If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
How - heat to just below boiling; 'till the first bubbles appear.

What - custards and ice cream bases.

Why - Uh...Someone else will get back to you on that.
 
HOW: Bring the milk up to 180-190 F ... and hold it there for 2-3 minutes.

WHY: Apparently it kills a protein that affects volume, stability and texture - ref. Cookwise page 80. Yep, in both liquid and dry milk.

Shirley Corriher (food scientist and cookbook author) was also perplexed by this ... and after trying several things discovered that when in doubt, and the recipe calls for it ... do it.
