Transcript

I wish more people knew why they should cook cream this far. There’s a reason I’m boiling this cream. Keep cooking heavy cream and eventually you cook off the water. The butterfat separates, and then the milk solids begin to brown in that fat. That browning creates those deep, nutty, caramelized flavors we love in brown butter. Basically, we took heavy cream and kept going until it became something completely different. It makes the biggest brown butter pieces ever!
