Could you use this with milk instead of water? null

Milk has a boiling point of 213.3 F which is just 0.3 F higher than that of water. But thanks to its higher fat content, casein and globules, a thin skin forms over the milk until it reaches its boiling point and then breaks to let it overflow. The result is like a white volcano erupting from your kettle. So no - you cannot use this or any other electric kettle to boil milk.

I wouldn't use any electric kettle with milk.

It would most likely burn the milk and scorch the pot. I definitely would not use milk. It is only made to use with water. With that being said, I absolutely lone my pot for making tea. It is so quick and handy. I use it daily! Love it better then my Keurig!
