Can you please explain how to clarify butter?
I have tried a number of times. I have a recipe, that's not the problem. Explain to me WHEN you skim off the solids. Explain to me how I can TELL when it's clarified. I seem not to quite grasp the concept. Buying ghee or clarified butter is just too expensive. Can you help?

Clarified butter is butter that has had the milk solids and water removed. One advantage of clarified butter is that it has a much higher smoke point, so you can cook with it at higher temperatures without it browning and burning. Also, without the milk solids, clarified butter can be kept for much longer without going rancid.
It is very easy to make. Melt the butter slowly. Let it sit for a bit to separate. Skim off the foam that rises to the top, and gently pour the butter off of the milk solids, which have settled to the bottom. ...(Answered by lilith36) |

milk solids?
There is a particular creamy mint that I have only seen in a couple of homemade candy shops. They are usually pink and green. I've tried to get the owner of one of these shops to give me a hint as to how they are made and the only thing he would tell me is that it is mostly sugar and milk solids. Does anyone have any idea if this is something you can by from a food supplier? I can't seem to find any information on it. The candies are not refridgerated and have ... (Asked by mik_mcd)

How to pulverize into a water soluble powder?
I have a powder mix that is non-water soluble - it basically floats around in the water and eventually settles. Does anyone know of a household or commercial kitchen tool or device (preferably not tooo expensive!) that will pulverize dry solids / powders into a water soluble or at least an extremely fine powder?

If it's not water soluble, then it's just not. It won't matter how fine you crush it, it still won't disolve in water.
You need to change the chemical properties of your powder or of the water to make it dissolve.
Sometimes super-heating your water in the microwave will work. Sometimes mixing the powder with something else will work.
Chemically speaking there is not enough information to answer your question....(Answered by cirestan) |

What are the solid objects in my vinegar?
I have a bottle of white balsamic vinegar that is about 3 months old and has only about 1/4 of the vinegar gone. Today I noticed that, lingering at the bottom of the bottle, are a few mealy-looking solid things that look almost like they could be rinds from grapes. I didn't notice them there before, but maybe they were and I just didn't notice. Does vinegar solidify ever at the bottom a little bit like this (at room temperature)? Does this mean my vinegar has gone bad?
