FlowTip Jug: Tips for Optimal Use and Maintenance
The FlowTip Jug is a versatile tool for coffee enthusiasts and home baristas alike. Whether you're using it on a gas or electric stovetop, or simply maintaining it for longevity, understanding the nuances of its use can enhance your coffee-making experience.
Using the FlowTip Jug on Different Stovetops
The FlowTip Jug is compatible with gas stoves, but it's important to use it on the smallest setting to avoid direct flame contact with the handle. For those using electric stoves, position the jug offset from the center to prevent the handle from being directly above the heat source. Note that highly abrasive electric stoves can scratch the outside jug's finish like any normal pans.
Unfortunately, the FlowTip Jug is not directly compatible with induction stoves. However, using an induction diffuser can solve this issue, allowing you to heat your milk effectively.
Maintaining Your FlowTip Jug
To prevent burning or scalding milk, always heat it on the lowest setting. This should take about 2 minutes to reach the ideal temperature of 55-65°C. Avoid heating a second batch of milk without cleaning the jug in between, as this can lead to burning.
After each use, rinse or soak the jug in water immediately to make cleaning easier. You can use a cleaning brush to reach stubborn milk residue.
Important Notice: Handling the Rubber Sleeve
When using the FlowTip Jug, ensure that the rubber sleeve is properly positioned. Push it down slightly at the bottom of the jug to follow its shape. This will prevent the sleeve from slipping off during use, ensuring a safer and more comfortable handling experience.
By following these tips, you can enjoy a seamless and efficient experience with your FlowTip Jug, making your coffee-making process more enjoyable and effective.
