METALTEX GLASS MILK SAVER BOIL BOILING WATER ALERT PAN POT WATCHER

As much as you can provide a meaningful review of a glass milk saver, I think this does the job it’s supposed to 😃

Had one of these 50 years ago and it was very useful. This one bought as a present for an old friend. These are still being manufactured (in France) and the price, around £6, is very reasonable. Why would any buyer want to spend £100 on an old one (absolutely identical to any £6 new one) is beyond me! (Greedy sellers advertising for greedy prices. Caveat emptor!)

This item worked perfectly for 3 weeks, used only for boiling water in a small pan. One morning, still in the bottom of the pan, I found it had developed a fracture that nearly split it in half. Very disappointed and would not recommend this product. I think the problem is that the glass is too thin and not substantial enough, unlike the original Pyrex ones; therefore not fit for purpose. I have written to the manufacturer.

So simple, cheap and effective! Milk boils over because a skin of denatured protein forms that traps the steam beneath it and is forced up and out of the pan. The glass disc collects steam on it's underside and projects it as a focused stream of bubbles at a single point on the protein skin. This punctures the skin, letting the steam out. Furthermore, the glass rattles on the bottom of the pan so you know the milk is boiling. I remember these from my childhood, which is a long time ago. I'm very glad to have found one.

Great invention! My mum used one years ago, and I was so glad it was still on the market! Only 4 stars because the thing is so fragile! We broke ours! Bought a metal one which won't break, but isn't half as good.

Works well

Great

Worked fine for a couple of days, then cracked leaving a small sliver of glass in the liquid. Very surprised as my mother had one of these for many years and it was fine.

Funkar precis som förväntat

it does the job

Ho conosciuto questo prodotto tramite mia suocera che lo usa esclusivamente per la preparazione di un dolce dove 2 litri li latte devono bollire e dimezzare con questo meraviglioso dischetto non solo fa prima diminuire ma il latte non attacca e soprattutto non monta

Thick glass to signal when a pot is boiling. Very useful!! I didn't like the price, but this style is better than the alternative: a thin metal disk. The only time I don't use it when boiling water is when I'm using the whistling tea kettle. :-) I have ordered it again since my temporary homemakers seem to misplace it. Have since found it. Now I have 2!!!

Ideal para hervir leche y
