Or make your own. I am going to try making my own cheeze nest.
I found an easier way to make clarified butter than the usual method. If you melt some butter in a small microwave safe container then put it in the fridge till the butter fat solidifies, you can then drain off the water easily by poking a hole in the crust that forms. The natural separation of the fat from the water makes this easier than trying to drain off the water while everything is liquid or changing the flavor of the butter by heating it too much. The milk solids are retained when using this method so technically it's not fully clarified, but it work great for popcorn.
Holy crap. Brilliant! Thanks for that.
Glad to share this tip. It has been great during popcorn emergencies. You can make a bunch of it in one go and store the butter fat in the freezer for long periods of time for quick use when you need it. Clarified butter is amazing and this DIY method makes it cheaper than buying it ready made.
