Butter or margarine?

[DoggyDaddy]

I spread it on burger buns to grill, then of course crab legs and lobster, all of which are on hold. Well, except the buns. Oh and as far as making your own, 1lb of butter only makes a little ghee, like a real small jar. Eventually I’ll be able to make money again, so I’ll pay for someone else to clarify my butter.

I've seen it at Aldi, but I never paid attention to the price.

Last I bought was like $8 for 6 oz jar. Correction 7.5 oz. so $16+ per pound.

Ghee is just clarified butter. You can make it yourself, but by the time you get rid of the milk solids and average it out at a per pound price I don't now that you'd save much.

Just wondering what all you guys are using Ghee or clarified butter for? All I ever used clarified butter for was Hollandaise sauce, or to dip lobster in.

Also, take melted butter and brush it on your bread to make toasted cheese samiches... MMM MMM Good.

Yes, melted, cooled, separated butter is ghee- yummy.

Close. Its clarified butter boiled a bit longer than necessary to just remove the milkfats. You make ghee if you heat it too quickly while making clarified butter. Ask me how I know. LOL

The difference is clarified butter tastes like butter. Ghee has a nutty taste to it.

I wasn’t aware of any other way to make grilled cheese!

The browning of the milk fat and solids imparts the nutty flavor

Is it an acquired taste?

Over well, or hard fried. Oh and Butter and Bacon, margarine is for kink sex.

I heard the margarine kinky also involved a shower curtain, a chicken suit and a rooster feather. Then again Bob was always a story teller.

BTW margarine is nasty.

Feather? It was the whole damned rooster!

Depends on how you choose to acquire yours?

On the lunch menu today... Melted Kerry Gold brushed onto rye bread then toasted golden on the griddle- grilled cheese w/ thin sliced ham with a sprinkle of italian seasoning.

Always a winner.

 

[Snapdragon]

I just like soft butter spread on fresh soft rye bread. Mmmmm..

 

[JettaKnight]

I like the same, but I cook my yolks till they are solid. Whatever that is called. (never ordered them in a restaurant)

Another great one is fry 3-4 rashers of chopped up bacon, then add scrambled eggs and cook. (without draining any grease)

Troglodyte.




Oh, and butter was good enough for Marlon Brando, so there is no use for margarine.

Nice Last Tango in Paris reference.
Note to self; pass on the butter at M.Bs house.

I suppose my palate for butter is about as sophisticated as it is for wine. I like the Aldi's butter. Salted, unsalted, and with olive oil for spreadability. Yum.

 

[shotgun131313]

Salted butter

 

[Alpo]

When I was a kid, my grandma would stop into a Jewish Bakery (Detroit) and bring over Kaiser rolls freshly made, and bagels, with sweet, unsalted butter.

Just about as good as it can get.

 

[2A_Tom]

I cannot stand the taste of unsalted butter, I do use it for baking.

Unless a wine is REALLY sweet, it just tastes like vinegar to me.
