How To: Render regular butter into clarified butter

Before watching this video, we thought there was only one type of butter: The kind you buy in sticks or in plastic containers at the grocery store and toss into all your foods for extra flavor. But apparently butter is a much more complex foodstuff than we thought.

Check out this video to learn how to create clarified butter, which has a higher boiling point than regular butter. This means you can use it in a bunch more recipes.
