The Recipe Called For Ghee

Not only does this taste like butter (it is actually) but it supposed to be better for us. The bad fats have been removed and most folks who have a problem with lactose intolerance find that ghee doesn't bother them. What I like about it is that it doesn't burn like regular butter does when you are trying to saute items. The burn temperature is much higher with ghee. No smoking problem or burnt taste if you aren't careful. That is one reason it is recommended when making InstantPot recipes.
It has a long shelf-life, too. Out of the refrigerator it should be good for two to three months and if kept in the fridge it should be good for about one year. As much as I have started cooking with it, I won't have to worry about it going bad. I'll use it up before it has a chance to expire!
Personally, I think the foods that I have used it in taste better. That might be my imagination but it is my opinion none the less. There has been no noticeable loss of taste to me or my husband and we love our butter!
I'm glad that I took the time to research what the recipes were calling for and then ordered it to try. It is now something that I will keep in my pantry from now on. How about you? Have you tried ghee?
I've never heard of Ghee Butter, but it sounds perfect for cooking. Thanks, Bev, for researching it for us.
ReplyDeletePS: glad you got your InstantPot pressure cooker you'd asked Santa for. :)
Like you, I had never even heard of it before, but it sounds like a product we should all be using. So happy you got what you wanted for Christmas. It is pretty cool when "they" listen.
ReplyDeleteWell, this make me the third person who has never heard of Ghee Butter. Seems like a must try for cooking Bev. Thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteLet's make it four. Thanks for the introduction
ReplyDeleteAwesome that Santa brought you Instapot! I had never heard of Ghee butter either. Learn something new every day.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried it yet. I'm wondering if it would work for popping popcorn over the stove .
ReplyDeleteI love this Review This because I always learn something new. Thanks for this I think I just might start using this product too! Much better than margarine for sure and I love that it tastes like butter too!
