Ghee

[EGGARY]

I picked up a big container of Ghee at Costco.  Anybody have any experience using Ghee ?

Ok, I'm not up to speed. What is ghee?

You make it from butter, heat it up and let the milk solids settle out and you are left with ghee.  Nice stuff.

Ghee is basically clarified butter. You can cook/fry with it at much higher temps than regular butter because the solids are removed.

Ghee compared to clarified butter:  http://www.epicurious.com/ingredients/difference-between-clarified-butter-ghee-brown-butter-article

I've used Ghee for many years ... started with my interest in cooking all things Indian food at home along time ago.   I love it drizzled over air popped pop corn.   And it makes all things sautéd mushrooms sing.   You'll like it!

Someone here planted a seed in my brain (thanks, dstr) and today I saw a jar of what I would have called clarified butter but they labelled it ghee. I just had to buy it and some mushrooms.

Some refried fried rice and mushrooms in ghee.:)

Never heard of gHee, but I'm about to go to Costco for my Ribeye Mushroom cook.

Love the members here, learn new techniques and tricks all the time.

Saw your note on this at the guru. Funny how all the folks here are all in on the smoke pot, because we've actually tried it and it works. Over at the guru...many of the responses are hilarious. For the cost of a bag of lump they could prove or disprove their arguments. Instead, all sorts of logical contortions.

I really need to stop looking at your posts @MacKenzie.  I get so hungry

I like John learned a few tips from him, but he posed the question about smoker pot or wrapped in foil and when 90% of the responses are go for it he says he doesn't see merit and doesn't believe there is a difference in taste etc. I thought I was stuck in my ways, dang!

What I said before about online forums being like terrorist cells was only partially a joke. John's done a lot of good things and has propagated a lot of good info but, just like with Meathead, there are some things where I just roll my eyes. His influence at the guru is undeniable. If he had tried the smoke pot and liked it, it would suddenly be the greatest thing ever and everyone there would credit him for the idea. Since he has come out against, you see the tide there has turned. Oh well. Doesn't affect me one iota. 

Now back to the ghee. I like ghee!

Going to try and make me some ghee later today. Followed the above link and they have a recipe. Seems like a really simple procedure. Need to go to the store and get some more butter first.
