Can I use this to strain the milk solids from melted butter for making ghee?

No, the solids would get through. I am a pro-chef by profession (The Culinary Institute of America) and one of the easiest ways I found to "clarify" butter is to melt it (letting the solids brown-for Ghee) and freeze the entire contents. Once frozen solid, the milk solids can be rinsed off the clarified butter with cold water, a butter knife or your finger to scrape off the tiniest pieces. Melt again as needed, or re-freeze for use later.

I have never tried that but it depends on the size of the particles. The strainer does have double mesh so be advised.I use it to strain larger particles, that is kefir grains. You could try when straining milk solid particles out of ghee but I use either a coffee filter or cheesecloth inside the strainer to catch the solids. It is a great quality product. I have all the sizes.

Hmmm not sure maybe it's the cream you are using. I use organic or raw cream when making my butter and I always get buttermilk when I let it strain properly. Sometimes you need to press the butter a little with a spoon to squeeze all the excess liquid. I also shake it for a really long time until Its fully solidified. And i learned that it makes it a lot easier when the cream is room temperature. Hope this helps :/

Absolutely. I've used it to blend hot gravy straight from the oven roaster. cooked veggies and all.

It came with a smaller container that is supposed to be for food processing. Yes, you definitely can make milk shakes. But, I have no idea if it could make peanut butter. I wanted it to make smoothies, but it does not chop or blend frozen fruit well at all. That is why I bought it, so I was disappointed from that aspect. I would just be concerned that if it can not chop frozen fruit well, it may not successfully blend peanuts into peanut butter.

You should probably use glass mason jars for that. Or a big stainless steel pot, then pour it into the plastic containers when the buttermilk is cool. I wouldn't put boiling liquid into plastic.

No, honestly I don't think so. It's not fine enough. If you are straining milk I would spring for an even finer mesh or go the old-fashioned cheescloth route.

To make ghee involves the process of melting and simmering butter so no ghee can be claimed as a raw product. For raw milk butter you may want to try Organic Pastures Dairy for they sell great quality raw dairy products (in CA). Or simply search for organic raw dairy products in your local area.

I would say that you probably could. The mesh is very fine and I bought it so I can rinse lentils and split peas. It also strains pasta perfectly. This is a very good strainer.

Easily. Just make sure you have a wooden pestle or similar tool to gently for the material through the strainer.

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.

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.

Yes, I have used it to heat up milk in a 700 watt microwave oven for about 30 seconds, then shook it to mix up the milk.

You could definity make regular yogurt in this if you wanted to. It includes a strainer for the last step of straining out some of the whey. You would just skip this last step for regular yogurt.

It would probably work great with melted butter but the outer bristles probably aren't stiff enough for your intended use.

I think it can. I have only made soy and almond milk, but rice milk would be fine too. There are not a lot of instructions when you get it, so look on line.

I use mine for straining butter and oil from my magic butter machine. It worked great !! I didn't wash it first though.

Yes, but the bottom is not a thick piece of metal like a stockpot. The contents of the container will heat up rapidly instead of gradually, so you would have to watch it closely to prevent the milk from burning.
