How to Measure Ghee Correctly

Ghee should be measured when solid by spooning it into the measuring cup and levelling it off. For melted ghee, use a liquid measuring cup. For accuracy, use a kitchen scale.

Understanding Ghee Measurements

Ghee is clarified butter with the milk solids removed. One cup of ghee weighs approximately 218 grams. It has a higher smoke point than butter and a nutty, caramelized flavour. It's solid at room temperature but melts easily.

Common Uses in Baking & Cooking

Ghee is used in Indian cooking, baking, and as a substitute for butter. It adds richness and a nutty flavour to dishes. It's also used for frying and sautéing due to its high smoke point. If you need a substitute, see our Ghee substitution guide.

Storage and Handling Tips

Store ghee at room temperature in a cool, dark place. It can be kept for up to a year if stored properly. If it develops an off smell or becomes rancid, replace it.
