Now let’s go over the saucepan method for melting butter. This is another common method because the saucepan evenly distributes heat throughout the butter, usually with minimal mess leftover. However, when using this method there is a chance that the butter can brown or even burn if you’re not keeping a close eye on it. In these cases, there can be quite a tough mess to have to deal with later on so be sure to stay close by!
