When melted butter soldifies in the refrigerator is that physical or chemical change?

When melted butter solidifies in the refrigerator, it is a physical change. The butter is simply changing from a liquid state to a solid state due to the decrease in temperature, with no change in its chemical composition.


What is best creamed or melted butter for cakes?

In most cake recipes, the butter is creamed and blended with the sugar. Melted butter has different mixing qualities and would change the consistency of the batter. Melted butter should not be used unless specifically called for in the recipe.

Is melted butter and irreversible change?

Typically, yes. Butter is a mixture of fat and milk solids. Once melted the fats separate from the milk solids. 'Clarified' butter, or ghee, is the separated butter fat, often used in Indian cooking, as a canning sealer, or as a dip for steamed shellfish. Clarified butter, once separated from the milk solids, does not require refrigeration to keep it from going rancid, however, it must be kept cool to maintain its solidity.


Can melted butter or fat change back to a solid butter or fat?

Animal fats such as lard from pork or dripping from beef can be melted and will become a solid again when they go cold, however dairy fats such as butter will still return to a solid, but never to it's original 'creamy' solid state once it has been melted.


What should the mass of the liquid butter be once it is melted?

The mass of the liquid butter will be the same as the mass of the solid butter before melting, assuming no loss of butter during the melting process. However, the volume will change due to the change in state from solid to liquid.

Can melted butter turn back to a solid?

Yes it can ; anything which has been melted can be solidified by cooling it down and will change back to its normal state.


Why does butter taste different after it has been melted and re-solidified?

Even melting butter at very slowly (for instance in a small saucepan, rather than on HIGH in a microwave) will result in the same change. The reason butter tastes different (because it has a different texture) after it has been melted is the same reason butter needs to be churned -- there is actually no chemical change that takes place when butter is heated and melted gently -- it is primarily the calcium and other minerals in the mixture coming out of solution, and clumping together in a less coarser, less-smooth, uniform manner.
