Baked milk is a special product that has been familiar to many since childhood. The rich taste and aroma of this drink make morning tea unforgettable, and milk porridge unmatched. In Russian cuisine there is such a thing as “baked” milk. It was cooked directly in the oven. Therefore, the dish was considered primordially peasant. Today we will analyze how baked milk differs from ordinary.
Cooking technology
To answer this question, you must first understand how it is prepared. There are a lot of recipes, but they have one principle. How is baked milk different from usual? This is a product that is obtained by heat treatment, which allows you to save and increase all the beneficial properties of milk.
The pan is heated, and closer to boiling, the fire is reduced. To get a good result you need to avoid boiling. This is the most important rule. Milk should languish at a constant temperature for 6-8 hours. During this time, the necessary reactions between amino acids occur and special compounds are formed.
Appearance
The most obvious difference between baked milk and regular milk is its color. In the process of preparation, it becomes light brown, with a pronounced creamy taste. Processing reduces the content of vitamins B1, C, D and A, but at the same time increases the amount of necessary iron, phosphorus, and calcium. Therefore, nutritionists say with confidence: what makes baked milk different from ordinary milk is that it is much more healthy. For this reason, it is recommended for children, pregnant and debilitated people.
Obvious advantages
In fact, this product simply has no analogues. And today, research continues, which shows that with proper preparation, the composition is qualitatively changing for the better. The product is rich in amino acids and protein. The benefits and harms of baked milk, unlike ordinary, are more obvious, because it is the same product, only in a concentrated form.
- Baked milk prevents the development of rickets when it comes to a growing body.
- Easy to digest.
- It works well when prescribed to allergy sufferers and diabetics.
- It has a positive effect on the heart and blood vessels.
- Many note that regular use of this drink helps relieve headache and fatigue.
Minuses
Everything in the world has two sides. This also applies to baked milk. Benefits and harm relate primarily to the health status of the one who will use it. For a healthy person, such a product does not carry any danger. Sometimes you need to be careful:
- In some cases, it can cause gastrointestinal problems in a child.
- Strictly prohibited for people allergic to lactose.
- When breastfeeding, the mother should introduce it into the diet in small portions, otherwise it can adversely affect the baby's well-being, despite the useful composition.
A contraindication to baked milk can only be a previously identified lactose allergy. In some cases, this phenomenon is temporary, and sooner or later you can again include milk in the diet. In other cases, it will have to be abandoned forever.
When breastfeeding
Often, young mothers receive recommendations to drink more milk so that the baby does not need nutrients. Let us once again dwell on the advantage of baked milk, what is it better and more useful than usual. The creation of this product occurs under the influence of high temperature. First of all, the drink becomes more concentrated, that is, the percentage of fat rises to 6-8%. Unlike regular whole milk, it has a higher content of vitamin E, which positively affects the central nervous system. Due to these properties, baked milk with HB is recommended throughout the entire period.
Baby's condition
But you need to carefully monitor the condition of your child. If he begins to have problems with digestion, then you need to immediately abandon the melon. Usually the reason for this is the high content of phosphorus and fatty acids. A product is prepared from cow's milk, which is considered a strong allergen, and after heat treatment these properties only increase. Therefore, with the slightest rashes on the skin, such milk should be immediately discarded. Next time, try to enter it in the diet no earlier than a month later.
Calorie content
The product comes out not only tasty, but also quite heavy. Therefore, drinking it while losing weight is not recommended. But it has an important property - it maintains a balance of essential substances. There are 84 kcal per 100 g of product.
Most often we buy milk in a store, but you can make it at home. The main thing is to get good whole milk.
Multicooking
Initially, it was cooked in a Russian oven. Today it can no longer be found, but in urban conditions even more so. But modern devices help to prepare it much faster and easier. Moreover, baked milk from a slow cooker has the same properties as that made in the oven or oven. Making a drink from fresh cow's milk is best.
- Pour it into the bowl of the multicooker.
- Set the Multi-Cook mode to 100 degrees.
- The optimal time is 3 hours, sometimes you have to wait 4 hours.
- It remains to bottle and put in the refrigerator.
The timing
Baked milk is stored for a long time. It will calmly stand for a week or more. But to recruit or prepare it for a longer period is not worth it, after all, the product is perishable. Every day you will have tasty and healthy milk for tea. Delicate creamy taste perfectly complements tea and coffee, suitable for cocoa. You can also add to porridge, it only makes it tastier.
