- The secret to making good aromatic ghee lies in careful browning of the residue. The darker / browner the residue gets, the more aromatic the ghee will be.
- When the microwave cooking time for a step exceeds 2 minutes, it is highly recommended the contents be checked and stirred at regular intervals to avoid burning of food.
