Jug 1.5ltr - Red

Product Information

Depending on the product, these glassware items for the kitchen can withstand temperatures ranging from -104 to 572 degrees Fahrenheit. Pour the hot milk into the jug that contains your custard powder/sugar/milk. Give this a really good stir so it’s all mixed together (I use a fork). You can safely microwave a Pyrex bowl, which is great news for those of you who have been curious about it. Place the container into the centre of the microwave and set the timer for two minutes and the heat to the high setting - do not leave this unattended and keep a close eye on what's happening, depending on the amount of wax in the jug and the power of your microwave you may find it melts faster than 2 minutes (but don't worry if it doesn't).

Microwave the nearly half pint of milk on high power until the milk is quite warm/hot. It doesn’t need to be super hot, or boiling – it just needs to be hot. It’s best to use a lye solution diluted in water at 10%. A tiny juice glass filled with six ounces of water and two teaspoons of lye. Double-Walled Insulation: The jug features a double-walled design, which provides excellent insulation. This not only helps maintain the desired temperature of your contents but also keeps the exterior cool to the touch. It is a much more joyful experience to cook when you are aware that the glass dishes you are using are non-toxic, durable, and environmentally friendly.In a second jug mix the Birds Eye Custard Powder with the sugar and add a splash of milk from the first jug. Mix these together for a few seconds until it’s a bright orange liquid. Clean the Pyrex dish of any moisture before placing it in the microwave to warm it up. It is possible to alternately slowly heat the dish on low power for an extended period of time if it is inconvenient, difficult, or the glass is simply too cold. The handle stays cool to the touch throughout microwaving, so you can easily remove the jug without burning your fingers or having to resort to cumbersome oven gloves. Soak the Pyrex dish in a lye solution of 10% for at least an hour. Before you begin mixing, ensure that you are well-protected. Rinse the Pyrex dish by lifting it out of the plastic tub and using warm water. Cleaning can be assessed in this manner.

You should avoid using lye on anything made of wood or aluminum. This material will discolor (burn) wood and etch aluminum to a degree. A wide range of Pyrex glassware products is available in a variety of sizes and shapes to accommodate a wide range of cooking methods. Using a Pyrex glass bowl (which is made of glass) when cooking is a popular choice among some individuals. Using a product that is appropriate for your needs and following the manufacturer’s instructions exactly as they are written will result in a properly microwaved Pyrex container. It is possible to have a little explosion if you take cold Pyrex out of the freezer or refrigerator and immediately put it in the microwave afterward. ManualThe best materials for microwave use are generally thought to be glass or ceramic, which are both heat resistant. The scratches and other damage caused by over-cleaning will be visible once the stains and damage from earlier washing are removed. Cooking in glass containers that are microwave-safe is one of the most effective methods for preparing food in a microwave.

After an hour or overnight soak, thoroughly rinse to eliminate any soap residue that may have remained. All that is required is that you follow the straightforward instructions provided by the manufacturer. Perfect for cooking, reheating and steaming, our generously sized 2 Litre Stain-Proof Lidded Microwave Jug has you covered (literally!), performing microwave tasks with ease and less mess. Sodium hydroxide, or lye, is a powerful alkali that can be used in a variety of ways (or base). In excessive amounts, it can cause severe burns. Diluted (lower) levels can also cause skin irritation and burns. You've also seen instruction guides saying that you need a special wax melter or to set up a "double boiler" and yes, while these are great tools to have, if you're just using a single candle kit or want to try out making candles you don't want to spend a lot of money on tools that will potentially be thrown in the loft if you don't want to continue the craft! Here's a much simpler (cheaper) solution

Allowing ventilation while preventing any splashes or splatters from escaping, the clear lid has a flip-up cap that lets you pour out the contents from the spout without having to remove the whole lid– perfect for serving a warming bowl of soup or hot milk for your latte. When Pyrex cookware was first introduced, it was put through extensive testing for up to 1000 hours. Store the lye solution in the refrigerator in a plastic bottle. The best way to keep it out of the hands of children is to identify it.

If you find the wax has reached 80 centigrade and still had unmelted wax then do not continue to heat it, just place the jug safely on a table and gently stir the wax and you'll find it will dissolve the remainder of the wax using its residual heat. Once fully melted you can then go ahead and add any fragrance and dyes to the wax (see this instructional post for more information). It is possible to have a wonderful-looking kitchen with dishwasher-safe glass cookware if it is properly maintained and cleaned.

What you'll need

The safety criteria for a product can usually be determined by searching for them on the internet if they aren’t listed on the label of the product. Because Pyrex manufactures borosilicate glass, the company follows the thermodynamics of expansion and contraction caused by temperature variations. Even if it isn’t completely accurate, it doesn’t matter. In any event, be careful. In general, water should never be added to chemicals.
