Next, prepare a heavy surface that will act as a press. A saucepan or a cup can be used for this, depending on the amount of product. Press the egg mass down with a press, with the other hand collect the yellowish-brown liquid that is released. It is best to do this with a sterile bandage that is rolled into a roll. These materials are best prepared ahead of time to save time during the egg butter preparation process. For work, you will need from 10 or more of these bandages. When the liquid ceases to stand out, this means that the oil collection process is coming to an end. Be sure to squeeze out any residue from the rollers, for example with a garlic thresher.
Store cooked butter in a cool place, such as a refrigerator. The shelf life of a natural product is no more than 10 days.
