why milk can’t be used for boiling in electric kettle?
In: Other
Does anyone else remember that post on r/tifu about a kid that used an electric kettle to warm up milk and never cleaned the kettle?

It depends on the kettle, but the reason you don’t use it to boil milk is because it’s difficult to clean. The way to do it (at least how I do it) is to put the milk in a container that fits in the kettle (and doesn’t burn) then do a bath boil like in a lab. This way, the water is boiled and the milk is boiled. I also do that with eggs, but that’s mostly cause I’m lazy.
The sugar and proteins in the milk will stick to and coat the heating element and ruin the milk. The”burnt milk heating element” coating is incredibly hard to get of and the taste will leech in to the water in the kettle.
