I’ve heard it said that the boiling point of water is 100 °C, and the boiling point of milk is the moment you look away for a second.
This is why I preheat cows before I milk them.
The ol’ double-clutch latté.
Give 'em some of that heat 'n bleat
No wait, that’s for warm goat milk.
One of the many things I’ve learned from experience. The mess it can make in just a few seconds is incredible. I got laughed at by the chef I was living with x.x
The broiler in the oven is like this. Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, toasted, BURNED.
A trick you can do to give you a few seconds is put some forks out knives in an X over the top. It might help prevent it from immediately going into the fire.
There is a german saying “bewachte Milch kocht nie” (watched milk never boils)
In English, at least British English not sure about US, it’s ‘A watched kettle/pot never boils’
I have heard the ‘watched pot’ one in southeast US.
