I gotta be honest - I use the microwave almost entirely when I need to melt butter, unless I'm doing it just to cook with it on the stove. But sometimes, baked goods or breads require melted butter, so that goes in the microwave.

But I hate when some of the water in the butter explodes, and sends half your butter all over the inside of the science oven. That stuff's hard to clean up.

But if I'm cooking with it, obviously it just goes straight in the pan or pot.

Now, there is one instance where I melt a butt load of butter all at once - when I'm making ghee. I'll put like 2 pounds in the dutch oven and melt that, but then I keep on cooking it until the milk solids separate and start to brown and all the water in the oil boils out. By the way, I wouldn't really recommend cultured butter for this, as you mostly lose all the complexities of the nice butter. I've had equally good experiences with $7/pound butter as the cheaper stuff.
Why would you ruin one of your quality ingredients by using a microwave to melt it? It affects the flavor.

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).

Just out of curiosity, how much money for how much ghee?

I can't remember. It was three weeks ago—maybe. I may still have the receipt but I got a lot of travel stuff splayed all around right now.

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.

Yeah, but time is money and that was made with organic butter. Ingredients on the side say: "Certified Organic Butter."

Organic butter costs an arm-and-a-leg or thereabouts.

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.

Hmmmm...

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.
