Ikea Milk Frother - Yes or No?

[carlamoose]

Heh, yea if I'm going to spend that much, I'll just a new machine lol Hopefully I'll just adjust to the non-steam foam. Maybe I'll buy the $2 Ikea to hold me over until I save enough money for a new machine. Thanks for all of your help!

edit - Here's something else. I wonder how effective it is, although I guess it depends on your arm strength.

Ok I bought the Ikea milk frother and here's the verdict. It makes enough foam for a latte but not for a cappuccino. For what I wanted to accomplish, spending $2 on it is good enough for me. I wonder if it'll whip cream efficiently?

Hi Carlamoose,

I'm glad the milk frother worked out okay for you!

It's very possible that it will make whipped cream too, but you won't be able to do a lot at a time....maybe just a few ounces. Just be sure the cream and the bowl you're whipping it in are real cold.

Yea, I wasn't expecting it to whip cream for a pie or anything. Just enough for a single cup of hot chocolate or something. Or strawberries.
