Clarifying Butter In The Oven
The next time you need clarified butter for seafood, try using the oven instead of a saucepan.
This can help to prevent unwanted "browning" (which changes the flavor) on the stovetop.
Pre-heat the oven to 300.
Cut the butter into 3/4-inch pieces
and place them in a small ovenproof dish.
When the butter has separated into two layers, remove the dish from the oven.
Carefully drain off the top "oily" layer
and reserve.
Discard the "milky" bottom layer.
