- Once when the butter is completely melted and it starts to boil vigorously. Switch to Saute mode (normal). Continue to cook the butter.
- After 5-7 minutes, you will notice some foam/froth developing. Continue cooking.
- After 5-6 minutes of cooking, the foam/froth will dissipate and you will see more clear butter. Continue cooking.
- After few more minutes of cooking, the milk solids (whitish granule) will start to build up. You will start to notice whitish granules or milk solids floating in the liquid. Slowly once the ghee is cooked, these milk solids will start to settle at the bottom of the inner pot. Gently stir between the process.

- You can use organic butter or any good quality unsalted butter works just fine.
- Depending upon the quantity of the butter, the cooking time will vary.
- Depending on how long the butter is cooked, the texture, taste, and color will be different.
- It is important to start with a clean and dry pot for making ghee.
- Once the ghee is done, if left in the pot for longer, the milk solids turn dark brown in color, resulting in dark-colored ghee.
