The properties of fresh and boiled milk are different. The first is valued for its natural taste and the presence of all enzymes in its natural form. But manufacturers offer consumers exclusively processed milk.

Such a product is stored longer in appropriate conditions. Is this the sole purpose of sellers? Or raw milk should be exposed to temperatures and for other reasons?

Preferring milk from a cow, consumers do not trust store-bought. Many assume that special preservatives are added to it. Thanks to them, the product allegedly loses everything beneficial features becomes "lifeless". But are all the "live" microorganisms in raw milk so useful?

During milking, the rules of hygiene of the udder, teats and hands of the farm worker may not be observed.
After the process was completed, the product was stored incorrectly, allowing bacteria to multiply.
cow health. Many infectious diseases of cows are transmitted to humans through milk. It is unlikely that anyone wants to contract tuberculosis or pick up the leukemia virus.
Even a proven cow and her mistress should be in doubt. Many diseases develop in an animal without visible symptoms. Therefore, the owner of cattle may not be aware of their presence.

Therefore, experts advise making boiling mandatory for milk from under a cow. The procedure allows to increase the shelf life of the product. At room temperature, raw milk will last for a day, in the refrigerator - three. When heated, bacteria in milk die and there is no rapid sourness. Immediately after this, the product is recommended to be cooled.

How to heat up?

It's not about boiling. shop product, it is already undergoing the necessary processing, you just need to monitor the expiration date. This is how you need to boil milk from under a cow so that it does not lose vitamins and nutrients:

boil immediately upon returning home from the market;
at a temperature of one hundred degrees, it is enough to heat the product for two minutes;
at sixty degrees or more, the time increases to ten minutes.

When the liquid heats up and foam begins to rise, you need to reduce the fire. You should not let the milk "run away" and burn. To obtain a thicker mass, the procedure is continued for half an hour.

Do not heat milk many times. So all useful microelements will disappear from it.

There are a few more points that are taken into account when boiling:

milk should be boiled in a glass, aluminum and steel saucepan, it is better not to take an enameled one;
You can check the liquid for freshness by pouring a glass of water into the pan. As soon as it boils, add a glass of milk. If it curled up, then you are dealing with a stale product. For use in pure form it doesn't fit. But if the milk has not curdled, then you can pour the rest. A glass of water will evaporate from it;
a saucer placed on the bottom of the container upside down will prevent the milk from bubbling and pouring over the edges;
heat the milk over low heat and stir occasionally. This way it will heat up evenly. It is advised to remove the film before boiling, but not after, because useful substances accumulate in it.

Whether or not to boil milk from under a cow is up to the consumer. How much it was kept and when it was obtained, the answer is ambiguous. A drink from a neighbor's cow is probably healthier and tastier. But the prospect of poisoning with a low-quality product and infection with infections is much more serious.

Control weighing helps to reliably confirm hypogalactia. This technique involves weighing the baby before and after each feeding during the day. Determine how much milk the baby sucked from the breast for each feeding, then add up these data and get the daily amount of food. The result obtained is compared with the expected one. Mixtures will also be needed in cases where the mother’s milk is not enough. If the mother, due to circumstances, is forced to leave the child under the supervision of someone, and expressed or frozen milk is not enough, the baby is also offered a mixture.

We didn't drink milk. And then for some reason they suddenly sat down on the boobs tighter, I’m already toiling all over, my sister says: boil milk and slip it before going to bed instead of the boobs.

So damn, mine doesn't want milk.

Again, all this time I sit and think: why boil it at all? We do not process sour cream, we do not process kefir, all milk is diluted from dry milk - what can be so terrible in it? Well, the current is that the boiled taste is different, maybe someone likes it more.

:) Well you give the store, and not buy from the farm? store-bought in the states all pasteurized. boiling after pasteurization is like shooting Hiroshima with a slingshot after the atomic bomb was detonated there ..

and fresh milk, unprocessed, must be boiled from the farm. in fresh milk a lot of creatures dangerous for small things live.

I boiled for the first time. and he was the last. I just talked to my mother-in-law just before that - and she powdered my brains about this boiling, I took it and boiled it without hesitation :)
don't listen too much to what your parents tell you, rather listen, but keep in mind that times have changed and their experience is already in best case irrelevant. the most normal approach is to read at least one book (for example, at least from the "what to expect .." series, about toddlers), listen to your parents, if in doubt, ask a pediatrician. for example, I came across frankly harmful parental tips (this includes heating the apartment at 30 C in the first days after being discharged from the hospital, and at the same time wrapping the baby in 2 layers of clothes and a fleece envelope, and sucking on the nipple herself before giving the baby, and juice- teas from 3 months..)

The question is how to sterilize children's dishes (bottles, papillae, etc.) so as not to buy special sterilizers. Which bottles can be sterilized in what way? Plastic cannot be processed with boiling water, or can it? I heard about some bottles self-sterilizing in the microwave ... And in general, which bottles are better to buy for newborns - plastic or glass?

Discussion

We had Avent, everything is sterilized by simple boiling.

I saw a microwave sterilizer - an ordinary plastic container, it's even stupid to spend money. I will just pour water into a rough bowl, put bottles in there, and microwave for 5 minutes so that everything is just steamed there. And who has a dishwasher is not a question at all.

Nowadays, it is difficult to meet a hostess who boils clothes and does not use a washing machine. However, earlier all people were engaged in boiling laundry. It was a kind of washing, which helped to get rid of difficult stains, as well as to give freshness to the linen.
It should be understood that only natural things can be boiled, because synthetic ones simply will not withstand such a test.
Let's try to figure out why boil laundry, how to do it right, and also look at a number of other features of this process.

Boiling laundry - a necessary inventory

It should be understood that for boiling laundry at home, special equipment is useful.

Let's consider it in more detail:

Enameled pot or bucket. It is important to understand that even a pot, even a bucket, must have a tight lid. Such containers should be good quality and be free from defects (such as rust).
Wooden tongs. Wooden tongs are needed to get the laundry out of the container in which it is boiled. The tongs should be long enough to be easy to reach. If there are none, then you can use a wooden stick or a wooden kitchen spatula.

Make sure all inventory is clean. To do this, before use, they should be washed well with detergent, and then rinsed with clean water.

If, when boiling, there is rust or greasy spots on the pan, they will definitely fall on the fabric and be absorbed into it. Getting them out after that is almost impossible.

Detergents for boiling

Everyone understands that simply boiling in hot water will not give a positive effect. Therefore, various agents should be added to this water.

There are many options, let's look at them:

Fill a saucepan (or other container with water). It is very important to know how many liters were poured. To do this, you can either measure the amount of water pouring, or you should know the volume of the pan.
Add 20 grams of homemade soap grated on a fine grater to the water, for each liter of water.
We also add a tablespoon of soda for every liter of water.
We heat and stir the resulting substance until it becomes homogeneous.

Ammonia with hydrogen peroxide. This tool will achieve the whiteness of things.

Consider the preparation process:

The container in which the laundry will boil is filled 2/3 with warm and clean water.
Add a few tablespoons of regular laundry detergent. This will achieve a better effect, but at the same time the laundry will not smell like washing powder.
Add one tablespoon of ammonia to 5 liters of water.
Peroxide is added in the same proportion.

With such washing, it is very important that the pan is closed with a lid, and a window or door is open in the room. Boiling will produce an unpleasant and harmful odor for the body, which can lead to headaches or dizziness.

Potassium permanganate and laundry soap. This tool is perfect for boiling white things and giving them grooming.

Consider the boiling process:

Fill the container with warm and clean water.
Add laundry soap, grated on a fine grater, at the rate of 20 grams per liter of water.
We add just a few crystals of potassium permanganate.
We put linen on the bottom and boil for no more than 30 minutes.
When drying such laundry, it is best to hang it where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.

The use of chlorine. Use chlorine when boiling laundry should be very careful. Many people have severe allergic reactions to this remedy, so they should avoid it. If it was decided to boil with chlorine, then 35 - 40 grams of the product should be added per liter of water. But it should be understood that in addition to the ability to remove fabric, chlorine spoils it. Therefore, several such washes and the thing may lose its appearance.

Stories from our readers!
"This cleaner was given by my sister when she found out that I was going to clean the brazier and the wrought-iron gazebo in the country. I was delighted! I did not expect such an effect. I ordered the same for myself.

At home I cleaned the oven, microwave, refrigerator, ceramic tiles. The tool allows you to get rid of even wine stains on carpets and upholstered furniture. I advise."

How to boil laundry - a description of the process

Boiling laundry is a fairly simple procedure.

Let's take a look at the whole process in detail:

Pour a little more than half of the water into the prepared container. Do not take hot, it is best to use water room temperature. It should also be understood that this water must be clean, otherwise all the sediment will not be linen.
Add the selected agent in the required proportions.

Turn on the stove and wait for the water to heat up. At this point, you can stir the substance, especially if the recipe contains laundry soap. It should dissolve, betraying the water a light brown tint.
You can put an unnecessary white rag on the bottom of the pan. It will collect all the deposits, and also protect it from burning.
We put things. Things must be straightened and completely immersed in water, for uniform boiling. However, do not ram them, it is better to boil all the laundry in several approaches. Things are best laid at a water temperature of 30 - 50 degrees. It is possible and when it is already boiling, but it is safer.
Boil laundry over low heat, stirring occasionally. It is important to constantly ensure that things are completely immersed in water, and also do not burn.
Boiling time may vary depending on the fabric. If the fabric is dense, then it can be boiled for 1.5-2 hours, if it is thin and tender, then no more than 30 minutes.
Immediately after boiling, do not take out the laundry, you should let it cool down a bit. This is a kind of safety technique.
When the water has cooled down, take out the laundry and rinse it well. This can be done both by hand and with the help of a washing machine.

It should be understood that it is necessary to boil the laundry carefully, because throughout the whole time you have to work with boiling water.

When and why should you boil laundry?

Most often, boiling laundry is advised for very young children. Even despite the fact that there are a huge variety of different powders, doctors strongly recommend boiling for at least the first few months of a baby's life.

Also, people who are severely allergic to powders often resort to boiling laundry. In this case, after washing with powder, they start coughing, irritations and rashes on the body and other unpleasant symptoms.

Boiling laundry is not capable of causing allergic reactions and all kinds of irritations, since this method is completely natural.

Boiling white laundry is complex process, therefore, you should know a number of basic rules so that white things become snow-white clean, and the stains on them are completely washed off:

Use only enameled or stainless steel containers. Otherwise, white laundry may develop a dark metal tone or rust. If such broadcasts can remain invisible on color broadcasts, this will not work with white people. after use, you can find out here.
We follow to take a large container, but do not put a lot of laundry in it (as in a washing machine). It has always been customary not to take more than 1 kilogram of laundry per 10 liters of water.
If things are very dirty, then they can be soaked in a similar cold solution for several hours before boiling. In this case, the spots will begin to move away even before the procedure begins. If you still decide to wash in a typewriter, you can use them, with their help stains are better removed.
When boiling, be sure to stir the laundry regularly. Only in this case it will have a uniform white color over the entire area. For this, wooden tongs are used.
If the thing was soaked in a similar solution before boiling, then 30-40 minutes of boiling is enough. Otherwise, it is best to boil white laundry for 1.5 - 2 hours.
Only cotton and linen fabrics can be boiled. If there are other additives in the fabric, then when boiled, this can cause a yellow tint on white.
Very thin and delicate things should not be boiled (for example, from bathis). This can lose its structure and become unusable. If you decide, the methods can be found here.

Children get dirty more often than others, which means there is a lot of washing.

On the other hand, children often have allergic reactions and irritations (such as rashes) to various washing powders. That is why it is best to boil baby clothes.

Let's figure out how to do it right:

Prepare a container and fill it with water.
For children's things, it is best to use a solution of soap and soda. At the same time, instead of laundry soap, you should rub it specially, for children. Leave the proportions as in the standard solution described above.
Boil laundry for no more than an hour, preferably 30 minutes.
After boiling, let cool, then remove and rinse.

Thus, in just half an hour you can get clean and fresh laundry, and you can also not be afraid that it will cause allergies or other side effect and child.

Consider the series useful tips, which will help you figure out how to properly boil laundry:

In one solution, laundry should be boiled only once.
When washing, you can add a few tablespoons of washing powder if you cannot achieve the desired effect.
Do not boil things of several colors at the same time.
It is best to soak things before boiling, at least in ordinary water.
Before each new boiling, you should inspect the container and wash it well with detergents, then rinse.
Never take out laundry immediately after switching off the stove. In this case, you can easily get a serious burn. Also, do not remove the container from the fire until the water has cooled.

Summing up, I would like to say that boiling laundry is a procedure that has existed for a very long time, exists now and will exist for many more years. Boiling clothes is not so difficult if you follow all the rules and regulations.

Boiling returns the linen to its original whiteness and freshness.

With the advent of automatic machines and bleaching gels, washing has become utterly simple: now you just need to sort the laundry by color and throw it into the tank. Many hours of manipulations with boiling have gone into oblivion along with bulky enamel pots and long wooden tongs from the bowels of the parent pantries.

However, towels, pillowcases and sheets still get dirty as before, and white linen loses its freshness over time - machine washing does not guarantee a perfect result. It is here that they are undeservedly remembered forgotten recipes used by our mothers and grandmothers.

Why boil things?

Boiling laundry returns the fabric to its original whiteness, removes deeply ingrained stains, refreshes the “grayed” color of the product and disinfects it.

The procedure will help to put in order:

kitchen towels;

children's underwear, undershirts and shirts;

bedding;

any light-colored cotton or linen.

Boiling laundry at home: preparation and inventory

Read labels carefully before boiling.

Before the procedure, read the rules - they must be taken into account so as not to accidentally spoil the textiles.

You can only boil natural fabrics: 100% linen or cotton.

White and colored items are boiled separately.

For colored products, a bleach-free solution is used.

It is better to boil clean laundry, but if there is no time for washing, you can do without it.

Sort the textiles into groups - white, blue / blue, red / pink, etc. - and prepare the necessary inventory. You will need:

Cooking - large saucepan with a capacity of 10 liters. Before using, inspect it: inside there should be no chips, traces of rust and old dirt. If there is no pot, an enameled bucket or basin will do.

Wooden tongs, a spoon with a long handle or any oblong wooden object that will be convenient to mix the laundry in the process (rolling pin, potato pusher, stick, etc.).

Detergent.

As the latter, you can take ordinary powder or liquid bleach, but it is better to make a mixture of several components - the effect on the fabric will be more intense.

Recipes for boiling white laundry (for 10 liters of water)

Universal recipes for fabric of any color

Can colored laundry be boiled? Yes, if you refuse bleaching agents - peroxide, bleach, whiteness - colorful fabric does not shed.

For more effective stain removal, pre-soak the fabric in a warm solution for half an hour.

Grind laundry soap, then add soda and water to it.

Grind 40 g of laundry soap on a grater, add 3-4 tablespoons of soda (calcined or food).

250 g salt + 250 g soda. This mixture is only suitable for handling clean, pre-washed linen. If there is no time for washing, add half a glass of washing powder marked “color” to the mixture.

How to boil laundry at home: white and colored

Take a full pot of water and put on fire. Add detergent, stir with a wooden object to dissolve, and immerse the laundry.

The amount depends on the volume of the dishes, the density of the material, and is usually pretended to be “by eye”: water should completely cover things, while they should lie freely so that they can be easily mixed. A 10 liter pan will usually hold a small set of bedding or 2-3 thin sheets.

The fire should be weak - as soon as the water boils, reduce it to a minimum.

How long should you boil laundry? Boiling time depends on the product used, the texture of the material and the degree of contamination: from 15-20 minutes to 2 hours.

If you use strong bleaches with chlorine or peroxide, half an hour is enough, if you use organic products (salt, soap, soda), then the time can be doubled.

For colored textiles, it is better to reduce the procedure to 30 minutes.

In the process of boiling, regularly stir things with a large wooden spoon or special tongs - so they will bleach evenly.

After the specified time, you can turn off the fire. Do not try to grab hot laundry with the help of improvised means - you risk getting burned - it is better to wait until it cools down along with the water. Transfer things from the pan to the tub of the washing machine and rinse 1-2 times.

Boiling children's things

Children's underwear should be boiled with the addition of baby soap separately from other things.

The product for processing children's things should be safe and hypoallergenic: mothers use a soap and soda mixture (see the recipe above) or.

Wash and wring the vests and pillowcases by hand or in the machine.

Dilute the detergent in the right proportion in an enameled container with water, immerse the baby clothes in it and put it on the stove to warm up.

Once the contents of the pot come to a boil, reduce the heat.

Boil for 10-15 minutes: this is enough for the antibacterial treatment of the fabric. If whitening is required, the time can be slightly increased - up to 30-40 minutes.

When the water in the pan has cooled, remove the items, wring out and rinse several times in clean water (you can use the machine).

How to bleach clothes by boiling with laundry soap and soda? Video instruction:

AT Soviet times boiling was the only available means of disinfection - and shirts with diapers of newborns were washed only with boiling. Should it be done today?

No, this is not necessary, because. mass appeared alternative options: machine wash at 90°C, hot steam ironing, washing powders with antibacterial ingredients, soaps with antimicrobial activity, household germicidal lamps, etc.

However boiling may be necessary in the following cases:

to remove traces of stains from clothes (food, regurgitation, bowel movements);

enhanced disinfection during or after illness (ARVI, acute respiratory infections, intestinal infections and other diseases of viral and bacterial etiology);

in case of allergic reactions, when only natural remedies can be used - in this case, a soap-soda solution with boiling will be the best way to treat baby clothes.

Mothers and grandmothers are still arguing about the need for the procedure - someone manages in everyday life in other ways, and someone heats each batch of baby clothes - and everyone has their own arguments. However, from time to time the need for boiling still arises, and therefore any housewife should know its rules and algorithm of actions.

How to boil white laundry at home? Video instruction:

Everyone loves to buy white things. But not everyone knows how to boil laundry. But this process is simply necessary when the hostess compares the new thing with the old one and realizes that it has lost its original freshness and whiteness. These are the consequences of constant washing in the washing machine, which turns the laundry into incomprehensible gray rags, no matter how much washing powder you sprinkle. To keep linen clean for a long time, you need to know the secrets of past generations.

Boiling white textiles is the oldest and most effective way to disinfect and bleach them. Once upon a time, all bedding and linen were made from natural materials. The only obstacle to the digestion of linen at home was its color. Now fabrics are different, so it is necessary to take into account their features. For example, synthetics are generally not intended for washing, not only with boiling water, but even hot water. But linen and cotton easily acquire a snow-white hue if they are boiled. For this reason, before you start washing, you need to look at the product label.

Basic Rules

Housewives have been developing rules for bleaching fabric products for a long time.

You need to take a pot with a volume of 10 liters.
Mix water with the selected product, and then lower the textiles into the solution. In order for laundry soap to dissolve faster, it must be rubbed on a grater.
If the linen is clean, then it should be boiled so that it does not lose its whiteness and is disinfected at the same time.
If the laundry is dirty, then it can be pre-soaked in exactly the same solution with soap in which boiling will be carried out.
When the water in the pan with things boils, the fire must be reduced so that the foam does not fall out of the dishes.
It is not recommended to throw dirty laundry into boiling water to avoid brewing dirt, which is then not washed off.
During the entire bleaching process, things should be stirred so that they boil evenly.
If, after boiling, dry the textiles on the sunny side of the street, it will acquire an unusual freshness.

Here are some simple rules on how to properly boil clothes that will help any housewife make her things extraordinarily clean, give them snowy whiteness and icy freshness.

Recipes for boiling laundry solutions

If you failed to bleach things in the usual soapy water, that is, several alternative methods of washing clothes.

It is necessary to take 25 grams of soda and the same amount of salt per 1 liter of water. The boiling time of the product does not differ from conventional way and is 2 hours. After such an event, things should simply be rinsed in warm water.
You can also add ammonia (2 tablespoons) and hydrogen peroxide (2 tablespoons) to this solution. It takes no more than 50 minutes to bleach textiles with this tool.
Such a remedy can whiten things at home: mix half a liter of bleach and 500 grams of salt in 10 liters of water. Chlorine can be replaced with bleach.

Young mothers do not consider it necessary to bleach diapers, but doctors recommend using digestion for babies' things. This is especially true in the first weeks of a baby's life, when the umbilical wound heals, which is a vulnerable place for various infections. To whiten baby clothes, you need to use only baby soap, and reduce the boiling process to half an hour. Rinse such things should be more thoroughly.

Washing white clothes has always been very difficult. The boiling method in this case is the most effective, but requires certain skills and knowledge.

Traditionally, linen is boiled in a special saucepan, which is popularly called "boiling". It must be enameled or stainless steel. Aluminum or zinc is not suitable for this process due to the property of these materials to oxidize when heated, which entails the formation of a reddish hue of rust on things.

The dish should be large enough to hold as many things as you need to wash. It is necessary to count on such a ratio of water and linen: 10 liters per 1 kilogram.
Detergents must be mixed with water before you load textiles into it. Items cannot be loaded into hot water. All the time you should stir the laundry in the pan with special wooden tongs.
If you pre-soaked things, then forty minutes will be enough for bleaching, if not, then boil them for up to two hours. In the case of using powder instead of laundry soap, the digestion process takes less time. You can take out the laundry only after the solution has completely cooled down.
Products made of cotton or linen are suitable for digestion, while synthetics will acquire a yellowish tint. Batiste things in general can be damaged due to interaction with hot water.
After you take out the laundry, it should be thoroughly rinsed in several waters to remove completely. detergents. It is recommended to dry it fresh air which will give things a pleasant aroma.

Now you know everything about boiling laundry. It remains to put it into practice - and the title best hostess you are provided. Because white tablecloths and sheets are always the envy of negligent housewives who do not know about ways to make things snow-white at home.
