Milk cooker - cook in a water bath

I dug in my stockpots and pulled out a saucepan called a "milk cooker".

Milk cooker - cooking in a water bath

The body of the pan has double walls, between which water is poured, which eliminates the burning of any product.

Any porridge is prepared without stirring, since the milk will never creep out, it will not escape from the pan, the porridge will not be lumps.

The saucepan has a whistle that notifies when the water is boiling and that the optimal temperature for heating the liquid (milk) has been reached in the saucepan.
Thus, milk porridge is cooked in a water bath.

In such a saucepan, in a water bath, many delicate dishes can be cooked without stirring, where active stirring is not required, sauces, creams, butter, chocolate, honey, herbal infusions and much more.

If you do not have a rice cooker or multicooker for various reasons, and you really want to cook a delicious breakfast for yourself and for your children - feel free to purchase a MILK COOKER and cook porridge, puddings, omelets in a water bath!

Believe me, this does not take much time, and sometimes even faster than in a multicooker.

Bon appetit, everyone!

What a cool saucepan and where is this sold?

I had such a saucepan, they cooked porridge in it all the time, but with the advent of the induction hob I had to give it to my mother. Unfortunately, my stove does not recognize it

Gypsy, pots are sold at hardware stores where pots are.
Today I saw in my Dmitrov 1.5 liters of about the same design, import about $ 40 apiece

The bottom of the pan is even and thick, suitable for gas, electric, glass-ceramic stoves.

Admin, how long does the whole process of cooking porridge take?

Admin, how long does the whole process of cooking porridge take?

Omela, it all depends on the cereal. Semolina quickly, millet longer.
The water boils very quickly, then add the cereal, stir it once and wait.
I noticed that it cooks faster than in the Porridge mode in the multicooker.
What captivates me is that there is no violent boil (as in the cartoon), and the same fruits remain intact
Omela
Yes, but you can load the multicooker at night!)) For some reason, I just stopped liking the taste of multicooker porridge ...

I have a fresh porridge "5 Cereals" with frozen fruit is ready, while in the morning I do "personal affairs", for 15-20 minutes

It's a matter of taste and time, of course, but today I like cereals in a milk cooker more than multicooker
Omela
I want it already!!!!

They are called "Milk cookers".
But in order not to be deceived, and you are not deceived - remember the appearance of the pan in the first post, the presence of a hole with a whistle on the pan, the pan must be hollow inside (for water).
They are different in volume.
You can find our 4.5 liter Russian made of aluminum.

Good luck!
Omela
Admin, doubted the size of the saucepan.Tell me, pzhl, 1.5 liters seems to me not enough for 4 people? Should there still be a place on top? Or can you pour it to the very edge? Probably better to take 2.0L.
Admin
Omela, I cook porridge for 2-3 large portions - that's enough for us.

You are right, water must be poured before reaching the spout, water expands when boiling - it can run away - have already passed this

The pan is needed by the number of eaters, I agree
Omela
Admin, thanks for responding so quickly. Just for 1.5 liters, as they say, in bulk pots, and for 2 only ours and the description does not say that they have a whistle. And with a whistle German and only in St. Petersburg. Okay, let's search !!
nut
I have this still Soviet 3 liter. I was lying in the bins of my mother, I requisitioned her and have been using it for 5 years, I take milk on the farm, go to the state farm and sterilize or pasteurize it, I don't know how to do it right, in short how the whistle will sound, I keep it on medium heat for 25 minutes. and that's it, living milk is obtained and I cook porridge in it

After reading my favorite forum, I set out to buy myself a stainless steel milk cooker (since childhood, at our home it was an aluminum one with a whistle - a very useful thing). And I found 2L from Tescoma. In the online store I have repeatedly bought from them all sorts of things from Tescoma. The courier brought it. It is called a milk ladle. There is a whistle. I cannot insert a picture, but I insert a link to the picture. I am very pleased. You can cook porridge (an instruction is attached, where it is written that not only boil milk, but also cook like in a water bath, cook porridge ...). Thickened bottom. The lid helps to avoid foam formation.
🔗
It has already been tested many times. Inside the volume label. Internally, the bottom is rounded (hemispherical). Expensive, of course, but the thing immediately differs from other pots. The handle can be removed if necessary.
Omela
Yutan, thank you. But very much dear !!

nut, I had such a saucepan before, a long time ago - but then I still did not know how to use it to its fullest, only boiled milk.
In my youth, I did not understand all the power and charm of this pan
Admin

Several years ago I bought just such a saucepan with marks inside for 1.5 liters.

Milk cooker - cooking in a water bath

Yesterday I looked at the mark at the bottom - Tescoma.
That's just how much it costs today - I can't say
Elenka
Admin, thanks for this thread. It turns out to be a very necessary thing in the household. Got it. that I need her so much!
My family is already chuckling at my acquisition mania. But if it's no joke, then we often boil milk, then purchased farm for porridge, then for yogurt. The problem is keeping watch on the milk, it is always going to run away as soon as you look away for a second. And if it can be used for porridge, then it has no price! Already one looked at the 1.5L Bergof (right in the store not far from home). I still want to run and choose. This one unscrews the whistle, I think it's not very convenient.
Admin

Elenka, so, it turns out that such a pan is needed on the farm
Well forgotten old!

I, too, now make porridge only in a milk cooker, very tasty!
But pay attention to the volume - in 1.5 liters you can cook 3-4 servings of porridge, since water must be poured below the whistle!
Elenka
Thanks for the advice!
We don't need more for every day. If we cook rice milk, then in MV, and porridge from different flakes, semolina only in a regular saucepan.
Well, when I buy, then I have questions for you immediately.
I have not memorized all the technology with the whistle signal yet.

Come in - we'll talk!
Elenka
Good porridge! You will not say anything!
Elenka
Admin, I have a purely technical question for you.
How much water will interfere between the walls of the milk cooker? Doesn't she have time to boil all over in 30 minutes of work?
It worries me very much and have you ever had this? What then?
Admin

Elenka, I pour about 400 ml of water (filtered) into my 1.5 liter saucepan, this is enough for cooking.
Do not add more water as it expands and may flow out through the whistle.
After cooking, I drain the water, since the pan needs to be washed

By the amount of drained water, I can judge that it will boil and cook for about an hour.
I also concluded that water can be added, if anything (through a watering can).

But I haven't used the pan for so long, that's enough for me.
True, I want to try barley and whole oatmeal in it and note the cooking time
Omela
Well .. There was no sadness, a woman bought ... a milk cooker !! 2 liter from Bergner. I bought it here:

http: // ***

For some reason, she is not on the site, but when she called on the phone and said that she needed a large one, they offered her. I sit here - I look at her and gather my thoughts. I just can't make up my mind to try it. One hope for you, Admin! We'll have to torment you.

It appears like this:
1. Pour water until the whistle blows. Putting on the whistle.
2. I pour milk until the whistle too. Or a little lower, because when the croup is poured, the level will rise? Or is it not important?
3. I put on fire, waiting for the whistle.
4. It whistled. I take off the whistle. I turn down the fire. How much? I have an electric stove. For a deuce? Should it boil anyway?
5. I fall asleep cereals, mix.
6. I'm waiting. How many? How do you know that everything is ready? Try?
7. When ready, put the butter and wait again.

Uffffff. All.

Thanks for the answer! I'll be calm now!

Wait a little - the answer went to write you point by point
Admin

First of all, measure the amount of water that is placed in the pan's tank through the whistle.

1. To do this, pour clean water into the hole of the pan, pour it into a measuring cup and thus calculate the amount of water to be contained.
Remember this number. But when pouring water for cooking - pour 150 ml less, because water expands when heated, and will trample out of the pan through a whistle - you will collect.
I use filtered water, I'm afraid of scale inside the pan.

2. Put on the whistle.
3. Pour milk as much as needed by the number of servings. We close the lid.
Put it on the stove, on a strong fire, let the whistle sound. This is an indicator that both the water and milk in the pan have warmed up. It will take a little time for this.

3. Remove the pan lid, add salt, sugar, cereals. Stir until smooth.
We close the lid, wait for the temperature of the water and porridge to equalize (over high heat) and the whistle will give a signal. It will be fast in time.
We turn down the heat to the smallest so that the whistle dies. But it will still squeal quietly, this is an indicator that the water is gradually boiling and thereby maintains the temperature of the water and porridge at the level.

4. Let the porridge cook calmly - do not touch or stir the porridge.
Will not burn and will not run away - checked !!!

5. You can open the cover.
You can add food (if liquid)
You can add water and milk (if cool)
Only in this situation, increase the heat again briefly to compare the temperature until a mechanism called the Whistle whistles. Then reduce heat to low.
If you do not increase the fire for a short time on your own-forcibly, it will take more time to warm up and cook.

If there is a desire to taste the readiness of the porridge, I take it from the edges of the saucepan, without stirring.
If everything is fine, add pieces of butter on top - let it saturate the porridge - it will be tastier. By time - decide for yourself, you can put butter and a plate.

Try it, I wrote longer. Porridge cooks quickly!
And write letters with questions and reports on the work done and preferably with pictures !!!
Elenka
What a good instruction!
Hopefully "on the whistle" my mother will teach her to cook porridge. And then everything is cooked on a "fire", everything boils, rages, burns - this is to make it faster.
Omela
Admin, so that we are without you !!!!! Thank you very much!! I will inform you about the results!

Elenka69 my mom has already refused. I, he says, are better the old-fashioned way: to "boil-boil-burn". She at one time did not want to take an electric kettle - in a ladle, she says, it is more convenient! I had to forcibly attach to civilization!
Elenka
Admin, I bought this pan. then insert the photo. not without incident passed the tests!
She poured water below the whistle, but still began to "spit", catching water to ladles. : D The volume of water will be determined empirically. I forgot to write that I "boiled" milk for yogurt. It turns out to be not boiling! I measured the temperature of milk - almost 98 degrees! The milk turns out to be simply languishing. My bath water has already boiled away.
Tell me how much milk you need to keep so that it seems to be already boiled and safe?

And experience, son of difficult mistakes ...

Elenka, congratulations on your purchase

So, I had no idea that such questions would arise, I drove it for a long time, at the first pan I stood with a thermometer and until the water boiled away

Milk pasteurized at 98 * C. It turns out that this is "live" milk.
You also buy pasteurized milk in packets with a short lead time. It should be normal for yogurt, it should be heated to 40 * C. I made fresh milk from under a cow for cheese and yogurt. But there was a checked domestic cow.
And all microbial and gastric sticks die already at 50-70 * C heating.
Hold the milk for 10-15 minutes after the whistle, it will be enough

I'm alive, pets too, stomachs ok

Elenka
Thank you, Admin! I have store milk - it means drain milk, I must bring it to a boil. But you never know what ...
Now I know. And then my milk almost became baked, the shade is slightly creamy and boiled away by 1cm, while I slowly reworked all the things in the kitchen. I laughed at myself!
Omela
And I did not catch water with anything - I stared blankly at it and waited for this disgrace to end. The stove is electric, while it cools down ... I will turn it down to a minimum, the whistle does not whistle (although there is steam), I will add - it whistles loudly. So I galloped around the saucepan all the way! ... I haven't guessed yet with proportions. The porridge turned out like water. It would be necessary to add cereals, so by that time all the water had boiled away. In short, the first pancake is lumpy.

I had instructions in my saucepan. Pour 500 ml of water inside. After the start of whistling, keep the milk while whistling the saucepan for 15-20 minutes. The tests were less successful. The whistle spat a little - I still poured more water. By the way, the instructions say that the glass cover with a hole is specially designed and tested so that no foam forms.
Now I'm going to test porridge.
nut
As soon as the whistle whistles, I turn down the heat to medium and hold it for 20-25 minutes with the lid closed (according to the instructions), and if I forget to count the time, I look, as soon as a slightly yellow foam appears, I turn it off immediately, and immediately put an empty glass on in case it starts spitting

Well, I did not think that such difficulties could arise when mastering the pan.
She described in detail how to work with her

The proportions for the porridge are the same as in the usual mode on the stove, and you can add cereals ...

We bought a saucepan - there is no going back! we will master!
The porridges in it are still delicious !!!

Girls, I'm also in complete bewilderment, because it couldn't be easier, I filled in 3 tbsp. water through a whistle and do what you like in it and Admin has described everything in detail

Not everything turned out to be so simple. Our pans are different. I asked Admin about the water yesterday and, with a clear conscience, poured 300ml - it turned out to be a lot.

This is my saucepan. The quality is so-so (like everything with Bergner), but for training it will do.

Regarding water, Admin wrote this for everyone.

Elenka, why don't you like the pan? Quite even pretty

For milk, see here https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=70827.0
Elenka
The saucepan is made of thin steel and has a burr that whistles. Until you unscrew the whistle, you will burn such a little hands. not comfortable with a hand.
But in general, everything is fine. Small! I thought that 1.5 liters and a little more will fit. but no - to the eyeballs!
Omela
And I have the same saucepan!)) Volume, though 2L is quite satisfied. But with quality ...;) The whistle does not fit snugly and water leaks when boiling.
Elenka
Omela, the water leaks because it was poured a lot. I poured 170 ml this morning - just right. She cooked milk buckwheat porridge on flakes. I liked the porridge very much - it was fluffy, airy and quickly cooked.
I realized the saucepan is cooking, but it hides it very carefully.
Jelly-le noticeable movement inside. I thought MV is slowly languishing, no, the process is more interesting here.
I slightly unscrewed the whistle on the thread so that it could barely whistle and everything.

Hurrah!!!!! Moved - let's go !!!!

Elenka, share, how does the porridge taste? Did you like it?
Here, I really like the consistency of the porridge - it's really airy inside, you can't convey it in the photo
Elenka
Admin, the taste of porridge is really different, more aromatic, fluffy. In truth, I only tried it, but it was enough for me to catch the difference, I cooked it for children for breakfast.
Is it true that semolina can only be mixed once and that's it?

I bought this semolina especially for this saucepan! Nordic! It is completely different in appearance and contains 12g of protein. In fact, I do not like this porridge, it is considered the least useful. My son only after 1 year began to cook and then only 1-2 times a week.
I'll tell you a secret, I can't stand her myself (I was overfed to her as a child).
Tomorrow I will cook semolina. Here ...
I love the technique that works for me without me, Oddly enough, but the milk cooker is the same case.
Admin

Elenka, semolina also does not need to be interfered. Only once when the cereal is poured into milk. Here it is advisable to guess the amount of cereal, and if it is not enough, add more. And then don't touch it at all. At the end also put the oil drain. from above.
Delicious porridge turns out
