Topic: Making Ghee

[Cory Ander]

A question to those of you who make your own ghee....

.....how do you (i.e. what do you use) to separate the ghee from the solids? 

I've used paper coffee filters, which are far too slow and wasteful, but otherwise work fine, and fabric coffee filters, which are fast, but don't efficiently remove the solids.

Any other suggestions would be most welcome

Never tryed to be honest, but i do make paneer cheese and use a muslin cloth to catch the curds from the whey. not sure if that helps?.

I use a fine strainer. Two round trips between containers and the solids are 99% gone.

I used to use a muslin / cook's cloth, but found it too messy.

Thanks for your advice UB and Josh.

I understand lining a sieve with several layers of muslin cloth works well.  I'll give that a go
