Milsani Clarified Butter
What it is
This is clarified butter, also known as Ghee in some traditions. It is made by heating butter and removing the milk solids and water. This process results in a pure butterfat that has a higher smoke point than regular butter. It has a rich, buttery flavor that is concentrated due to the removal of other components. The texture is smooth and liquid when warm, solidifying at room temperature.
How people cook with it
Clarified butter is a versatile cooking fat. It is excellent for high-heat cooking methods.
- Searing meats
- Frying eggs
- Baking pastries
- Sautéing vegetables
Use clarified butter in any recipe that calls for butter, especially when you need a higher cooking temperature. Its elevated smoke point makes it ideal for pan-frying, stir-frying, and deep-frying without burning. It can also be used in baking, though the absence of milk solids may slightly alter texture in some delicate recipes. For sauces and finishing dishes, its pure butter flavor adds a wonderful richness. It melts and browns beautifully, enhancing the visual appeal and taste of cooked foods.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike regular butter, clarified butter has had its water and milk solids removed. This means it won't burn as easily at high temperatures. It also has a longer shelf life and a more intense, pure butter flavor without the risk of milk solids scorching.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs use clarified butter for its superior cooking properties and rich flavor.
How to keep the rest
Store the remaining clarified butter in a cool, dark place. It does not require refrigeration and can be kept at room temperature for an extended period. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to prevent oxidation and maintain freshness.
