Hey, how the heck do we heat up milk for hot cocoa and such?

@moonbolt (we uh are currently trying the microwave...hope it doesn't ruin it.)

@IceWolf @moonbolt the trick to heating milk in a microwave is not to run the microwave continuously. put it in for short bursts, stop it for a bit between each one. this is super-especially important for something like soy milk, which has different curdling properties and will get kind of gross if you heat it too hot

@IceWolf @moonbolt if my understanding is correct, if your microwave has a "low" setting that's actually what it does automatically - just turns the magnetron on and off periodically. but i'm not entirely sure

@typhlosion @moonbolt Neat! It definitely has a "power" setting in 10% increments; IWRC all microwaves we've seen so far have that.
