Melted butter is simply solid butter that has been gently heated until liquefied. Comprised primarily of milk fat, with trace amounts of water and milk solids, butter is derived from churning cream. It holds a significant place in global cuisines, such as French and Indian cooking, where its rich, smooth texture and flavor enhance countless dishes. Melted butter is often used for cooking, baking, or as a topping for foods like seafood and vegetables. While butter is a good source of vitamins A, D, E, and K, its high saturated fat content has raised concerns about excessive consumption potentially contributing to heart disease. Moderation is key, as small quantities can add depth and indulgence to meals without adverse effects. For those seeking a healthier alternative, clarified butter (ghee) offers similar culinary benefits while removing most milk solids.
