Geklärte

geklärte is a German term that translates to "clarified" or "explained" in English. It is most commonly used in the context of food preparation, particularly with butter. Geklärte Butter, or clarified butter, is made by gently heating butter and removing the milk solids and water content. This process raises the smoke point of the butter, making it ideal for high-heat cooking methods like frying and sautéing. It also has a longer shelf life than regular butter due to the removal of moisture, which can lead to spoilage.

Beyond culinary applications, the term "geklärte" can also refer to a situation that has been made clear or resolved. For example, a misunderstanding could be "geklärte," meaning it has been explained and is no longer a point of confusion. In a more technical sense, it can describe a liquid that has been purified or settled, removing any impurities. The specific meaning depends heavily on the context in which the word is used.
