Use a gravy separator. Melt butter in a pan, then pour it into
the gravy separator. Let it sit for a minute to let the solids either
float to the top or sink to the bottom.

The first little bit out of the spout will be some of the solids that
float. Discard it. The next bit will be mostly the solids that sank
to the bottom. Discard that too. The rest will be clarified butter.
Throw pan and separator into the dishwasher.

(Actually, I don't discard any of the solids, but instead save them
to smear on English muffins, whatever.)
