Will Butter Burn At 400 Degrees?
Yes, butter will likely burn at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. The smoke point of unsalted butter is around 350-375 degrees Fahrenheit, while the smoke point of salted butter is slightly higher at around 375-400 degrees Fahrenheit. However, once butter starts to smoke and burn, it can affect the taste and aroma of the dish, so it is often recommended to use oils with higher smoke points for high-heat cooking.
