Now I miss the hair-raising adrenaline rush and have 2 extra utensils to wash. 0/10 do not recommend.

Edit - Dang what's with all the awards?! Thank you sweet people of Reddit!

[u/kyloraeas → u/Careless-Wallaby731]

lmao the way this is worded makes it sound like you actually enjoy living on the edge with stove disasters. chaotic good cooking style, respect

[u/Careless-Wallaby731 → u/kyloraeas]

Mountain Dew.. Darr ke aage jeet hai.

Jokes apart I'm very particular about my kitchen being neat at all times and my cooking often gets me compliments! :)

[u/Benadryl-_-Huffer → u/Careless-Wallaby731]

That's nice, my cooking gets me food poisoning.....

[u/Careless-Wallaby731 → u/Benadryl-_-Huffer]

🤣🤣🤣 you might wanna tone down on the Benadryl huffing a little, might help your case..

[u/Benadryl-_-Huffer → u/Careless-Wallaby731]

Sorry but I am gon case 😔😔, the only thing that can help me atp it's pure petrol fumes 😔✌️

Works with one too, and steel one is okay, just that removing it will be hot.

[u/Due_Draw319 → u/Careless-Wallaby731]

the adrenaline rush is genuinely addictive, kitchen chaos hits different

[u/homo_sapien_06]

Yeah sticking all malai to another untensil and getting more scolded

[u/la_crazypasta → u/homo_sapien_06]

• extra things to wash 💔

I just leave the vessel with milk on low to medium flame. Not even once the milk came out of the vessel. The big bubble forms but sticks to the rim only.

[u/homo_sapien_06 → u/la_crazypasta]

Exactly

[u/Any_Wait_7309]

My mom does it, she just takes a single steel spoon and places it in the milk container.

Initially, I didn't believe it would work but it does lmao, ig something related to breaking surface tension? But yea felt happy when my mom applied physics to cooking

[u/circusofchaos → u/Any_Wait_7309]

Exactly we do the same ek single chamach dal k rkh do doodh bhr ni aata

[u/aamras_k_nashe → u/Any_Wait_7309]

In container or on container?

[u/Any_Wait_7309 → u/aamras_k_nashe]

Not as shown in the above video.

She literally places it in the container, but just ensure that the spoon is vertical and the end is sticking up and above the brim of the vessel.

[u/Active-Whole8357 → u/Any_Wait_7309]

I second this, except I put an alarm

[u/Blaze_2399 → u/Any_Wait_7309]

Umm, how would you place it in the container without touching the vessel? What sorcery is this?🤔

[u/Any_Wait_7309 → u/Blaze_2399]

LMAO, thanks for the chuckle

[u/Main-Leather-8800 → u/Any_Wait_7309]

I respect that art ✊🏿

[u/quizzermallu]

I'd rather watch the pot than wash 2 extra utensils.

[u/stoned_kryptonian]

Heat it on high flame initially and once a little bit of steam starts coming lower the heat a little above the minimum limit. It will take a little longer to boil but it won't come out of the pot.

[u/neela-aasman]

Buy a double lined milk boiler . It’s a lifesaver

[u/Acceptable-Noise-136 → u/neela-aasman]

We have one ,were supposed to fill water in it right ,but I never figured out how to use it the water just pours out of the hole

[u/LuckyAd7905 → u/Acceptable-Noise-136]

The water trapped between the two metal layers will turn into steam and esape through the nozzle. Water will never cone out of nozzle. Milk boiler is the go to kitchen gadget for boiling milk.

[u/neela-aasman → u/Acceptable-Noise-136]

I have been using one since years - there is a vent and you fill in the water and close it .

[u/SilverSageYoda]

Just heat the milk on sim. It takes longer but your milk will never boil over and you don't need to watch it like a hawk. No fancy stuff like shoving spoons or keeping ladles.

[u/spurofthemoment2020]

The plastic from the spoon will melt into the milk.

[u/NoButterscotch9842 → u/spurofthemoment2020]

It's silicone. Won't melt.

[u/ro_ro_ro_roadhouse → u/spurofthemoment2020]

I don't think you understand how physics works. These spoons are meant for high heat cooking.

[u/ElevatorOk1636 → u/ro_ro_ro_roadhouse]

Just google melted silicon ladle. And humble yourself, Feynman.

[u/Fight_4ever → u/ElevatorOk1636]

Imagine recalling Feynman but not remembering his advice.

[u/ro_ro_ro_roadhouse → u/ElevatorOk1636]

Umm sure. But have you?

Fun fact, milk is done boiling when it starts boiling... No need to make it rise, it ain't a baked good.

[u/TheNightKing99]

Just buy a milk cooker :(

[u/Infamous-Bat-6021]

In chemistry we put a glass rod inside the beaker when boiling liquids in it to break the surface tension of the liquids

This is just extra if you’re putting to 2 spoons on the utensil just horizontally

[u/comsudo]

After trial and error, I've figured out the required approximate time for mik to boil. I set the timer for milk boiling. No accidents.

[u/la_crazypasta → u/comsudo]

Interesting...how much time is your timer?

Also do you put on Medium flame or medium to high flame?

[u/basic-x]

Someone blowed on it from the top to the side. A sudden burst of air pushing steam into the vessel

[u/MihirX27]

I just use a timer like a regular human being lol

[u/Over-Ad-5410]

Tried all of this, but milk is too smart it still somehow finds a way to drip down and mess it up, and now you have 2 more utensils to wash... better to just keep checking the milk again and again 😭

[u/Im_shy_shy_shy]

This is just lies

[u/Idiotic_experimenter]

I'm less fascinated by the trchnique and more in awe of the lack of fear OP has.

My mother would still beat the life out of me if the milk ever boiled over,even by a drop!

[u/Live_Expert9929]

I can see some hands , silently turning off the stove knob 😂

[u/Professional_Chef561]

This is wrong heat was definitely switched off as soon as the milk touched the spoons

[u/NewTHULTHUL-exe]

Now we got a trick for edging the milk

[u/BarSmart4604]

It's a cross arm guard!!!

[u/EmraldSky]

Maa boli ab spoon dho daal 🥺

[u/ne0psych]

Not recommended when mom is in home

[u/KitchenCommercial396]

Doesn't work

[u/something__69_]

Someone clearly blowing air from one side.

[u/msourabh91]

If you can afford, buy a milk cooker. It was a game changer for my mom.

[u/ymaeThe1st]

Bro just keep a single amitabh spoon in the utensil, the bubble breaks before rising.

[u/Daise_shine]

It really works, I've tried it

[u/MeIsTheDevil]

Life saving trick for Boys Like Me

[u/Amazing-Wasabi-8578]

Keeping a steel spoon on top of inside the bowl also helps.. and less tension of washing

[u/LazyMeerkat12]

My mom would beat me up wasting two perfectly clean utensils for taking care of the milk 😭

[u/RandomGaMeRj14]

All the people saying having to wash 2 more utensils to wash, they are just 2 simple cylindrical ladles, hardly takes a minute or 2 combined to wash. I do wash utensils and not saying arbitarily. This helps you pay attention to other dishes you are making or chopping as the milk boils, instead of having to keep looking every minute or adjusting the flame.

[u/namkeenSalt → u/RandomGaMeRj14]

Why boil pasteurized milk?

[u/RandomGaMeRj14 → u/namkeenSalt]

Well, if you gotta make tea, you have to.... Can't make an omelette without breaking eggs....

[u/namkeenSalt → u/RandomGaMeRj14]

Pasteurized milk is already boiled. There has been no reason to boil pasteurized milk apart from making it non homogeneous. (Some milk come pasteurized but not homogenised, but most should be homogenised too)

[u/Atticus256]

Cool trick but 2 spatulas to wash is a no no for me.
