Milk Frothers & Steamers FAQs
Do milk frothers work with non-dairy milk?
Yes, most milk frothers work very well with non-dairy options like almond, soy, and oat milk. However, the frothing results may vary based on the milk’s protein content.
Can I froth milk without a machine?
Absolutely! You can froth milk by hand using a whisk or even by shaking it in a jar, although these methods might not yield as creamy a texture as electric frothers do.
Is it safe to use a frother for hot beverages?
Yes, most electric frothers heat and froth the milk simultaneously, ensuring the milk reaches a perfect serving temperature safely and efficiently.
How do I prevent my milk from burning in the frother?
Avoid filling beyond the maximum level, and choose a frother that comes with temperature control settings to prevent overheating and burning the milk.
What's the difference between a milk frother and a steamer?
A milk frother primarily aerates the milk, while a steamer heats it and imparts a slight froth. Steamers are often part of espresso machines, offering consistent heat as they froth.
