The internet is so helpful (for cooking)

[BobG]

I have a recipe for ice cream that requires me to "scald" the milk. I type in "scald milk" into google and, sure enough, I get a list of web sites that explain how to scald/scorch milk.

From O Chef

Q: How do you scorch milk?

A: Put the milk in a pan (preferably a thin-bottomed one) over very high heat and leave the room. Come back when the smell becomes unpleasant and throw the milk and the pan away.

Okay, after that, it actually does explain what's meant by scalding/scorching milk.

Scalding means just to make the milk hot, but not to boil it. Oh, it explains.
