Pom Ghee Clarified Butter
What it is
Pom Ghee is clarified butter made from cow's milk. It is butter that has had its water and milk solids removed, leaving behind pure butterfat. This process results in a rich, golden liquid with a high smoke point and a distinct nutty aroma. It is a staple in many cuisines for its versatility and flavor.
How people cook with it
This clarified butter is excellent for cooking at high temperatures and adds a unique depth of flavor to dishes.
- Sautéing vegetables
- Browning meats
- Finishing sauces
- Baking pastries
Pom Ghee can be used in place of regular butter or oil in a wide variety of cooking applications. Its high smoke point makes it ideal for frying, searing, and sautéing without burning. You can also drizzle it over popcorn, use it in baked goods for a richer flavor, or stir it into mashed potatoes. Its concentrated butter flavor enhances both sweet and savory dishes, providing a delightful richness.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike regular butter, Pom Ghee has had its milk solids removed. This means it has a longer shelf life, does not need refrigeration, and is lactose-free. The removal of milk solids also contributes to its higher smoke point and a more intense, nutty flavor profile.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike use Pom Ghee for its culinary advantages.
How to keep the rest
Store Pom Ghee in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It does not require refrigeration and can be kept at room temperature for an extended period. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent contamination.
