Should milk be boiled

It is dangerous to give raw milk to a child, as it can be a source of many diseases. In addition, there are many culinary recipes where boiled milk is used.

To prevent the milk from burning when boiling, rinse the pan with cold water and add a little sugar to the milk while boiling. It is better to have dishes in your arsenal that you will use only for boiling milk.

If you are not sure about the freshness of the milk, then boil a small portion of milk first to test. To save slightly stale milk from curdling during boiling, a pinch of soda added to the milk when it boils will help. And most importantly - watch the milk during the process so that it does not run away. After all, it is easier to follow a few minutes than to wash the stove and dishes afterwards.

Step 1

In order to boil milk, we need milk, a saucepan (preferably with a thick bottom and stainless steel), water, sugar, soda (if necessary).

Step 2

Rinse the pan well with cold water, but it is better to pour a thin layer of water on the bottom of the pan.

Step 3

Add milk.

Step 4

Add sugar, and if you are not sure that the milk will not curdle, then add a pinch of soda instead of sugar. It should neutralize the small amount of lactic acid that starts to form when the milk sits for a while.

Step 5

Bring the milk to a boil over low heat. Keep an eye on the foam that will form so that the milk does not “run away”. Remove the foam after boiling.

Step 6

Cool the milk quickly by placing the pan of milk in another bowl of cold water. After cooling, cover the pot with a lid and refrigerate for storage or use immediately as directed.
