How to prevent butter burning during cooking

Name: How to prevent butter burning during cooking
Cook time: 3 min
Total time: 3 min
Yield: 1 cooking
Cuisine: French
Ingredients: 1 knob butter; 1 tablespoon oil

Butter, which is excellent for fixing flavours in a recipe, burns if the temperature is too high. It darkens and produces unpleasant small black specks (by the way, note that the famous recipe "raie au beurre noir", ray in black butter, is a kind of sacrilege!).

How to prevent butter burning during cooking : Stage 1

To avoid this, you can add a little oil to the butter which allows you to raise the temperature further. But this is not always an appropriate method as sometimes it's not desirable to use oil (for a dessert for exemple).

It's well worth making clarified butter.

There is no milk in butter! Butter is made from cream, made from milk.

This is a kitchen myth. The milk solids in butter will still burn at the same temperature, adding oil just disperses them more widely so it isn't as visible.
