Ghee

[The-Great-Nothing]

Hi all

When I went prep shopping yesterday I popped a can of ghee in the trolly and gave it a whirl this morning.

A little bit granular when eaten straight out the tin (not how i usually eat butter, but just testing it)

Spreads easier than butter.

Tastes reasonably good. Like a "thin" butter.

Will test what it is like for frying later


£2 for 500g - so same price as butter but with a 2 year shelf life.



Cheers

What an interesting idea! Don't have any Asian shops locally, but I'll keep a lookout in my travels.

Yep, great stuff.

Basically clarified butter so fantastic for cooking with.

My local supermarkets stock it in the "World/Asian" aisles.

Wow! I wondered as I was typing that if I was setting myself up ... turns out I was thanks for the heads up, Matt, I'll keep an eye out locally too then

Does anyone know how long that 2 year shelf life would stretch to in an emergency?

Be lucky

Hi

I was hoping it would be like other canned foods......kinda indefinite.

That isn't based on any specific knowledge of canned ghee or butter tho. Be nice to be more accurate.

It says on it - once open, consume within 1 month - so it isn't too "fragile" I wouldn't have thought.

Cheers

You can make it yourself as, as someone said above, it's clarified butter.

Also, ghee is absolutely vital if you make your own Indian curry at home.
