Tips from Chefs to Chefs

Clarified butter is used for baking, frying and cooking. It is particularly suitable for deep-frying and frying, but is also perfect replacement as a fat ingredient in various recipes

Step by Step

01

You need a sufficiently large saucepan or pot, a heat- resistent fine-mesh strainer and a heat-resistant container for storing the clarified butter.

02

Slowly melt the butter at low heat to prevent bubbles from forming.

03

Gradually increase the heat to bring the butter to a slow boil, which separates the milk solids from the fat.

04

Remove the pot from the burner and let stand for a few minutes to let the separated milk solids sink to the bottom

05

Slowly pour the butter through a fine-mesh strainer into a heatproof container to remove the solids. Take care not to pour the solids from the bottom of the saucepan into the container.

06

Sufficiently clarified butter should have a light golden colour and be completely free of milk solids. Clarified butter can be used immediately or tightly covered and refrigerated for up to ten days.
