how do I get the ghee to come out right

[Guest guest]

I tried to make homemade ghee according to the instructions that

Marjan posted a while ago. I did not use the metal cup she

recommends, but used a Pyrex glass 2-cup measuring cup in the oven. I

am worried about the dairy-free aspect of my homemade ghee because

there's always a bit of white floating on the top and quite a bit

sticking to the sides of the Pyrex cup. This white reminds me of the

substance that sinks to the bottom; is it the same stuff? That's what

we want to get rid of, right? How do I make ghee without any white on

the top/sides? I'd really like to make legal ghee at home because the

Purity Farms brand one that I buy is ok for baking but it has a funny,

sweet taste on vegetables. Thanks for any help with this.

This may be a bit too big, too wide. Can you find anything that is

taller and less wide? Some toy stores have small metal pots & pans

for kids to play with, I know Ikea has them (do you have Ikea over

there?). They're excellent. I never tried glass.

Does that look foamy? I don't worry about that. You can pour that

through a metal sieve. The thing you need to avoid is the white,

oily, creamy bit. It should be on the bottom of the cup. If it's

sticking on the sides, I wouldn't use the ghee. Or repeat the process

after cooling, you'd probably get rid of it.

Would an old soup can work?

If you can safely put that in the oven...I guess yes
