Clarified butter

thanks.

what settings do you use and for how long?

earlier, someone said 85°C. i’m surprised that works because it’s below the boiling point of water. i’d think that much of the water would be trapped below the fat since it’s denser than oil. if it’s below an oil layer, it won’t evaporate.

i thought clarification relied on bringing it to at least the boiling point of water so it vaporizes (even below an oil layer). water vapor is less dense than oil, so the moisture escapes.
