The current trend "forward to the past" did not pass by cooking.

Usually baked oil was cooked at home, modern housewives are more familiar with tin cans of long storage. This is not only a good product for frying, and a healing agent if it was made from high quality raw materials, in other words butter.

The 1st stage takes about half an hour, your task is to stir the butter from time to time so that it does not stick to the bottom. Then carefully remove the foam, turn off the fire, strain what you have left, through the gauze. Golden thick liquid with the most delicious creamy smell, pour into a pot, where it will freeze and be stored. You will get true ghee. Its usefulness is enormous, and it can be specifically used to make food for allergic people who do not tolerate ordinary butter. There are variants of manufacturing on a water bath and in an oven; Even earlier such an oil was made in an oven.
