I date everything in my kitchen. Most times I label it in this format:
Name of product
Date processed
Example:
Chimichurri
6/13/25
Since this is an unmistakable product, the name is unnecessary

Thank you for again reiterating how much if a cooklet you really are
>>21558234 >clarified butter is better than any oil in terms of flavor.
uhh, I'd take olive oil over that silliness. I kind of like the milk solids IN the butter for their flavor.

I haven't clarified butter in ages so I took this as a sign and started a new batch. Problem is though I've had it going for close to 2 hours now and it just won't clarify. How much longer do I need to keep this Country Crock on the stove till it finishes?
I make two pints of ghee every month.* It doesn't go rancid when I backpack for 10-14 days, and ghee has a high smoke point. Also, imparts no flavor to foods cooked with it, despite the butterscoth smell it has.
Clarified butter is once boiled and skimmed at the top. Ghee is clarified butter that is vigorously boiled and whisked until the remaining solids fall to the pan bottom and browns in the mailliard reaction, or burns if not whisked fast. Each has different properties.

i don't use it consistently enough to always have it on hand but once in a while i'll make it. it's easy and they charge like twice as much as butter for it already made.
i prefer making it with unsalted butter so i can use the browned solids on bread or rice or something, it tastes pretty good. you can still use it with salted butter but it's basically butter flavored salt so you can't just spread it on bread.
