Use for whenever you sauté. By removing the fat and clarifying the butter you increase the burn point of the butter to 450 degrees.

Equipment

  • 1- 2 quart saucepan
  • 1- strainer
  • 1- cheese cloth

Ingredients

  • 1 lbs. unsalted butter

Instructions

  • In the saucepan add the butter. Melt the butter on medium heat. Once the butter is completely melted turn down to the lowest setting. At this point you want a very small boil. Let boil for about 40 minutes. The top should be lightly browned. Remove from heat and strain through 3 or 4 layers of cheese cloth into an airtight container. Once cool you can put it in the fridge of up to 6 months.

Notes

I will make a lot at a time and freeze it. It can be frozen for up to a year. However, it never last that long.

  • 14 cups cold water
  • 1 white, yellow or sweet onion (rough chop)
  • 1 cup carrots (rough chop)

Instructions

  • Rinse the shells in cold water and add them to the stock pot. Add all other ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 1 hour. Skim the impurities as they rise to the top.
  • Remove from heat and strain the stock into a smaller container or a bowl. Fill a large container with ice and water to make a ice bath. Place the strained stock to the ice bath to cool quickly. Refrigerate or freeze in smaller containers.

Notes

I typically make larger quantities.  So I will freeze whatever I don't plan on using within a couple days.
