Thanks for all the valuable info. I'm an Indian who's currently living in the US and I was pleased to see your post about ghee. It is a part of our daily meals and nothing says comfort food more to us than a bowl of hot rice and yellow daal with a dollop of ghee. I know this post is old but, I wanted to comment on using the milk solids. I do what my mom does, after straining the ghee, I add about a cup or two of water back into the pan and bring it to a boil. Then I strain it and use this "ghee-water" in recipes instead of water. Makes delicious daals or curries or rice. This also helps loosen the milk solids which results in a super easy clean up.

I must try one day. Just a note about the difference between clarified butter and ghee. Technically, Ghee is one type of clarified butter. However the term "clarified butter" is used almost solely to denote an ingredient used in French cooking that is lightly clarified and not at all like ghee. I know that it is used so much across the internet, but I always wonder whether it is confusing for people. I have had friends who have made the French clarified butter and called it ghee. I wrote a bit about it here: http://vegeyum.wordpress.com/unravelling-indian-cooking/#ghee I love Merina’s comments about the crockpot – so interesting! I must try one day.

I did it, the top layer turned black and the solids on the bottom were a hearty brown, but I'm not keeping those anyway. Skim the top and strain. Super easy and the resulting ghee was awesome!

And, now I'm recalling that I heard someone refer to it as clarified butter. So, that all now makes sense. Thanks for the tutorial! Okay, I had no idea how easy ghee would be to make.
