Boiling Milk In A Kettle?

Limescale + Calciumscale = Ugh.

On the plus side, you may have created instant stalactites/gmites

Unfortunately OP, with boiling milk in a kettle I think this may just be the best result you can hope for!

If you fill your immersion tank with milk you could have it piped into your kitchen which is so much more convenient.

Not so handy for washing dishes but I'm guessing thats not high on your list of priorities Mr. Kettle Abuser.

I bet you'd use your toaster to heat up your hot water bottle.

Depending on the type of milk, the boiling point will be a fraction of a degree above water. however, as has been pointed out, it will make a mess of your kettle.

If you really want to do it, put the milk in your kettle for about 45 seconds, will get your milk up to about 3/4s of actual boiling temperature.

(it would take 69 seconds to boil a pint of milk in a 3kw kettle).

Was reading a story about when electricity came to the west of ireland some years ago.
A local halfwit got himself an electric kettle,filled it up with bacon,cabbage and potatoes and pissed off down the pub for a few hours..he got back just ahead of the fire brigade.

No but somebody told me a good idea about pissing into the kettle at work if you get fired!

Did that to the milk in an old job. There was a vending machine for tea and i'd brought the milk in for myself and people kept drinkin it, despite the numerous threatening, red ross style, notes i'd attached to the fridge.

You might be picking bits of kettle out of your face for the next few months though!

I'm not much of a looker so it really wouldn't be that big of a deal.

I tried boiling vegetable oil in the kettle years ago. There was a pop followed by a burning smell then i ran like a girl.

Why not try adding a bar of dairy milk too for modified Chocolate Milk/Hot Chocolate :P Or maybe buy one of those laser pointers, shine it at the milk ... if you leave it long enough maybe that'll heat it up :rolleyes:

Seriously though ... not really such a bright idea putting milk into a kettle, just use a saucepan like already mentioned

Technically, it should work aslong as you stop the kettle BEFORE the milk boils. If you let the milk boil you'll...


you'll....

oooooh, I was at a house party one night where a fella decides to make hot ones so pours a bottle of jameson in a kettle...
About a minute in other people started to see what was happening and freaked thinking that it would blow up and they'd all be disfigured like Brian Cowen
So there's a grapple between the dude who put it on and the homeowner trying to turn it off and it ends up splashing on their arms and they got the nastiest blisters I've ever seen, it was just in spots where the drops hit them but those spots blistered out about 20mm!

So, its a ****in stupid idea. But seeing as its only milk its worth a go...

Seems to me like it was going fine until the dry balls's came alone and actually made the problem. Hmmmm

Just scrape the scum off the inside of the kettle. Put a match to it before you drop it on your frosties.

If you boil milk in a kettle you should never be let near milk again.

What is it?

Fill a kettle with water.
Insert the tip of the spout inside your anus.
Hit the 'on' switch.

As the kettle boils, the resulting steam results in a very pleasureable sensation - both physically and psychologically.

To enhance your joy, take poppers while the kettle is boiling.

Slight problem there Chillaxe, it needs to be pasteurised. Unless of course you're into that sort of thing. In that case, go right ahead:)
