hey i got a question
ive made butter once, boiling a pound of unsalted butter (does it matter if its salted or not?) then adding an ounce of shake into it, then i kept it on low heat for about 3-4 hours and strained it through a cheesecloth and let it cool till the butter comes out

now since i dont have a scale or nothing, ive been keeping my budin this classico tomato/pesto 700ml jar which looks like this:



and since i dont have acess to a scale really, how much shake should be in the jar till i can do another batch of butter? When I do the 1oz / 1lb unsalted butter thing it lasts me a while. But I just wanna know how much shake in this jar (my shake's pretty fine, no large clumps, mainly residue from the rolling and bottom of the bag stuff (which is still quite a bit).

anywho thanks for any help

ps any good recipes for pot butter, so far ive been just doing add water packets of muffin and cookies and they kinda suck, my wife is more then willing to bake if i can find a good recipe, that fudgy minty stuff.....

There are good recipes on this site and many others. It sounds like your overall approach is good. I don't know how it measures out but a third to half of that jar would probably make a potent batch of butter.

WHAT dude no 700 ml... dude full that would be maybe just shy of 21 grams IF you're lucky but I would rather say like... 17? 18?

I dunno, I would think that an ounce would fill up a 1000ml container unbusted so... but that's just me guessing.


as far as "unsalted" or "salted" butter... I would guess that you'd want unsalted butter, as the method for clarifying butter is to simmer lightly (until all salt has risen to the top of the butter, so then you either skim off the salt or end up with some HELLA salty shit).

Go with unsalted.

i don't think you could get 21g or even 17 in one of those jars, and shake is hella light, so i'd say closer to under a half oz.. maybe like 12g of shake in one of those jars, and that would be on the heavy side.
