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.

Hi Paula.. honestly have not tried.. but cannot imagine that it will be difficult.. The machine is based on stones running against each other and we routinely grind rice. Rice is quite hard and hopefully almonds can be ok too... But.. no clue if the apparatus is a good option for the almond butter process overall.. Hope this is useful.. take care.. Rajesh

I am sure you can use it for anything to want to strain. So far I have just used it for yogurt. I like it better than my old cheese cloth. Hope this helps to answer your question.

I'm not sure about that since I've never tried straining cooking oil with it. However, the strainer is lined with a nice fine mesh, so it should do the job.

I use it to strain homemade ricotta. Line with cheese cloth and it will be fine.

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.

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 think it can although it won't taste the same as using regular butter. But he does say on his website that ghee can be used. I would probably use just the ghee and not the blend but it may end up being a matter of taste more than anything else.

I don't think it would do well. I tried to mix garlic and butter and the butter didnt work out. It would spin around a revolution or two and then move to the top and not make contact with the blades any longer

The best way to strain nut milk that I've found is to use a *CLEAN* nylon stocking or some cheese cloth... it sounds funny but works like a charm. Any strainer will have holes that are to big and these methods work really well.

This is a very heavy duty cutter that would incorporate the butter/shortening into your dry ingredients. After that, you would need to use a heavy duty mixer with dough hooks or your hands.

Yes. But you can lift out the strainer part and set a finer strainer within it. It would have to be a large one though but it would work in a pinch. Hope this helps you.

I have mircowaved mine for short periods of time, to soften butter or warm milk, something like that, and it has been fine. I am not sure I would use it to cook anything in, I am very protective of my Mason Cash mixing bowls and would hate to break one.

This is a STRAINER, not a yogurt MAKER. I use it to strain my dairy yogurt after it is made...it strains the liquid whey and a more solid, Greek yogurt, remains. If you need a strainer to make your non-dairy yogurt I do not see why it would not work. If a strainer is what you need, this one works great. It is a fine mesh.

Yes you can. Just make sure you do not over fill. I use mine to make anything "bready".

You can melt the butter in the top thing and pour it on after. You would have to season it after, since it doesn't drop through. I love my machine :)

Its hard to give a full answer because it isn't clear what you are trying to do with this. It doesn't hold anything. It is a funnel. I would say the capacity is about a half-litre or a little less. This is not a milk strainer one would use in cheese-making to strain raw milk. If you are using it to strain boiled milk to remove the skin that forms, it would probably work, though the small removable strainer might clog.ANd I don't think you would need a funnel for that anyway.
