Russian oil: reviews and photos

Since ancient times in Russia, for cooking many dishes, mistresses used ghee - milk fat, devoid of sugar, milk proteins and most of the moisture. The so-called "Russian oil" (ghee) was able to persist for a sufficiently long time even at room temperature. In modern housewives, it enjoys considerable popularity. It is known that some other products are also called "Russian oil".

History

In the absence of refrigerators, butter in Russia was kept very poorly, so it was prepared in small quantities, to the table. For frying housewives a melted product was used, which, in view of its popularity, began to be called Russian oil. This product was manufactured at relatively low temperatures. The oil was heated only before the separation of fats and proteins, and then the filtration of its non-fat part was performed. In Russia, the weather has been relatively cold for most of the year. Since ancient times, here traditionally used cellars or glaciers. Therefore, after perevotki "Russian oil" has always been the ability to cool before solidification. The non-fat part, which at the same time remained liquid, was separated and drained.

Options

It is the ability to persist for a long time brought popularity to melted butter in hot countries. Habitual inhabitants of medium latitudes butter is practically not used there, as it spoils quite quickly. There are many recipes for making melted butter. But globally, technologies are divided into two main groups. The first includes a high-temperature oil furnace, which involves burning out the non-fat residue. The most famous ghee oil belongs to this group .

The second group is represented directly by "Russian oil" (the method of preparation is described above). The difference in the recipe is due to differences in climatic conditions. In hot countries, in the absence of a refrigerator, it was impossible to heat oil by another technology.

In India, ghee is considered a cure for many diseases. According to reviews, this taste differs from the Russian analogue. Ghi, as users say, has a light nutty flavor and flavor, the shelf life of it exceeds this parameter in the Russian version. Long-term heat treatment caramelizes protein and milk sugar, as a result of which the product is given a peculiar aroma and amber color.
