It pulled right off and swam around in my taters...no fun there! I didn't drain mine; I lifted the potatoes out with a slotted thingie. I'll get my post done in a bit with all the details.

As far as a milk smoke point, I can't really explain this to you because I've never looked it up... but one of those things "i've always known" (and why I know this I have no idea) is basically the more fat the harder it is to burn or curdle milk. Now to get the scalded milk off the pot either try covering it in tomato sauce (acid) or filling it with warm water and placing a used dryer sheet in the pot overnight. Hope that helps!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6947422983613362681.post-84164299904600727582008-11-20T09:22:00.000-05:002008-11-20T09:22:00.000-05:00Now those are some nice looking potatoes!Now those are some nice looking potatoes!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18324379926724874629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6947422983613362681.post-89363085628087041662008-11-19T22:27:00.000-05:002008-11-19T22:27:00.000-05:00Oooooooh.
