In your yogurt recipe, you mention using a Microwave Milk Boiler - I searched for it on the internet and couldn't find a single reference to it. Can you please send me a link or let me know where I can find such a gadget?

Thanks.

Stuti, I bought mine in India. It is made by 'Cutting Edge'. It is in this picture; http://shopping.indiatimes.com/IndiatimesShopping/ctl/20376658/pc/969941/cat/970735/pid/1509058

Look to the right of the + sign in the picture. It is the middle one in second row. What it is basically is a plastic bowl with a tight fitting lid and an insert in the middle, the type you have in a rice cooker, which stops the milk from boiling over. It is widely available in India, not sure where you can find it in UK.

I have a 'milk saver' - similar to this one:

  • essential for stopping milk boiling over when heating it on the hob. A small upside down glass ash tray works equally well though!

Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately, the link is not working from me. I'm actually in the US and could order it from an online website in India if I knew what to look for :)

Hello Stuti, I tried and the link is working. Anyway, here are a couple of pictures of mine on flickr;

If the links don?t work as they are, try copying and pasting them.

If boiling in a pan, you can use ?milk watchers?; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Milchwaechter_Edelstahl.jpeg . They stop it from boiling over. I find them very useful when making 'Rabri? and Mawa/Khoa

Great information - thanks! Will make my life a lot easier :)

Appreciate your effort of posting the pictures...I love your website. It's as close to "mom's cooking" as it can get!
