Cleaning stainless steel milk pitchers is essential to maintain hygiene and prevent any residual milk or bacteria buildup. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to clean a stainless steel milk pitcher:

1. Empty the Residual Milk

After frothing or steaming milk, pour any remaining milk out of the pitcher.

2. Rinse Immediately:

Rinse the pitcher with hot water immediately after use. This helps to remove most of the milk residues and prevents them from drying and sticking to the stainless steel.

3. Use a Soft Brush or Cloth:

For more thorough cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth to scrub the interior of the pitcher. Ensure that the brush or cloth is non-abrasive to avoid scratching the stainless steel.

4. Add Warm Soapy Water:

Fill the pitcher with warm water and add a small amount of mild dish soap. Swirl the soapy water around, making sure to reach all areas, including the spout.

5. Scrub and Rinse:

Scrub the interior with a soft brush or cloth to remove any milk residues or stains. Pay attention to the corners and the spout. Rinse thoroughly with hot water.

6. Dry Completely:

After washing and rinsing, ensure that the pitcher is dried completely. Use a clean towel to wipe the interior and exterior.

7. Check and Polish:

Periodically check for any discoloration or stains. If necessary, you can use a mixture of baking soda and water to form a paste, apply it to the stains, and gently scrub. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

8. Avoid Harsh Chemicals:

Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the stainless steel surface. Stick to mild dish soap or specialized milk frother cleaning solutions.

By following these steps, you can keep your stainless steel milk pitcher clean and in good condition, ensuring that it consistently produces quality frothed or steamed milk for your coffee.

For latte art, consider using a milk pitcher in the range of 400-420 millilitres for smaller lattes or cappuccinos. This size provides sufficient space to froth the milk for creating detailed latte art patterns. If you prefer making larger lattes or multiple drinks simultaneously, a milk pitcher in the range of 600-620 millilitres can be suitable. However, keep in mind that handling a larger pitcher may require more skill to control the milk pouring for intricate designs. Choose a pitcher with a tapered spout for better pouring control and to facilitate the creation of detailed and well-defined latte art.
