Alternative to cheesecloth for clarified butter?

[JanellaR]

Is there a way to make clarified butter without cheesecloth? I would prefer not to have to throw it out every two me I make it.

After using, I generally rinse it out well in the sink with warm water/dishsoap then throw itin the washing machine with towels/ washcloths etc and

hang it out to air dry.  Been using the same piece of cloth for over a year now.

You can also use a nutmilk bag. I've heard that the tightly woven re-usable produce bags also work quite well. Or coffee filters which you could compost.

Glad to hear that.  I would love to try reusing it also...

I have tried other things with limited success.  Paper towels are not quite porous enough... nor are coffee filters.  I have a yogurt strainer that I recently tried as well.  It worked better than most things but some of the protein solids still got through.  A very small amount of that is going to get through anyway, but it will settle to the bottom of whatever container you are storing your ghee in before the whole batch solidifies, so just leave the last bit in the bottom of the jar.

I use a piece of an old white cotton tee-shirt, wash with kitchen towels and fold away for using with the next batch.

I use a reusable mesh coffee filter that came with my coffee pot.
