How Heated.—There are two methods by which milk is heated previous to skimming. First, by the use of direct live steam; second, by the use of heaters which heat with steam or hot water Fig. 68.—^The Twentieth-century milk-heater. Heating of milk with direct live steam is accomplished in two ways: first, by entering a steam hose into the vat full of milk; and, second, by making use of special heaters, which allow steam to come in direct contact with the milk as the milk passes through. The method of heating milk with direct live steam cannot be too strongly condemned, because it leaves bad effects upon the flavor of the butter. At the Milwaukee National Butter contest in 1903, where over eight hundred exhibitors were represented, the authors noticed that where the criticism "burnt, oily flavor" was made on the score card, the milk from which the butter was made had in most cases been heated with Uve steam. The burnt flavor may possibly be due to the sudden excessive heat to which the milk will be exposed when coming in contact with Uve steam. The greatest danger, however, in heating milk with live steam is, that impurities from the pipes and boiler are likely to be transmitted to the.
