How to boil milk without it overflowing: tried and tested methods.

Boiled milk is not only a base for many dishes but also a beneficial drink on its own. Ukr.Media explains that to prevent the milk from burning, overflowing, and to retain its properties during cooking, it's advisable to use some tried-and-true culinary tricks.

First and foremost, it's important to use a separate pot for boiling milk, as hot liquids can absorb various odors. If you want to avoid burning the milk, opt for a pot with a thick bottom. Before placing it on the stove, rinse the pot with cold water.

Additionally, the milk will not overflow if you apply a thin layer of butter on the walls of the pot.

To prevent foam formation, stir the milk frequently during the boiling process. Also, as soon as the liquid reaches boiling temperature, cool it down quickly. With these two simple steps, you won't have to worry about foam spilling over.

Finally, experienced cooks often add a teaspoon of sugar (per liter of liquid) when boiling milk. This action is believed to protect against both burning and curdling of the product.
