Can butter burn???!
Answers: i was just wonderin cause me and by friend are makeing cookies and she says i put too much on the pan to greese it and says it'll burn. so can it???
The milk solids in butter burn; clarified butter does not burn because it has had all its milk solids removed.
You shouldn't be greasing a pan to make cookies... use parchment paper instead. It's reusable, recyclable, relatively inexpensive (it comes in rolls at your grocery store) and easier!
The rule is
Oil for heat, and butter for flavor
Yes, butter burns easily. You shouldn't have to use grease for cookies anyways. The directions never say to use grease or butter.
Yes, butter can burn, and it seems to be really disgusting when it does. This can happen in your cookies, and also when you are melting butter.
Yes, it turns brown & bitter.
You can minimize this by clarifying it before using it.
Melt butter over gentle heat, remove froth, discard sediment.
yes butter can burn. But I wouldn't worry about it burning in the oven,.
Yes it can burn and become a nutty flavor. If you're just making cookies i think you'd be ok. Some sauces called for brown butter, in which case the sauce will have a nutty flavor. However, just use oil next time because butter can be really tricky to deal with sometimes.
Yes it can.It goes brown.
Yes buttercan burn, it gets brown and icky
your oven is 325 -350f
so Yes it can (but not flame) just get very dark brown not quite black..
best to use Crisco for the pan
butter for the dough...
Butter can burn. First it melts, then browns, then it smokes and burns.
If you have too much butter on the cookie sheet, wipe it with a paper towel until there's just a film of butter. Reuse the paper towel for the next cookie sheet.
Next time, use a vegetable oil instead of butter; the smoking point is higher.
Put some butter in a pan, turn up the heat. Just wtach it go!
Yes. That's where you get butterscotch from.
Unless you have chunks of butter on the cookie sheet, using it to grease the sheet is no big deal. Recipes say not to grease, but they can stick. It depends on the cookie sheet. I have stoneware, which never needs to be greased, and I have airbake sheets, which I just spray with a little PAM.
Yes, butter can burn easily if you are not careful.
Yes pan gets too hot before you put in butter....it'll burn
Yes. You should use shortening or cooking spray on your pans, never butter.
Butter will burn at high temperatures.
Yes it will and turn brown. Some recipes call for this. If you do this unsupervised you will get a visit from the fire department.
Yes, it can.
