what you prefer. Thanks for watching and for the comment.

Thank you for clarifying this😉 I will try this
I would recommend using a Tea Strainer to remove the moisture from the top. Less waste. Also, unless you think that you have more than 3 months supply, do you really need to use Cheese Cloth?
first of all thank you for this video I have 2 questions 1 what is the difference between ghee and clarified butter? and 2 can you use salted butter?
Awesome. Thank you!!
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching and for the comment.
Thanks
Wow I did not that thanks 👍👍👍👍👍👍
New to channel, like what I see so far
Glad to have you here! With the new year, I will have some great videos coming out! Thanks for watching and for the comment.
Until I started working at one of the best prime steak houses in New Orleans, I didn’t know the importance of clarifying butter!
NOICE!
Glad you like it, hope you try it! Thanks for watching!
Some people say the smoke point of butter is 250? So is it safe to say it’s in between 250 and 350?
Would I need to adjust the boiling time if I want to make a half batch?
No just keep an eye on it so you do not burn the milk solids that will sink to the bottom. Thanks for the comment and for watching!!
Scott, what is the flavor of clarified butter? Like for instance, can you use it for flavoring or adding a butter flavor to something?
Hi Don! Clarified butter has a more rich and creamy buttery taste, so I would guess that you could use it to add a buttery flavor to any food. It is an all around good choice for cooking. Hope this helps. Thank you for watching.
@@fearofcooking Thanks Scott. I don't think I have ever really understood if it kept it's flavor or became flavorless.
Hi Scott, does the clarified butter stays liquid or does it become solid again?
It goes solid if your kitchen is cold. But get a spoon s as no scoop it out ;it’s not that hard in the jar)
It will solidify whether left out or in your fridge. I keep a small jar out on my counter in my kitchen to use short term and the rest I store in my fridge and take out as needed. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
Are you using salt or unsalted butter? Great video btw. Subbed, rung the bell and like 👍number 349 👏
He stated un-salted in the video.
Thanks for the sub. I used unsalted for my clarified butter. You can use either one, but unsalted will give you more control over flavoring your food . Thanks for watching and for the comment.
Clarified butter IS what you dip your lobster into. Ghee is solid.
Thanks for the comment and for watching.
I got halfway through your video and I have determined this is the first time you've ever made clarified butter
Does it matter weather salted or unsalted?
Unsalted is preferred, however you can use salted if you prefer or if you cannot get unsalted butter. I hope this helped. Thank for the comment and for watching!!
The main reason for using unsalted is it allows you to control the amount of salt in whatever recipe you’re using.
I make my butter and I can my butter..shelf life 5 years
That is awesome. I have made butter before, but it never lasts long enough to store...LOL Thanks for watching and for the comment.
is GHEE better?
It is just a different flavor. You can use either one for multiple things in your kitchen. Ghee is just made by cooking the butter a little longer. Try both and see what you prefer. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
i just microwave it rofl
