Ingredients

  • 16 oz. unsalted butter

Instructions

  • First, add the butter sticks to the Instant Pot’s inner pot
  • Next, turn the pot onto saute mode on normal heat.
  • Allow the butter to melt until you see a frothy foam on top.
  • Once the foam starts disappearing and you start seeing the bottom of the pot clearly, switch off the Instant Pot. If the bottom of the pot has brown debris, remove the inner pot from the pot and allow the ghee to cool.
  • Once completely cooled, use a strainer and transfer the ghee into a completely clean and dry glass or steel container.

Making Ghee on stove top
