Milk boils and falls out but not water, know why this happens

Milk vs Water Boiling: It must have happened to you many times that when you put milk on the gas to heat it, the milk would boil and immediately fall down from the vessel, and you would not even realize it, even though you forget to put water on the gas. It might go, but the water would never fall out of the vessel. You might have been scolded when milk spilled, where was your attention when the milk spilled and you too might have felt that you were standing right here, then how did the milk spill.

Actually this happens due to scientific reasons. Hardly have you ever thought about why this happens and what is the science behind it? Today we will tell you the real science behind this, why this happens and why if you lose even a little attention while boiling milk, the milk falls out of the vessel and the water does not fall out even after boiling for a long time.

Why does milk curdle when boiled?

When you put milk on the gas to boil, when the milk starts getting hot, it starts rising upwards and falling out of the vessel. Actually this happens because milk contains fat, protein, carbohydrates and many types of minerals. The highest amount of fat and protein is found in milk. Milk contains 87% water, 4% protein and 5% lactose. As milk contains the highest amount of water, when it is heated, the milk starts turning into steam due to which elements like fat, protein, carbohydrates, vitamins etc. become condensed and form a layer on the top. and prevent the water from coming out, due to which the milk falls out.

Why does water not fall when it boils?

As mentioned above, apart from water, protein, carbohydrate and fat are present in milk, hence when milk is boiled, after boiling all these elements form a layer in the milk, due to which the water present in the milk evaporates. When steam tries to come out, that layer creates pressure and the milk falls out of the vessel. If we talk about water, there is nothing like this in water, hence when water is heated, it continues to boil even after being heated and water gets enough space to come out in the form of steam, which is Because of this the water does not fall out of the vessel.

Now while boiling milk, focus your entire attention on the milk itself so that the milk does not boil and spill and the milk is also saved from getting wasted.
