I use my itty-bitty melting pan when I want to melt butter. There's a gadget for everything. |

I always have two sticks on the counter (covered) so there's soft better ready to go. When one stick is done, the next comes out.
As for melting, I do nuke it, but I do it on "2" and I do it in 5-10 second increments (fork-stirring along the way). |

I bought my first ghee in a jar at the organic food market. Now, that's what I call easy! Easiest ghee ev'ah!

FMB, I just checked the label thinkin' it may have a price on it but no. IIRC it was about $5.99 - $7-8'ish (no more than that) for 7.5 ozs.
But whaddya know, the label says "Organic GHEE" with the words "Clarified Butter" right under that. Thought I'd add more confusion to the debate with that. |

No confusion. Ghee is a type of clarified butter. I mentioned that in post 43. |

Regarding your buy, making it at home you can more than double your value.

It doesn't take a lot of time, only about 15 minutes if you do it on the stovetop. And you can get a pound of organic butter for less than $7, you end up with about 12 ounces of ghee. |

Even electric stovetops? 'Cause I don't want to tell you how many disasters, including burnt pans, I've had whereas I had none when I had gas in Boston area. |

I've done it on an electric before, with no problems. But on the stove top, you can't turn your back on it. It can go from ghee to brown butter to beurre noir fast. |

To be honest with you, making ghee is one thing that I find too challenging. I made it once in college and it was a disaster. Can't bear to waste good butter now.
