How to Make Clarified Butter in 5 Minutes | Shorts

Clarified butter is a great ingredient in the kitchen and because the milk fats have been removed, it has a higher smoke point than regular butter.
I use this in my cooking to replace oil (depending on the recipe) and it can create some incredible flavour to a dish. Not all clarified butter is ghee, but all ghee is clarified butter. The difference between the two is that ghee is cooked longer to create a darker, browner colour which produces a nutty flavour. Clarified butter, however, still has the beautiful butter flavour without the nutty flavour.
Ingredients -
300g (10.5oz) - Unsalted Butter

If you wanna make popcorn, do NOT cook it in butter or cover it in butter afterwards. that will make either the butter burn or the popcorn soggy. instead use the clarified butter when you're cooking for the butter taste and use really really fine salt to dissolve in the ghee and coat every kernel evenly

[@MPrint67]

Use a cheesecloth next time because I can clearly see small bits of milk solids.

Thank you 🙏

[@mirandahughes]

Thank you so much!!! 🎉

[@ChefJackOvens]

It’s a pleasure 🙌

[@ESO529]

Just pour it through a cheesecloth instead of all this "careful" pouring and then still having some solids - LOL!

[@debstone4062]

I don't have unsalted butter. Can I use salted butter?

[@ChefJackOvens]

Salted butter works

[@deefay396]

Hi, If you use salted butter would it not separate the fats? Is it still possible to get the same results as unsaled butter?

[@p1nkd0ck62]

It's the same I think

[@crossandres7]

Love it

Is the leftover residues healthy?

[@PD-yd3fr]

You don't boil the water out?

[@JuJuCrafts]

I think that is the difference between clarified butter and ghee---ghee is just slightly darker and all the water has been evaporated whereas clarified butter is just as he did it without spending as much time

[@tymarshall8713]

melt it then cook it? how do it melt?

[@screwhead873]

I guess my butter was not all butter , no build up came out on top

[@BigDaddyDelliott]

Aren’t you supposed to use the clarified butter on popcorn and not the milk fats?

[@ChefJackOvens]

You can use either

[@BigDaddyDelliott]

@@ChefJackOvens okay

[@bobsmith8124]

@@ChefJackOvensno… you’d be left with unappealing milk solids all over your popcorn… definitely use Ghee. And you didn’t cook this long enough… should be more clear

[@ChefJackOvens]

@@bobsmith8124 ghee and clarified butter are two different things. All ghee is clarified butter but not all clarified butter is ghee 👌

[@bobsmith8124]

@@ChefJackOvens I stand corrected. 😂

[@jspin1103]

Shit. Hope salted butter will work out. 🤞

[@ChefJackOvens]

Salted butter does work 🙌

[@christinabernat6709]

Dea heavens don't discard it - give it to pets if you have dogs or cats. Put it on toast for yourself.... or on steamed veggies ...

[@jixuscrixus]

That’s about AUD $20 worth of butter…

[@ChefJackOvens]

Not even $5 aud

[@buttersd70]

AUD $6.02 if you buy Western Star at Woolies... Using either woolies or coles branded butter, costs AUD $4.20.... I can't be bothered searching for the most expensive butter, but $20 for 350g....would have to have truffles in it, or something. lmao.

[@sgs13197]

Is it possible to make butter? Then clarify it?? Would it be cheaper??? Could you do a short for clotted cream???? I feel like a needy baby with all these questions...

[@Simulator_pilot787]

Stop with the butter war

[@anmolajmani7494]

Say ghee.. u copied indian 😊

[@ChefJackOvens]

All ghee is clarified butter but not all clarified butter is ghee

[@giribhide]

All ghee is clarified butter but not all clarified butter is ghee 🤙 they’re different not the same

[@TheLovie999]

I could not have gone on living without your utterly brilliant comment. Alas, can you cook? .

[@buttersd70]

@@ChefJackOvens Mate, I know the difference, I do both 'European style' (for want of a better term) clarified butter, and also ghee. But this comment that they're the same constantly pops up all over the internet. Maybe a short video explaining the difference for those who don't know?
