How To Scald Milk In The Microwave

  3. Using a thermometer test the temperature in the middle of the milk (make sure the thermometer is not touching the bowl).

Notes

  • Use deep pans or deep mixing bowls when heating milk in case it boils over or in case you shake it when moving to test the temperature.
  • Stir frequently so that the milk heats up evenly.
  • Use a wooden spoon or silicone spoon to stir as metal can react with the milk.
  • Make sure the thermometer is touching only the milk and not the sides of the bowl or saucepan when reading to make sure you get an accurate temperature.
  • Remove the bowl from the microwave carefully, using oven mitts to avoid burning your hands.
  • There are 8 WW Blue Plan Points in one serving of this.
