It is, and it's easy to make at home, but not worth it if it's cheaper than butter. Melt unsalted butter very slowly and strain it using a piece of cloth or some coffee filters. That's it.ghee is clarified butter

My guess is that it probably is, but I haven't ever used it myself.Thank you. I use butter or lard, lard I should imagine is cheaper than ghee?
Sounds even easier than my method, but I simply don't have room for any more kitchen gadgets, so I try to remember to buy it whenever I come across an Indian grocery. Last time I forgotI like ghee because it doesn't burn or spit like butter, if you have a slow cooker very very easy to make - I put four blocks in my slow cooker on low for 6 hours DONT STIR! skim the top taking all the scum off. Switch cooker off and let the butter go completely cold and set - remove from dish and cut all the bits off the bottom, store in jars in the fridge - keeps well and can be heated to higher temp than butter
hi Jim, do use butter, although it tends to spit a bit, also cold pressed rapeseed oil for frying, olive oil for dressings etc. Have just started using coconut oil, planned a stir fry tonight, thanks for the tip.Ghee is fine. Personally I favour butter and duck fat, with coconut oil being used for spicy, oriental style dishes.
Lard probably is cheaper than ghee, but I have not ompletely embraced the high fat lifestlye yet.
Butter >£6 per kg ghee £4 per kg
Where do you get ghee for £4 per kilo?Lard probably is cheaper than ghee, but I have not ompletely embraced the high fat lifestlye yet.
Butter >£6 per kg ghee £4 per kg
If you don't want or choose to use lard, there's no obligation to do so - or any other LCHF food you don't fancy. for that matter. However, if you think of so called high fat as normal fat which is simply higher than reduced/low/lite fat products then that might make it easier to accept.Lard probably is cheaper than ghee, but I have not ompletely embraced the high fat lifestlye yet.

I am like you in that respect....... but I have not completely embraced the high fat lifestlye yet.
Sat fat is a concern, but cost as well.Last time I looked lard has roughly half the sat fat as butter (if it is sat fat is concerning you). I'm depending on memory here so do check it out.
AsdaWhere do you get ghee for £4 per kilo?
we will shortly be living on one pension between two people, so simply cannot afford to be eating half a pack of cheese/nuts/ham as a snack, or dousing everything in cream. Esp as even this has failed to halt the weight loss.Sat fat is a concern, but cost as well.
I hear you. For roasting I prefer goose or duck fat but the cost means that lard is used more often.Sat fat is a concern, but cost as well.
