Matt, I love your videos, but the background music in this video is much too loud and extremely distracting.
Thanks, Jim. You’re not the only one to note this; so I’ve cut that out going forward to be on the safe (and silenter) side. Cheers!
Clarified butter will last a year in the refrigerator and at least 3 months on the counter.
If you’re really fussy, strain through a few layers of cheesecloth.
Since learning about clarified butter for about 8 months now, and learning how factory made "vegetable" oils are terrible for your health and just yucky, I use clarified butter for all my cooking! Yummy! (Hint: SATURATED fat like butter is good for you, so is FULL cream milk - they lied to us in the past to sell there cotton seed and deadly Crisco, so on)
Now this is a UA-cam video. Excellent. All i needed to know. Thanks.
Thank you! 🙏
Hi im from india .also i live in mountain i have bilona method pure orgenic deshi ghee in reasonable price if anyone interested please let me know ❤
This is great! I'll no longer ditch a recipe because it mentions clarified butter. And, I vote yes--please do a video about ghee. Thank you!
Great! Thank you for watching 🙏
Clarified butter is ghee
he already made a video a ghee - THIS ONE. Clarified butter is ghee. He specifically didn't mention clarified butter as ghee so people from the west can understand it. It's annoying why he doesn't call it as it is - ghee.
@@fawli86 Ghee is NOT clarified butter. Ghee is the next step after clarified butter. You do not remove or strain off the milk solids when you make ghee. You continue to cook the butter slowly and allow the milk solids to sink to the bottom of the pan and brown a little. Then pour off the liquid. This removes ALL the water and creates a nutty flavor.
Actually ghee is made a bit differently@@fawli86 - so this isn't quite ghee level.
Would you mind mixing the music lower in volume on future videos? Or maybe just have music at beginning and end? Distracting - and I looooove your videos!!!
I really appreciate the feedback. I’ve been trying to make the videos more interesting with some music, and it’s good to know that the level is still too high. I like your idea of just using it in a limited scope. Thanks!
You're not supposed to skim off the foam...The foam is the milk solids which eventually sink to the bottom and slightly toast, giving the clarified butter a unique taste...The fat will still be clear and free from the milk solids...
Additionally...If you use salted butter to make clarified butter the salt also sink with the milk solids...I've made clarified butter many times using salted butter and the taste does not have even a hint of salt.
Try ghee
It's on my list!
Very informative and inspiring! Didn't know about the higher smoke point of clarified butter
Glad to hear it was helpful. Thanks for watching!
Clearfied Butter is commonly called as - " GHEE " .
Very commonly used in our INDIA 🇮🇳.

So, i contributed my 1 Like 👍🏻

Thank you!! 🙏
This was really informative. I always wondered why the butter I melt for crab legs isn’t as tasty as what I’m served when we go out to eat, even though I make sure to purchase real butter. Now I know! Thank you and have a Merry Christmas! -7 degrees and power outage in my neck of the woods today so won’t making clarified butter for awhile here.
Glad you found it helpful and Merry Christmas! Stay safe and warm as best you can. 🙏
In my experience frying an egg in butter means the whites will stick to the pan. Clarified butter, never.
Guessing because the milk solids stick but the grease doesn’t?
@@JonValtandtheEvilRobots Yep
Clarified butter was created for hash brown potatoes! 😂
Yum!
Thank you. This is information I’ve wondered about but never knew the answer.
Glad to hear. Thanks for watching!
We in india call it as Ghee, and been the way we use butter for thousands of years, best thing you don’t need to refrigerate it and stays good for quite a long time without any refrigeration, even if you leave the Jar in out open in hot sun
Can you use the leftover milk solids for anything?
Great question! I’m at a loss for good suggestions on that one, but if someone else out there knows, please chime in!
Very well done presentation, Enjoy your easy to listen-to style.
Thank you very much! Happy cooking, Chef!
Butter is not easy anymore at least in Canada, as the powers that be have changed what they feed that cattle, the butter doesn't get soft enough to spread on bread or toast and it doesn't taste the same, they are using soy which isn't healthy, to get real butter now we have to import it from Ireland, New Zealand, France or Italy.
In ontario. No issues with softness....

Never much interested in making clarified butter. Now that I know why, thanks to you I think I'll give it a go.
Right on! Hope you enjoy.
make sure it’s grass fed.. mooo
👌👌👌👌❤️❤️
Clarified butter is the same as ghee. I use only ghee in cooking. Vegetable oil in salads. Because vegetable oils, all of them become very unhealthy, when you heat them.
Please, make a video on cooking with ghee, vs cooking with vegetable oils for health benefits. 🙏🙏🙏
Hi im from india .also i live in mountain i have bilona method pure orgenic clarified butter in reasonable price if anyone interested please let me know ❤
I've watched several vids on how to clarify butter and my qst was to use salted or unsalted. Ur the only one I found who specified. TY.
Glad to hear. Thanks for watching! :)
Long time... Nice to catch one of your uploads.. I haven't even got around to doing those poached eggs
Glad to see you return! Thanks for watching and happy cooking :-)
Interesting about the smoke point of butter. I cooked some beef yesterday on the griddle and it set off the smoke, filled the house with smoke. But I didn't use any oil or butter.
Oof, I’ve done that before, too, with beef. That meat can create a lot of smoke over medium to high heat, especially if it’s on the fattier side. I actually do most of my higher-heat cooking of meat, poultry, and fish outdoors these days to not smell up the house.
Hi im from india .also i live in mountain i have bilona method pure orgenic deshi ghee in reasonable price if anyone interested please let me know ❤also if anyone wants to import im on❤
Very cool! Hello from California 👋
You dont have to use unsalted butter. Since salt is water soluble, and not fat soluble, salt will be separated from the fat
you don't even have to skim
Would love to see video using clarified butter
I just found your channel and have watched several of your most informative videos and have learned a lot. Thank you for sharing your education and experiences with us.
Thank you so much for watching! I’m elated to hear it’s helpful. Happy cooking 🙏
Huh! Interesting. Thanks. 👍

Excellent video, did you end up doing a video on how to make Ghee?
Thanks! Not yet on Ghee; I’ll have to put that on the docket for next year. 👍
I live 30 minutes from a grocery store. I make ghee regularly. I love the taste as it’s nutty, made pancakes and French toast for guests just yesterday. I love the fact that it’s shelf stable for months.
Yum!!

I’ve been making clarified butter with SALT in my restaurants for over 3 decades. I didn’t know I was doing it all wrong. Thanks for telling me. 🙄🙄🙄
Very informative. I cook with ghee quite often but have never actually made clarified butter. I must give it a try.
Thanks! It's quite easy. Just dice up some unsalted butter, cook over low and skim. When all the foam has risen and been skimmed, simply strain into a jar. It took me less than 10 minutes start to finish. Cheers!
Thank you I love you
Aw, thanks for watching and happy cooking!
I always have clarified butter on hand i actually prefer it to butter on toast etc. Also good for fish and chicken in a skillet.
Good to get the actual smoke point figures 👌

Great presentation - very much appreciated! Informative, concise, & well-spoken. And if you ever need a side-gig you can do a fill-in for Jimmy Fallon. Your body language is spot on.
Thank you very much! 🙏
I mix this with clear olive oil when searing scallops. The rest I melt down and dip the scallops into. So good!
This sounds mouthwatering 🙌

"Why use ghee over oil? Well simply put, flavor" 🙄what a joke
I like this guy. Except if all the milk solids have been removed in the clarification process, how are there some solids left to cook into ghee?
ghee in my opinion is not the same as clarified. Ghee is one step short of Clarified. Ghee does have more than just the oil which is why it does not last as long as clarified butter and really should be refrigerated for longevity.
India we called ghee
Ghee is great!
This is the only video I have seen on Clarified Butter that addressed the salted vs. unsalted butter question I had. Thank you so much for your "clarification".
So glad to hear! Thanks for watching and happy cooking!
Love this video, it was so helpful ❤
Glad to hear! Thank you 🙏
Why are you not calling it ‘ghee’? 🤔
ty for this
Thanks for watching! :-)
Very interesting, thank you. However what can you do with the solids after you pour off the clarified part? Can you use it for anything?
If there is a good use for them, I have yet to find it. Thanks for watching 🙏
Clarified butter ❌
🇮🇳 Ghee✅✌️
Very informative video thank you
Thank you for watching 🙏
All this was normal in the West before corporations, advertising, marketing, and mass food processing took over. Same thing is done with lard.
Alright, everyone has to take a drink every time he says “butter.”
🤣
@4:20 Wait.. did i hear that right? Clarified butter might last a week or longer in the fridge? I keep non clarified butter in the cupboard for weeks at least.. to keep it spreadable to start with.
I've found that works best for me with clarified butter. That said, I also keep a bar of regular, store-bought butter in a dish on the counter because I, too, like its spreadability. As for homemade butter -- link to video here: ua-cam.com/video/7EODoP9pMHY/v-deo.html -- I've found it's best stored in the fridge. Cheers!
We keep ghee in room temperature here in India and it stays good for weeks if not months
Great review
Thank you! 🙏
That's ghee! not clarified or whatever
They might be called cousins. The term ghee is usually described as clarified butter that has been cooked longer until it turns a deeper golden color and takes on a more intense flavor. Hope this helps (wait for it) clarify the two names 😀
Will clarified butter be good for cookies ?
I’d say it depends, but generally speaking I believe regular butter will serve you better in baking. Regular butter can cream better when blending, and it should lend better taste and mouth feel. That said, there are some special use cases where ghee (clarified butter that’s been cooked longer) can add a nice nuttiness. Great question! 🙏
Did you end up making a GHEE video.
Gah! Not yet. Thanks for the reminder 🙏
That's not original ghee
Nope, it’s clarified butter. As I said in the video, it needs to be cooked more to become ghee. Cheers!
Thanks for clarifying
Lol I see what you did there! 😀
Very punny!😂
Regular butter lasts months in the fridge. Is saying clarified butter lasts "a week or longer" than regular butter really making a notable difference?
Maybe if you need it that week… 😅
Ur flames needs to be adjusted Need more air mixture for blue flames. Yellow flames touching the pot can will cause soot (black bottom) and co
