Had on setting 2 of 10 on stove top. I scooped off foam. Let sit and smelled like popcorn and then let sit some more and started to not smell as good. The bottom got a little darker than the photo. Any insight? I'm just looking for a little higher smoke point when I fry my sourdough/kefir/egg pancakes in the morning. #grownostr #foodstr

So the rule of thumb is to go until the liquid is translucent, ie when the solids are both completely skimmed off the top or stuck on the bottom. This looks correct, but it’s tough to do in stainless steel pans. Ghee is on the surface easy to make but there are several little things like this that need tweaking to have it dialed

Cast iron is better? It is a thick stainless bottom. I imagine doing it in cast iron would be really good seasoning.

I say it’s tough just because the solids can burn super quickly with stainless steel
