Simple 1-Ingredient Ghee Recipe

Instant Pot Method

1. Set the Instant Pot to Saute (normal). To change the settings on Sauté mode either press the adjust button or press Sauté button multiple times to switch between less, normal and more modes.
2. Add the butter to the Instant Pot. Butter will start to melt, then turn milky & frothy. After about 8 to 9 minutes, depending on the temperature of the butter when you first added to the instant pot, the froth will start to disappear. You will see transparent bubbles being formed and should be able to see the bottom of the pot. Turn the Instant Pot off at this point.
3. The Ghee will continue to cook for next 2 to 3 minutes as the Instant Pot gradually cools down. Note: If the bottom of the pot looks brownish, take the inner pot out and place on a hot plate to cool down so it does not cook further.
4. Allow the ghee to cool down completely. Then strain the ghee using a strainer or cheese cloth into a clean and dry glass jar. Stored at room temperature or can be refrigerated for extended shelf life.

Stovetop Method

1. Add butter to a heavy bottom pot and cook on medium heat. Butter will melt and foam will start to form on the top. Do not skim the foam on the top. 
2. The foam will then turn into bubbles as the ghee continues to cook and become translucent. The milk solids will start to form at the bottom of the pot. 
3. The bubbles will again start to become light-foamy as the milk solids start to turn golden brown and settle at the bottom of the pot. This process takes about 20 to 25 minutes. Turn the heat off at this point.
4. Allow the ghee to cool down before straining in a clean dry glass jar.
