Buy the large 1 lb blocks of unsalted butter at sams or costco. This is a good rainey day chore. Melt in a pan at LOW heat. When completely melted turn off heat and let stand for about 20 minutes. Pour into above cup. Most of the solids will be at bottom of pan but what goes into cup will settle. Pull the trigger of cup over butter left over in pan. the solids go out the bottom. Your left with clear butter. Pour the clear butter into ice cube trays sprayed with alittle pam. into fridge to setup and then into plastic bags for the freezer. Repeat till all butter but solids are used. the price will be about half what you pay retail.

What a great idea Rick. And I have a very similar fat separator. The design of that thing is the bomb.....and mine holds 4 cups!

...and mine holds 4 cups!
Poor Rick. Apparently size matters and his only holds 1000ml. Oh wait, Mr. Science tells me that 1000ml is about 4.23 cups. Rick wins by almost two ounces!! Poor Pappy.

Curse you Rick. I thought this was my one chance to better you ;)
Until next time.......

Clarified butter has a higher smoke point (485 °F or 252 °C) than regular butter (325-375 °F or 163-190 °C), and is therefore preferred in some cooking applications, such as sautéing. Clarified butter also has a much longer shelf life than fresh butter. It has negligible amounts of lactose and casein and is, therefore, acceptable to most who have a lactose intolerance or milk allergy.
I thought fat was flavour, but you do get a higher smoke point ;D

I could find a few uses for that. ;)
