    Have you ever tried it? My stove and microwave are
    both broken and I need something to heat the milk for my cereal in the morning.

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

    Try it and see what happens.
    You might be picking bits of kettle out of your face for the next few months though!

    I'm seeing an Animaniacs-style "Good Idea, Bad Idea" clip on You-Tube in your future...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,593 ✭✭✭Sea Sharp


    Here's a better suggestion:
    Try it with petrol.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,918 ✭✭✭✭orourkeda


    Milk should be served cold.

    If you start warming milk you may as well start drinking warm beer too.

    Put a cup of milk into a pot of boiling water like they do with baby bottles, that way your kettle isn't wrecked


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,228 ✭✭✭epgc3fyqirnbsx


    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...

    for the love of god don't do it.

    The milk will boil alright, then stick to the kettle so you'll have to clean the entire fucking thing.
    Or get used to the smell and taste of burnt milk every time you use it.


    Your call.

    Milk should have black bits in it.

    I heard somewhere that if you yell for 2 years it generates enough heat for a cup of water.
    I assume the same would work for milk. :)
    Try it let us know how you get on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,213 ✭✭✭SoWatchaWant


    What kind of monster heats up milk?:confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,515 ✭✭✭✭admiralofthefleet


    serious reply:

    the elements in the kettle would probably burn the milk and give it that burned porridge taste

    your not actually supposed to boil milk, you bring it to under the boil or else you alter the taste and a skin will form on top. your kettle wont explode, it will just be very hard to clean. but a new kettle can be got for 5euro these days so if you really need it fire ahead


    you could also use a large candle or if you have a fireplace you could heat the saucepan over it with a small fire



    this reminds me of when I made my first cup of coffee(around age 8), I didnt use the kettle I just used the hot water tap!
