1.5 LITER MILK BOILING JUG WITH INSERT - HART ALUMINIUM

This is a classic 2-piece ALUMINIUM milk boiling jug, a staple of the mid-20th-century South African kitchen. Manufactured by the iconic HART company, this set was specifically designed to prevent the messy "boil-over" common when heating milk. It includes the original, specialised internal "foam breaker" or "milk watcher" insert.

DESCRIPTION

• THE JUG: A sturdy, lightweight ALUMINIUM vessel featuring the authentic HART maker's mark. It includes a wide pouring lip and a heat-resistant handle, built to the rigorous standards that made Hart a household name in South Africa.

• FOAM BREAKER INSERT: A removable perforated ALUMINIUM cylinder that fits inside the jug. This ingenious device works by breaking the surface tension of the heating milk, preventing foam from rising over the rim.

• FINISH: Polished satin ALUMINIUM finish

• CONDITION: Excellent vintage condition. The interior is clean, and the ALUMINIUM shows no deep pitting or significant dents. The insert fits as intended.
