When we are boiling the milk, we usually turn back for a moment and then boom!! Like a volcano, we see the milk raging over the pot and stove. Thus, the struggle is real and complex because eventually, we have to clean all that mess before Hitler arrives. Well, let us learn how to prevent the milk from boiling over. So here are some quick, easy, reliable tips to prevent milk from spilling over.

Tip 1- Rub Butter On The Rim Of The Vessel:

Take a vessel, rub butter on the rim, and pour milk. It prevents milk from spilling at the time of boiling. This is an easy trick that saves the milk from over boiling.

Tip 2- Keep a Wooden Spatula On The Vessel: 

Another easy and reliable tip is to keep a wooden spatula in the milk vessel. Place this wooden ladle in the middle of the pot, which acts as a security valve and can prevent milk from spilling over. Again, ensure you keep stirring between the intervals.

Tip 3- Sprinkle Some Water Drops On The Milk Foam: 

If these above tips seem a bit difficult, then you can for a simpler option. You can sprinkle a few drops of water on milk foam, and the milk will go down. Just make sure you don’t sprinkle a lot of water. You can use this tip to boil the milk on a low flame, preventing it from boiling over.

Tip 4- Always Use Stainless Steel Vessel:

Boil milk in a stainless steel container and keep this on a low to medium flame. The high flame can make the milk stick and cause a firm black thick layer at the bottom, which is hard to eliminate.

Tip 5- Pour Some Water To The Vessel:

This is a pretty simple and convenient tip to prevent spilling. All you need to do is to pour some water and then add milk to the vessel. You can also add cold water as it makes an anti-burning protecting layer on the milk. Boil on a low flame, and the milk will never witness any disaster again.

Tip 6- Double Boil Method:

This method is often used to melt the chocolate or butter without burning. All you need to do is take a big vessel and fill 1/4 th of it with water. Now keep this on a low flame and let the water boil. This method takes more time as compared to usual, but it doesn’t spill your milk.

The above hacks will prevent the milk from over spilling. So now say bye-bye to unnecessary scrubbing and cleaning.
