"Watchman" for milk (so as not to run away)

A riddle, the right subject, who will say why ...

And STE, for faq?

And we have at least heaps of these watchmen for milk. And in different sizes!
Search hardware stores.

Lissa, does it really work? I've never used one, how does it not run away?

Luysia, but I almost guessed ...
The watchman for milk, and the top one, his bourgeois counterpart,
pot watcher - pot watcher ...

Pakat, Yes, I never wondered, I have one made of stainless steel, but I would never have guessed about a bourgeois analogue (and the picture on it is pretty, voluminous)

I am generally not indifferent to cooks in a chef's cap!

Gypsy, Meanwhile, there is a device that eliminates the hassle of boiling milk. This is the "milk keeper". It is an enamel or porcelain circle with a raised spout, which is placed on the bottom of the pot. The nose directs the air bubbles gathering under the circle as if in a single stream. It is many times stronger than scattered bubbles and therefore easily breaks through thick milky liquid. Milk boils, but does not rise up with a frothy cap and does not run away.

"Milk Watchman" is sold in shops selling household items.

Gypsy, such a watchman, as in the bottom photo, I remember my entire adult life with my grandmother. Now he is with my mother. Works. The milk boils, but does not "run away".

Here is the hilarity. I have such a thing lying around in a drawer, so it fits on the neck of glass jars. So I used it as a cover. Thank you for enlightening the dark.

Once upon a time, I had such a stainless steel watchdog for milk in Soviet Ukraine. Helped, roughly, like a "dead poultice". Now they add something like this to pasteurized milk that: firstly, you don't need to boil it, and secondly, if you boil it, it gurgles regularly, without foaming or boiling ... Therefore, I buy natural milk directly from the kibbutz farm and boil it in a slowcooker. There it does not boil away and turns out to be melted.

Once upon a time, we had such a stainless steel watchdog for milk in Tashkent. Worked fine, knocked when milk tried to escape. But if you did not remove the milk from the fire, it began to boil harder and the bubbles turned this watchman, he is light.
Ceramic is heavier, it doesn't roll over, milk boils but doesn't escape. And any milk tries to run away, despite the additives.

Pakat, one immediately senses that he left Izrailovka long ago. Believe it or not, Tnuva does not boil, but gurgles evenly. At one time, even in the press, there was a scandal that Tnuva added silicone to milk so that it would not run away.

And my mother had a different one, only it seems for a gas stove, you put it on the stove, like a flat double sieve, and already a pan of milk on it and nothing runs away. that's how we made baked milk.

Can you put it in porridge?

Gypsy, I have their stainless steel watchman. Great thing.
I don't cook porridge with it, but I cook milk soups.

it is a divider for fire, it is not for milk.

Well, right, it is suitable for milk and jam, never runs away and does not burn, and you don't need to put anything in milk.

And if the pan is modern, with a non-stick coating, then it's scary to put such a watchman there, the bottom will screech. Interestingly, maybe there are the same, but siliconized?

Only from running away, from burning, the divider saves, it happens under a saucepan, more often a frying pan, I put two dividers at once and get the effect of a slow cooker on the stove. But more often I like to fry fish in breadcrumbs so gently.

and it also protects from sticking, yes? Or just from the runaway?

To prevent the milk from burning, before pouring milk into the pan, rinse it (pan) with cold water, then pour the milk. A small amount of water after rinsing does not need to be poured out. Let there be a little at the bottom, it will not affect the taste of milk.

And then I boil twice every week.

Do not boil in an enamel bowl. Over time, the enamel becomes more porous and sticky. Better stainless steel.

There is a wonderful Gipfelevsky cauldron WITH A SPOUT !!!!!!!!! for spilling.
And it BURNS in it!

Every other time in Gipfel, the smell of all milk will be greeted

And what is the Gipfel coating?

Nice saucepan. It's strange that the milk burns. Doesn't it boil over high heat?

I think a cold water rinse should help. Before boiling milk, soak a saucepan or citric acid overnight with vinegar and rinse well. And then, perhaps, the stickiness will not go away if it has burned so many times in the same place.

Posting my favorite dividers. They work for me singly or in pairs. They look working. On the second side there is a removable or folding handle, which is very convenient for storage.

The divider is very similar to the fat net, but they are still different things. I have a divider without a handle, Czech, there is a fine mesh with a herringbone pattern made of special heat-resistant wire. And just the cover-mesh from the splashes will burn out immediately, because it was not intended for this.

Really, not everyone has a stainless steel watchman In Soviet times, their shaft was in grocery stores. We have both stainless steel and enamelled houses. And I have it somewhere in the boxes. But the milk ran away, if it did not hear the sound of the watchman in time. This was the function of this watchman.
Now we are buying pasteurized mooko

An aluminum saucepan is best for boiling milk. To prevent the milk from escaping, I rinse the pan with cold water, put a tea saucer on the bottom, pour the milk and put it on the gas, such a "watchman" does an excellent job.

RolandS, do you make yogurt? Or just buy fresh from private traders?
In our country, for the most part, pasteurized milk is sold. True, it is sometimes imported from the subsidiary farm, but then it is necessary to catch it, but pasteurized milk is always in the store

Now we are buying pasteurized mooko

If you drink it, then yes. But for cereals, it doesn't matter where to go, you have to boil it, even if it is pasteurized or not.

We just haven't learned how to cook milk porridge without boiling yet.

Yes, it is necessary to boil for now, but to cook - not always. Instant flakes - this is understandable, but I got used to doing semolina porridge like this - I just throw semolina with sugar into the boiled milk (turn it off), stir, cover and wrap the pan with something - a terry towel, for example. I can put it near the battery. And I forget for 40 minutes - an hour. Perfectly. No stickiness for you, yummy!

This is when time suffers And when porridge is needed now, and not after 40 minutes You cannot do without boiling and cooking
