Comment on Steamed Milk w/out a Steam Wand? Yes, you can! by Surroundsound5000

I’ve been using a similar method (since I gave my espresso machine to my old man when his broke); but my method is slightly different.

I put milk into a jar (or a big cup, like a sturdy beer glass (although not one you want to use for beer(because you should never wash a glass you want to serve beer from (and you will want to wash this glass once you’ve zapped milk in it))))).

Then I zap the milk on high for a while (the timer on my microwave is broken) on high; basically I do it til the milk boils over. I haven’t had any problems zapping it for too long, and baked milk scum comes off the turntable pretty easy with a quick soak. Then grab the cup/jar with a tea towel (’cause I overcook it) and stick the the beaters in there and go nuts on it for a while. A milkshaker, blender or stick-blender also apparently work well. This makes a really thick, creamy milk foam.

I have been researching the internet to find the coffee pot my mother and grand mother used to use when making coffee with the colador. It was silver with a top to it, but I unable to find it. Would you know where I could find one. Thank you for you help.

My dad is a huge fan of Target and often when I’d go back home to visit him, they’d have something from Archer Farms. They were definitely better than expected.
