Review on 🌑️ Cooper-Atkins 1236-70-1 Bi-Metals Espresso Milk Frothing Thermometer | 1" Dial | 5" Shaft Length | with Clip by Rico Dantzler

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A decent milk thermometer on a budget, just stop cooking 5-10 degrees before your desired temperature.

I bought a Cooper-Atkins Bi-Metals espresso milk thermometer for (you guessed it) frothing milk. My only concern is that the thermometer stem is too long for my steaming pot. The jug is about the size of a milk jug, so I blame the thermometer's design for having to tilt it slightly to use it. It doesn't harm the process at all. With this I can still heat milk to the right temperature. I also noticed a slight time lag in temperature registration. What you actually need to do is steam almond or coconut milk to about 130 degrees and when I look at the meter until it hits 130 and then stop, after a few moments the temp is close to 140 degrees. I've worked on this by steaming 5-10 degrees less than the temp I'm trying to reach and it seems to work pretty well. Hope this helps someone!
