Butter and clarified butter are similar yet different. Chef and food writer Matt Degen explains which to use and why. Also see: Easy homemade butter recipe: • Is Homemade Butter Rea... Tunes: QuangerineCream by Noir Et Blanc Vie
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.
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".
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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)
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!
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.
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.

👌👌👌👌❤️❤️ 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. 🙏🙏🙏

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.
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 👌

@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: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7EODoP9pMHY.html -- I've found it's best stored in the fridge. Cheers!
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.
Clearfied Butter is commonly called as - " GHEE " . Very commonly used in our INDIA 🇮🇳. 😊 🙏🏻 666 LIKES ... 😱😰 reminds 😈👺👹 So, i contributed my 1 Like 👍🏻 Making it to 667 ... 😅😆
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 😀
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❤
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! 🙏
