Clarified Butter Is The Ultimate Cooking Oil!

[@mencken8]

So- today’s big scientific discovery is….ghee?

[@thehungryhussey]

So, today’s discovery for you is, it’s not ghee, it’s clarified butter. 😂 Ghee is heated to a higher point and browns the solids. Two different things bud.

[@kirok3184]

Then, why does my jar of ghee say, 'clarified butter' ? I guess someone should contact the FDA and tell them that all of the jars of ghee should be recalled cause it's not really clarified butter like it says on the label. Sort of, like, them recalling Kirkland butter cause the label doesn't say 'contains milk' (uh duh)

[@thehungryhussey]

@kirok3184 , ghee is still clarified butter, ingredient wise. It’s heated higher to roast the milk solids. That nuttiness is what I’m not fond of.

[@kirok3184]

@@thehungryhussey Another comment said ghee is darker. My jar is white like solid coconut oil. But, no matter. I use both ghee and regular butter (that contains milk even if it's not on the label) 😁 I'm not a cook whatsoever. I just grab what's within arms length. 👍

[@jaychapman2045]

Ghee still contains solids that is the difference clarified butter oil does not contain water or solids. I make both professionally with 23 years of experience. Clarified butter oil is an ingredient in ghee. One thing that is likely absent on your ghee is the words "European style' .as this is the more refined version. The burnt solds add an additional flavor which is understandable for use in fried breads and shellfish.

[@JosephRentz-b9z]

This video just clarified everything, thanks!

[@thehungryhussey]

The clarity is real!!! 😂

[@ConchFritter73]

I make it all the time; but I only do two sticks of butter in a batch. That much will last me a week or so, using it to cook eggs, biscuits, and hash browns. After spooning out the foam, I then spoon the hot butter thru a coffee filter to keep out the solids at the bottom.

[@mikeprichard7933]

I've never done this but this is how I was told to do it

[@thehungryhussey]

I’ve heard of using a coffee filter but never used it. May have to try.

[@gentoonix]

I use a fine mesh stainless pour over coffee filter.

[@jaychapman2045]

I use a centrifuge, homogenizer, and vacuum chamber to make 99.9% clarified butter oil. I'm an expert in this field.

[@fredwilliams9572]

Watching you for years. Always learning and getting better on the Blackstone thanks to you. Will I make this? Hell yes! I am into flavor.

[@thehungryhussey]

Thanks Fred!! It’s a small labor of love but worth it.

[@danprout3512]

Huss daddy!! Never knew how to make or store it. Thanks for teaching us something new!!

[@thehungryhussey]

Thanks for watching buddy!

[@projectturbocoupe4897]

An amazing companion for the flat top. Worth every minute it takes to make it!

[@thehungryhussey]

For sure my friend!!!

[@chris27289]

Clarified butter and beef tallow are two amazing things to cook with.

[@thehungryhussey]

You are absolutely right!

[@bobbicatton]

Truly is a labor of love. I don't typically make it, but dang it makes everything taste so much better!👍😊

[@thehungryhussey]

It definitely is!

[@smiley9872]

I love using clarified butter, it is the best. I like to use a wide neck jar, because in our temps it hardens. It's fine in the fridge for 6 months at least. I use muslin or cheesecloth to strain it into liquid gold.

[@thehungryhussey]

It’s so dang good!!!

[@sissajoy0911]

I used ghee to make stovetop popcorn.....touched my heart!! So delicious!!!!

[@thehungryhussey]

It’s so good!!! Thanks for watching!!!

[@beeman1885]

I make mine a little different. I gently heat it till it boils then stops and go till it hits 260F. The water is gone but the solids haven’t browned yet. No skimming. Then I just pour it all through a paper towel that catches all the solids. Works well for so many things including seasoning cast iron cookware. I keep it in a lidded wide mouth bowl on the counter so I can spoon it out.

[@thehungryhussey]

Would need to try that. Thanks for the tip. I've always gone quick and dirty. haha

[@beeman1885]

@ I got that technique from the old Food Network show Good Eats with Alton Brown.

[@handgunner45ACP]

I have to wonder how a gravy/grease separator would work? Might be an easier way to separate to floating solids. I agree with you on ghee, funky taste...

[@robertbernal3180]

That’s great info with the butter. Definitely going to have some handy for next time on my griddle. Great video Hussey. Definitely going to make some soon.

[@thehungryhussey]

Thanks buddy, you're gonna love it!

[@jeffsawyer8468]

New loyal subscriber to your channel. Greetings from Chicago. Heard of this never knew the Intel behind it. Definitely going to make and use this religiously. Big time cook and griller. Definitely a game changer. Best of life for you and your family. God bless 🙏🙏🙏

[@thehungryhussey]

Thanks for watching buddy! Appreciate the support!!!

[@9liveslisa]

Thank you for this video. I've seeing ghee all over the place, but I've never cooked with it, so I haven't bought it yet. I also appreciated your review about the taste of ghee. I will make some clarified butter and have a good time cooking and eating!

[@thehungryhussey]

Ghee is a tad different. They cook the whole thing longer and it browns the milk solids and whey, which gives the taste a nutty flavor. Clarified butter is just basically melted butter and skimmed solids.

[@jeffreystone7327]

Matt, thanks for the insight and advice. Will definitely be doing this. Enhanced flavor and a chance to be using the Blackstone. Being new I can watch the various temperatures. Will this help with seasoning as well. Greatly appreciated Matt. God bless.

[@thehungryhussey]

You're welcome! I'm glad it helped, thanks for watching.

[@OleensEmbroidery]

I love your method! Much easier and fool proof than my old way of making ghee.

[@gharv1313]

Never made this Matt, definitely need to though . Thanks for the in depth explanation and process! Cheers my friend

[@thehungryhussey]

You're welcome bud! Cheers!

[@horrordude1985]

Great video! Wasnt one your first videos several years ago about clarified butter? Been watching a long time!

[@thehungryhussey]

Yep, you're on it! Did this a long time ago and thought I'd revisit it! Thanks for sticking in here so long!

[@rmpapa-zz6vv]

nice recipe. always heard of clarified butter but did not know how simple it was to make at home

[@thehungryhussey]

It really is easy to make! I always intend to make it more!

[@robertmccoy5031]

I made once and it is fantastic. I need to make more often.

[@thehungryhussey]

I hear you! It is a game-changer.

[@DodiePajer]

Did you use salted or unsalted butter? Is there a difference in the final product? Which do you recommend? Thanks!

[@thehungryhussey]

Unsalted butter is what I use.

[@melaneymattson3733]

Can't wait 'til butter goes on sale!! Thanks Matthew!

[@thehungryhussey]

Yep, that's always a great time to stock up!

[@jeffreystone7327]

That sale is coming, finally.

[@jaychapman2045]

P.s. the butter oil you produced in this video has a butterfat content of about 98.5% to clarify it further force it through a micro filter at 208 degrees then continue to heat it for about 5 minutes at 220 degrees constantly agitating until removed from the heat and transfer to a cool vessel. Contained in a closed jar store for up to a year at 40 degrees f . You're welcome.

[@thehungryhussey]

Nice!

[@marianconwell1401]

I am going to make it. Thanks Hussy!!

[@thehungryhussey]

You’re welcome friend!!!

[@outdoororiginal4364]

Hussy.. can you pour it thru cheese cloth or something similar to get out the undesirables or is it best to do it the way you did ? Thanks for the cool content and God bless.

[@thehungryhussey]

I’ve heard you can run it through a coffee filter. The paper type, but not sure.

[@jeffgeesaman4386]

What do you do with the left over solids? Are they good for certain things or just pitch them out?

[@thehungryhussey]

I just pitch them. Some will use them for baking and things, but I don’t.

[@MartinRosendahl]

I used to do clarified butter, but I decided I preferred it not clarified. I found the buttery flavor I liked tasted watered down when clarified. Plus, if you put it on your hot griddle it'll brown, and then you're cooking with brown butter which turns the flavor volume up to 11. Do what you like, but that's my preference

[@goofygolfer56]

Does it matter if it’s salted or unsalted butter? Do they both clarify? Does the salt carry through with the salted butter?

[@thehungryhussey]

Unsalted butter is preferred

[@brunoloiselle2710]

I dig it. I was just telling my wife that I wanted to make sum, thanks Hussey.

[@thehungryhussey]

Glad I could help 😂!

[@gregoryfaith4303]

I made my stockpile when butter prices were very low before dairy prices went towards the moon during the pandemic. I never needed to buy butter ss I had ghee frozen in my extra freezers. Prices are still high and there is plenty in storage to get me by.

[@thehungryhussey]

That’s awesome! Glad you were prepared.

[@WolfParker-su3kq]

I actually make it alot my family loves it

[@legallimitoutdoors9917]

😊 nice thank u! Im doing it. Will i be able to can it?

[@Seneca-Ridge-bbq469]

Thanks for all the info 👍

[@thehungryhussey]

Awesome! I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@deanhornberger5886]

Great video !! Do you recommend salted or unsalted butter?

[@deanhornberger5886]

unsalted.. should have read ALL the comments! Thanks again driver!

[@thehungryhussey]

Yes sir! Unsalted all the way. I should have noted that in the video instead of in the description.

[@wynnmatthews1858]

Would running it through a coffee filter work?

[@thehungryhussey]

I don’t know really.

[@918scott]

I go to Costco and purchase the grass fed Costco butter for 10 bucks. It has a richer flavor and tastes so much better. I put the whole box or two into a glass casserole dish then put it into the oven at 250* for about 30 min. It makes it easier to remove the top crust. (you have to have a steady hand removing from the oven)

[@God-z7c]

Could you strain it through a cheesecloth or a sifter

[@hackbritton3233]

My mom used a bent spoon for skimming. Its much easier to get down in the pot to skim with.

[@mikedunlap1403]

How to keep it liquid??? Mine solidifies too quickly to use in a squirt bottle...

[@thehungryhussey]

Just pop it in the microwave before using.

[@black07rr]

Salted or unsalted sticks?

[@thehungryhussey]

Unsalted

[@black07rr]

@ well shit, my wife bought 2 boxes of salted sticks lol

[@Shann518]

I was soooo tickled with the comment about rubbing butter on your cheeks on date night and not being able to keep your wife off of you!!! I love your channel!! Keep up the good work!!

[@thehungryhussey]

Haha! Glad you enjoyed it, thanks! Appreciate you watching!

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Flea-Flicker]

This is a huge discovery! I used to watch Graham Kerr use it on TV cooking back in 1969.

[@stevemullins2377]

Put heavy cream in a mason jar, teaspoon of salt and shake. You get butter

[@thehungryhussey]

Correct. But still need to melt that down to make clarified butter.

[@drumcode420]

Cooking owhl or oil?

[@thehungryhussey]

Both

[@reallybadaim118]

Buy heavy whipping cream. Use a stand mixer and mix it and make your own butter. It's fun too.

[@montyziebell1077]

I use the microwave. Works just as good, but I don't make that big of a batch.

[@thehungryhussey]

Nice hack!!

[@andrewkelty3167]

Great video! Good to know. Using it as cologne is epic 🤣

[@thehungryhussey]

Haha... Thanks bud!

[@2Truth4Liberty]

Doesn't have to be clarified to be great for cooking. I make golden brown potato chips with ingredients of : potato, salted butter Also an easy way to separate clarified butter is to heat until all moisture has evaporated, then strain it all through paper towel :-0)

[@thehungryhussey]

You’re right, there are many ways to cook great with butter!

[@alanpfahler1707]

I recently found a new product that I've been using and it's made by Country Crook. It's called Drizzle and Sizzle. It taste like butter but had no butter in it and has a much higher smoke then butter. Check it out!!

[@thehungryhussey]

Oh yeah, I have that stuff too. It’s good.

[@lewisbechtel3000]

Salted or unsalted? That is the question! My guess is unsalted.

[@thehungryhussey]

Unsalted butter. I should have noted that!! Whoops. 😂

[@DJ-fn3jm]

Browned Butter or Ghee are superior to clarified butter. But all butter product are awesome.

[@thehungryhussey]

Subjective opinion for sure. I don’t care for ghee.

[@DJ-fn3jm]

@@thehungryhussey Indeed. I think the nutty flavors add to almost every dish. Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are on another level. 😁😁

[@thehungryhussey]

I hear that buddy!!!

[@PAINTuRED]

We need to be cooking everything in clarified butter (as well as all other animal fats, for that matter) rather than all that seed oil crap!!!!

[@thehungryhussey]

You make a valid point.

[@francisagosh2175]

Yummy

[@thehungryhussey]

Thanks !!

[@rugan0723]

It is liquid gold at $7.00 a pound!

[@rmoqs]

Ghee is darker than clarified butter. Ghee is used more in cooking from India.

[@thehungryhussey]

You're right, there's a difference in those two!

[@paulsanders1373]

I don’t like the aftertaste of Ghee either!

[@thehungryhussey]

Phew. Thought it was only me for a minute there. 😂

[@jamescampbell9533]

Liquid gold is correct. At about 8 dollars a pint it is the most expensive cooking oil by far.

[@dianelawrence1087]

Found clarified butter at Costco. Bought a jar

[@thehungryhussey]

Nice find! You're going to love it!

[@Flintstone420]

Ghee

[@thehungryhussey]

Ghee is different. It’s cooked differently where you cook the whole mixture longer. Makes it nuttier because the milk solids are heated higher.

[@travelchannel304]

Funnel..

[@cooking.n.drinking.with_jeremy]

Would pouring it through a cheesecloth keep the solids out? I have a fine mesh strainer. I might try that and let you know how it goes.

[@thehungryhussey]

Some do coffee filters or cheese cloth, but I've never tried it.

[@pjtruesdale16]

Hussey’s heffer butter comin soon

[@JimFink-y5o]

Buy Ghee

[@thehungryhussey]

Ghee isn’t the same and I totally explained why I don’t buy it. Making it is better.

[@grizzledgranny4600]

Clarified butter = Ghee

[@thehungryhussey]

Close. Ghee cooks the milk solids hotter than clarified butter giving it a more nutty taste and brown tint.

[@grizzledgranny4600]

@@thehungryhussey thank you

[@DugEphresh]

Ghee has been around so much longer than butter.

[@thehungryhussey]

Has it?

[@Echiya]

LOL "new". This has been used for centuries.

For sure man. New is meaning folks mostly don’t know how to make clarified butter is where I was going.
