How do you guys store ghee on trips?
I like to premeasure everything at home so all I have to do is toss meals in the pot and boil. I've been looking at ghee as a butter alternative in recipes because it is more shelf stable. I just don't see a great way to store it. If I don't premeasure, a squeeze tube would work really well but I don't see those available.

I pack either ghee or butter in a small (2-3 inch) nalgene with a wide top. I just estimate how much to add to everything. I find these are pretty easy to load with butter or ghee, give easy access, and don’t leak. I use to use a Coughlan squeeze tubes, but found on cool mornings it was too stiff to squeeze and on hot days it was too runny and may leak.

The plastic jar it came in. Lately we have been using butter flavor Crisco to fry our fish. Much easier to transport than oil.

Repack in a smaller plastic container (I heat it to liquefy & pour into the new container).
I get about 4 fish fries out of this (~2/3rds of a cup) on a solo trip, though I am sparing - using just enough to crisp & being sure there is basically none left at the end.
Ghee is an item that varies wildly in consistency and taste from one brand to the next, as I discovered the hard way.
