Vocabulary
From/of/out of
Hi,
I know the difference between "from" and "of" in the following examples:
Butter is made from milk. X This house is made of bricks.
What I'd like to know is when I can use "out of" in these contexts.

Butter is made out of milk.
and
This house is made out of bricks.
Am I right?
Butter is made out of milk.
and
This house is made out of bricks.
Am I right?
