How to brush off milk that has become sticky

After the milk base is mashed, it can be cleaned with baking soda, white vinegar, salt, and other methods. The protein and sugar in milk are prone to coking and adhesion at high temperatures, and a mild physical or chemical cleaning method should be selected according to the material of the cookware. Baking soda is a weakly alkaline substance that can react with coking substances. Sprinkle baking soda on the bottom of the pot, soak in a small amount of warm water, and wipe with a soft cloth after the paste softens. This method is suitable for corrosion-resistant cookware such as stainless steel and ceramics, and should be avoided for aluminum pots to prevent oxidation reactions.

2. White Vinegar

The acetic acid in white vinegar can decompose protein stains. Mix white vinegar with water in a ratio of 1:2 and boil. After turning off the heat, let it stand until it cools down. The burnt layer will naturally peel off. This method has a significant effect on enamel pots, but cast iron pots need to be immediately wiped dry and coated with oil for rust prevention after use.

3. Salt

Coarse salt particles have physical friction. Sprinkle salt on the slightly hot bottom of the pot, use a wet sponge to repeatedly wipe in circles, and use the abrasive properties of salt particles to remove burnt stains. This method is suitable for easily scratched materials such as enamel pots, and the force should be controlled during operation to avoid scratching the surface.

4. Citric acid

Citric acid has a dissolving effect on sugar coking products. Mix citric acid powder and hot water into a paste and apply it to the bottom of the paste. After letting it sit, clean it with a nylon brush. This method can effectively remove stubborn burn marks from stainless steel pots, but it needs to be thoroughly rinsed after use to avoid acid residue.

V. professional Cleaning Agent

Food grade cookware cleaning agents containing surfactants can decompose organic residues. After spraying, stand still to form foam, and wash it with clean water after the emulsification reaction is completed. Choosing a phosphate free detergent is more environmentally friendly, and it is recommended to disinfect it with boiling water after cleaning.

When cooking milk in daily life, the heat should be controlled to avoid prolonged high temperature cooking. Using non stick or thick bottomed pots can reduce the probability of sticking to the bottom. After cleaning, it is necessary to check whether there is any residual cleaning agent at the bottom of the pot, and regularly use edible oil to maintain the surface of the metal cookware. If the burnt residue is severe and difficult to remove, it is recommended to replace the cookware to avoid long-term use affecting health.
