What is clarified butter, and what is ghee?
Self-tutoring about cooking: the tutor arrives at the definitions of clarified butter and ghee.
Clarified butter and ghee are not the same but can be explained as follows:
- Clarified butter is begun by heating butter at low heat so that it melts.
- As the butter melts, solids will sink to the bottom and a foam will form on top.
- The clarified butter is just the liquid without the foam or solids.
- If the butter is heated for longer, the liquid will deepen in color and the foam will solidify and sink. Then, the liquid is ghee.
