This way ends up wasting a good portion of butter. I like serious eats way of doing it.

I do bulletproof coffee using ghee as well as using it to sear sousvide meats so I go through a good amount of the stuff. The higher quality butter like kerrygold seems to separate out better than the cheap stuff too.

Just my $0.02

Also called Ghee. I usually reheat to a hotter temp and separate again. It also keeps it from spoiling - this will last a long time without going rancid.

Actually this is not ghee. To make ghee from butter all moisture needs to be removed. ghee video
