The melted milk is a native Russian product. Traditional melted milk is cooked only in a Russian oven - it is there that the ideal conditions for obtaining this drink are created. However, in the modern world, it is impossible to find a real Russian oven in the city. But this does not mean that you can not cook and taste melted milk. In the changing historical conditions, recipes for making melted milk have also changed. In this article, we will tell you how to make melted milk at home.
Today we will consider how to make melted milk the two most common ways. This is cooking in the oven and in the multivark.
How to make melted milk in the oven?
It is necessary to drain all milk (about 3 liters) into one pan and bring to a boil over a small fire. The milk film obtained after boiling is removed, and hot milk is poured over clay pots.
Pottery is ideal for making melted milk in the oven. It allows it to evenly warm up and does not emit any harmful substances (like dishes made of plastic, for example). Standard pots for baking have a volume of 500 ml, so 3 liters of milk can easily fit in 6 pots. If you do not have as many clay pots, you can use any other oven baking container. In this case, you need to recalculate the amount of milk that you will use.
We recommend the use of clay containers, because ceramics allow milk to warm up evenly and, if temperature conditions are met, it does not allow milk to burn. Milk boils at a temperature of 100 degrees, so it is important to keep the oven at 80-90 degrees, then the milk will not run away and not burn, and your oven and dishes will remain clean.
In accordance with the recipe for baked milk, it should be in the oven for several hours. When cooking for 2-3 hours, the milk acquires a delicate cream shade and a pleasant caramel flavor. The longer the milk is heated in the oven, the more saturated its color and aroma becomes. The recipe for baked milk in the oven does not suggest leaving milk for more than 8 hours. Because after this time most of the useful substances are destroyed.

Multivar is an alternative to the oven. In the modern world, when the pace of life is growing faster, and there is no time to spend a lot of time preparing food, multivarks have become a real salvation for the housewives, as they allow you to prepare the most complex dishes and save a lot of time. Whipped milk can be cooked in a multivark, and its recipe is not at all complicated. To do this, you need to select the optimal amount of milk and choose the quenching regime. After 4-6 hours, the milk will be ready. When using a multivark, you do not have to keep an eye on the milk, so you can devote time to other things. how
There is an opinion that when milk is being milked most of the nutrients are destroyed, so baked milk is completely useless. This is true only from the part - indeed, in melted milk there is little vitamin C compared to whole milk. On the other hand, the heating process makes the milk more fat by evaporation of some moisture. Also in melted milk, the content of vitamin A, calcium and iron is higher. It is recommended by doctors for dietary nutrition in case of problems with digestion, because it is absorbed better than whole cow milk.
In addition, heating milk allows you to kill all unwanted bacteria, so you can safely give it to children. And for exactly the same reason, it lasts longer and does not get sour.
