How to melt butter in the microwave and on the stove
Often in recipes we can see the words "add melted butter." This oil is added when preparing dough, biscuits, cookies, sauces. Butter is melted in order to grease freshly boiled dumplings. But not everyone knows how to melt butter at home.
How to melt the butter correctly so as not to overheat it and get an excellent result? The main thing here is to do it on a small fire, constantly stirring and controlling the whole process. Butter begins to melt already at a temperature of 38-40 ° C. Therefore, you should drown it on a minimum fire and remove the dishes from the fire at the moment when 2/3 of the oil is melted. Then it is enough to stir the whole mass well with a spoon or a culinary spatula and the remains will be heated up by themselves, since the mass is already sufficiently heated.
Properly melted butter should have a uniform consistency, with no hard under-melted pieces. You can also quickly melt the butter in the microwave.
