Can you use ghee like butter on toast, potatoes, ect.?

I do. It is clarified butter -- that is, just a different form of butter. The best answer is to try it to see if you like it on toast, potatoes, etc. It works wonderfully for a fried egg (put ghee in a cold pan, put in the egg while pan is cold, turn up heat to medium or med-low -- that is, cook the egg slowly -- it's a lovely difference from the traditional way of cooking egg on a surface that is already hot).

Yes! Out of the fridge it is a bit thick, so may initially be difficult to spread unless you let thaw for a few mins, but would melt nicely on warm toast. I use it as butter on hot potatoes (especially nice with steamed carrots, sweet potatoes or cauliflower all whipped up in the food processor to make 'mashed potatoes'!), in a pan while cooking, and on bread to make grilled cheese sandwiches. If I am short on time, I melt it a bit in the pan first and then spread. Yummy stuff! A healthy alternative, especially since my hubby is lactose intolerant.

I eat Paleo so I don't use it on toast or potatoes, but I use it when sautéing just like I would butter -- it makes the most delicious scrambled eggs!

Yes, it's good on everything where you would normally use butter! The taste is quite similar, and this ghee is soft and easily spreadable (especially since it's safe at room temp).

Absolutely... I would recommend mixing it with the hot water before adding it to the casserole so that you don't get lumps..I usually buy the potatoes au gratin box (any brand) as the "base", then I slice up potatoes that I have pre-cooked (at least partially) and add a bit of additional milk to cover all of the potatoes... as an extra flavor I sometimes add cut up brocolli florets and sometimes cut up red, green, yellow and orange bell peppers and of course onions too... YUM...

You can. I crushed almonds with this for a recipe. This will make nut butter but you have to put the nuts through the machine again and again to get a better consistency.

Hi Monica, If you can stand it that way, I do not see why not. I put it in my mom's oatmeal. Some people put it on their toast instead of butter. I read where one man put it in his hot tea, this gave my mom a upset stomach so we quit that. You can bake it in muffins too. Hope this helps your question. :)

You can toast Bagels, English muffins. I also do the frozen Texas Toast it's wide and it works great. Hope this helped.

There's a small recipe book with about 38 recipes that doesn't include any for fried potatoes so you'd have to experiment to see if you could get fries the way you like. I tried browning grated potatoes tossed with a small amount of oil and got minimal browning - less than I could easily get on the stove. I think garlic bread could be tricky as the garlic could easily burn in contact with the bottom of the pan. There is a recipe for a breakfast sandwich (like a McMuffin) that includes toasting buttered English muffins buttered side down. If your microwave's power isn't very close to 1000-1200 watts cooking times could be different.

I occasionally will use butter, ghee or olive olive. I never use Pam. It will damage the pans.

No. The unit really heats up. So you'd have nut butter, but not really as the machine would likely seize up. It was only designed for wheat, rice, bean flours and the like. Honestly, as I don't eat beans rice or wheat anymore, I got rid of the machine.

Butter. Place a bit of butter on your toastie before you apply the vegemite, it softens the flavour a bit. Also, some people (including myself) like to mix it in with a bit of creme cheese and placing it on a bagle, it's fantastic

Ummmm...I suppose you could use it on whatever you like, but errr...it's butter and I've not heard of anyone putting butter in coffee (not that it can't be done), but if you already put butter in coffee...I suppose this would be no different!

Thomas, these are not meant to be boiled. Put a stick of butter in the butter mill, let it soften a few minutes, and twist, twist, twist. It makes beautiful THIN ribbons which melt quickly into hot bread, or corn, or on a baked potato. I love mine. But it wouldn't be useful if you wanted already-melted butter.

I don't know for sure but I don't think so. To make butter using Buttercup it is best to use the freshest butter you can get and make sure the temperature of the cream is at the room temperature.

You can...but its whole grain. It will have a dense and heavy feel. You can substitute potato flakes for 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup and a bit of orange juice to help with flavor.

Not at all. In fact, lightly buttering the bread enhances the browning of the bread. Clean-up is easy, too.

Yes, in fact you can make excellent nut butters that are consistently smooth and creamy. Our of you prefer, just chop them up.

Yes, you can. The time will vary, but as long as you keep at it, this machine will make almond butter. At first it will look like a lot of chopped nuts, possibly powder. Let it continue. It'll start looking clumpy and slightly wet. After a while, it becomes smooth. Mine takes less than 15 minutes.
