Fuck. I will eventually have to buy my own pasteurization equipment, won't I?

Idiots. Raw milk is going to spread H5N1, which will ravage this country because there won't be a vaccine.

    I'm american. Born and raised (on the playground is where I spent most of my days). I do have to give it to the non-americans though, the self-centered assumptions of "this" country is out of hand. Be fair: Raw milk is gonna ravage everyone from every country.

    Also... wouldn't pasteurization... equipment just be... a... ...pot? blinks and squints, thinkingly, holographic formulas flying everywhere

    Technically speaking, pasteurization is rendering eliminate some percentage of bacteria via temperature and time. With a pot you can boil milk, which will render it safe for a time, and also destroy a lot of nutrients and change the flavor. Pasteurization as done in a dairy is typically lower temperature for a longer time, keeping the flavor and nutrients intact.

    Because it's not fully boiling you typically want a sealed container to keep new bacteria from getting in during the process. A pressure cooker is fine enough for home use.
