Ingredients
  

  • 4 lbs unsalted butter used Kirkland brand from Costco

Instructions
 

  • -Place the butter sticks into the steel pot of the Instant Pot and press the Keep Warm button. This will help the butter melt. If using frozen it will take longer,
  • -Once the butter is melted completely, press CANCEL and then press SAUTE button and I keep my timer for 15 mins.
  • -Stir it in between a couple of times, it will look foamy.
  • -When it beeps after 15 mins, press SAUTE button again and let it cook more.
  • -Keep stirring, you will see foam is disappearing and you will see the proteins on the corner of the pot.
  • -Once you see the golden color, it means your ghee is done. Turn it off and let it sit for 5 mins and you will see all the milk solids on the bottom which turned brown. Pull the steel pot out and let the ghee cool down.
  • -Now that it is completely cool down, strain it in a clean glass container.
  • -Ghee can be stored outside as long as it is cooked properly. If you want an extended shelf life you can store it in the fridge.
