How I acquired 10 pounds of brown butter:
At work on Sunday a co-worker of mine (Fancy Toes Panda) browned about 10 pounds of butter.Unfortunately for him it was unusable for his recipe. As he prepared to throw it away my co worker (Dirty panda) stopped him stating that I would take it home.
Now lets be honest savory cook friends of mine. 10 pounds of brown butter can be a exciting, and fun challenge. It may be a tad bit glutinous . But you only live once right? Also butter is kinda expensive so free butter is better that buying it right?
My over all goal is to keep you informed with things I use the brown butter for. Oh, FYI my roommates will help me eat all these cooked items.
So far....
Dinner: 4 tbsp of brown butter
sauteed with sweet potato, Bok choy, zucchini, and parm cheese tossed with penne pasta and, finished with a splash of sherry vin. Shared with Gina
Breakfast: 1 tbsp
3 farm eggs scrambled with brown butter. Shared with Gina.
Farm share= a weekly scramble to get ride of all veggies in house. New veggies come today so.... I made potato leek soup. naturally I used 3 tbsp of brown butter to cook down the veg in.
Dinner: 6 tbsp brown butter
My roommate needed me to cook chili for a dinner party she was having at our house. So...I sauteed all the veg for the chili in brown butter. Shared with 5 people. Still left overs.

Fancytoes panda? :)
I'm trying to guess how many weeks it will take you to get through those 10 pounds if you're only using a couple tablespoons at a time.
I think you need to make a huge batch of brown butter blondies!
Agreed! Thanks mega!
Brown Butter is my fave panda. seriously. I imagine most recipes with it. I have a cookie recipe for you.
