How to Boil Milk Properly: It Won't Run Over or Burn
To warm up a cup of milk, it is easier to use a microwave, but if you need to boil it, and in large quantities, then you can’t do without heating it on the stove in a saucepan.
True, you will have to guard the contents from the beginning to the very end, otherwise the milk will not run away. But at least you won't have to clean the stove.
Experienced cooks know that if you gape or turn away for just a second, all that's left to do is groan and gasp and quickly collect the white foam with sponges and napkins before it dries to the stove and burner. We'll tell you how to avoid such consequences.
Firstly, heating should take place exclusively over moderate heat, otherwise the contents will burn and then even run away.
Secondly, before you fill the pan with milk for boiling, rinse it with cold water and do not wipe it afterwards – this will reduce the risk of burning. You can also put a saucer upside down on the bottom of the pan so that the milk does not boil so violently.
Thirdly, the container for boiling milk is filled no more than halfway. This is just in case you suddenly have to get distracted at the most inopportune moment.
Fourthly, milk should be stirred while heating to prevent a film from forming on its surface.
Water bath
To avoid problems for sure, you can heat the product in a water bath. In this case, if it does run away, at least you won't have to wash the stove. This is how baked milk is made.
To do this, grease the sides of the pan in which the milk will be heated with butter, place it in a container with boiling water and finish the job.
