Q: What is the best temperature for frothing milk?
A: The ideal frothing range is shown in yellow on the dial, between 60–65°C. Once the needle enters the red zone (65–75°C), the milk is starting to overheat and may lose its sweetness. Stop steaming just as it reaches the top of the yellow range for the best results.
Q: Can I use this thermometer with non-dairy milk?
A: Yes, it works well with all types of milk and milk alternatives. Most plant-based milks should be frothed to a slightly lower temperature than dairy milk — usually between 55–60°C — as they can scald more easily. Dairy milk is best frothed to around 60–65°C.
Q: Does it come pre-calibrated?
A: Yes, the thermometer is pre-calibrated and includes a free calibration spanner for easy adjustments when needed.
Q: How do I clean the thermometer?
A: Wipe the probe clean with a damp cloth after each use. Avoid immersing the dial in water to protect the internal mechanism.
Q: Can I use it for other liquids besides milk?
A: Yes, it can be used to measure the temperature of other hot or cold liquids such as water, sauces, or syrups.
Q: Can I use a clip to hold it on the jug?
A: Yes, a compatible Stainless Steel Probe Clip for Dial Thermometers is available separately for secure, hands-free use.
