Did You Know

I love the Nespresso aerocinno for foaming milk perfectly and effortlessly but when it comes to cleaning the 'non stick' bottom surface it is anything BUT effortless and if it isn't cleaned between foamings it develops little burnt milk points.
My first solution was to scratch at the milk with my fingernails--not a happy one. A better solution turned out to be a dobie plastic sponge reserved for this use. But what a nuisance to have to hide not one but two dobie sponges from my cleaning lady who loves to grab them to scour the cooktop!
I've just discovered the best solution of all to remove the milk scum is to spray the bottom of the aerocinno very lightly with odorless cooking spray. If too much spray comes out simply wipe out the excess.Too much spray could affect foaming.
Voila! I mean ECCO!
When rinsing the aerocinno all the milk comes out easily.

so clever, and thanks for sharing! I had to replace my Aeroccino twice because of the annoying burn spot.
perhaps you can "re-season the pot," by spraying a little oil, and run the aeroccino dry and let the oil sit there for a while. Almost like seasoning raw aluminum pans to make them a bit non-stick, or when treating cast iron pots. a hair dryer or blow torch may help, too.

I haven't seen one of those sponges for years. I didn't realize they were still being made. What a flashback!

Ciao Rose,
I simply use a piece of kitchen paper to clean the aroccino. I wash it immediatly after use and dry the inside with kitchen paper. It works :o)
Bye,
Simona
