Any of you guys use this to cook with? If so, what type do you use? Also, what do you think of it in general?
+1I've used it a few times...homemade, though you can get jars of it in Indian grocers.
It's really just clarified butter. Much like other forms of butter, it's quite rich, but Ghee seems a bit more neutral to me.
Overall, I think it's too much trouble to keep around...I just use EVOO for everything
Also, all those saturated fats aren't the best thing for heart health.

Ghee is useful if you are doing high-temperature frying, as its smoke point is higher than most common oils. Whether it's worth the bother to make your own or the expense to buy it is up to you. I've switched over to coconut oil.

thats just crazy!^ I may have labor beat. ... our primary cooking fat on meat station for ALL searing is duck fat. basting is just good butter but everything gets seared in duck fat. kinda blew my mind when i first started, but .. i just work there
The difference between ghee and clarified butter is that you toast the milk solids before clarifying ghee... tried to work out the flavor but its never turned out quite like the stuff my Nepali friend keep at home. Might be time spent on the heat, might be the breed of dairy or maybe its just additives in store bought stuff, but I quite like it.

Ghee is what the farmers use around here to extract the active ingredients from herb to make medicinal baked goods.
