Re: Boiling Milk
I think you will end up with solids on the heating element and destroy the kettle, but I've never tried so I could be wrong!

Re: Boiling Milk
The biggest risk with this is uneven heating. If the bottom the milk gets a lot hotter than the surface, then the surface tension will hold and you could end up with an explosion.

Re: Boiling Milk
Oh and another problem worth considering is that water boils at 100 degrees... it does not get hotter than this. Other liquids and water with stuff in may reach higher temperatures, as your kettle is only designed to boil water it may melt with a higher-temperature liquid in it.
Combine this with Lucio's exploding-milk theory and you get a nice molten-plastic & boiling milk bomb.... hmm this is starting to sound like brainiac.... Video it if you do it!
