Love this. I have learn if our milk smell bad? Pour it in a canning jar then smell it again. 9 times out of 10 it the bottle smells. My milk has lasted longer in a jar. If my milk start to curdled in my coffee, then I know it’s no good.

Amber / dark jars are best.

This is not for everyone ... I like to drink buttermilk, cold and delicious. It is useful in baking or even marinating chicken or making salad dressing. I used to buy a quart or even a half gallon of buttermilk and refrigerate it, of course. However, I have learned how to make it myself: I buy a half gallon container (plastic) of whole or skim milk, drink half of it. I buy a quart of buttermilk, and add at least half the buttermilk to the milk container, and leave it on the counter. The mixture sours (a couple of days and it's quite sour). At that time, I shake it, use some of it or add more milk. I refrigerate it if I am going to drink it, or not use it for several days. I've kept this going for several weeks; no need to add more buttermilk, since the culture is ongoing. If I want a thicker version, I add whole milk. It can be made into cottage cheese or farmers' cheese, as well. It is not actually storing milk, but after all, yogurt, sour cream, and cheese are all 'milk gone bad', or sour milk. Like I said, not for everyone! I learned this from a chef on KZbin.

We switched to powered fat free milk a few years ago and it's been really convenient. We were finding that the milk from the grocery store was going bad in only a few days so we decided to switch.

Awesome information! And I go through a lot of milk. I love the idea of the wallaby bags! I was going to do canning jars since I can, but I think I’ll do a few jars and a lot of wallaby pockets👍 I love all the information that you have passed on to your audience for all these years. I have been one of those people who have benefited from it. In case you’re wondering if you made a difference in the world, you certainly have in this family🤗❤️. Blessings and please keep the ideas coming, I’m afraid we’re going to need them.🌻

My aunt buys extra milk and freezes it. They pour out a glass from the carton allowing room for expansion and then they thaw the entire half gallon when they need it.

Great advice! I use powdered milk quite a bit for cooking. I don't have a freezer, and the apartment I live in is not large enough for me to have one, so freezer space is really not an option for me. Storing and rotating powdered milk is though, so that is the route I go. When I first started doing this, I was surprised at how quickly I went through the milk. Thanks for always sharing tips that help to keep us safe!!

Our milk is Canadian sold in plastic bags, I throw 2% milk bags in the freezer, when I need it i place the frozen bag in the sink in cold water it defrost fast or leave it in my fridge for a day, shake the defrosted milk and back to normal, yum and no waste.

@swatson1190 5 ай бұрын

I use evaporated milk and dry milk. But you can store milk in breast milk bags for up to a year in the deep freeze. It will last in the refrigerator freezer for 6 months.

@swatson1190 5 ай бұрын

The bags are made from the heavyweight plastic. The max you should put in the bags is 6oz.

@swatson1190 5 ай бұрын

The rules for using frozen milk is the same as breast milk because it is cow's breast milk. We are both mammals. Lol.

There's also shelf stable liquid milk in aseptic cartons (they look like giant juice boxes with a screw top lid). They're UHT pasturized at a very high temperature. They keep for a really long time (check the date on the container) and you just use them like regular milk. We keep a bunch in our pantry because our kid is lactose intolerant and we can get lactose free shelf stable milk. It also doubles as the backup liquid milk for my spouse that likes milk in his tea or coffee. They sell regular (not lactose free) milk in the cartons as well. Some people say the milk will last for 2 or 3 days at room temp after it has been opened, but I've never tried that.

What does it taste like?

@KellyS_77 5 ай бұрын

@@jessicaquiroz7178 I think it just tastes like regular milk, my spouse says it tastes like "cooked milk". I guess it depends on how sensitive your tastebuds are. You could always buy a carton and try it out? It's not super expensive, especially if you're buying the regular (not lactose free) kind.

@@vickymizell2443 I'm not the best person to ask, I don't live in the USA anymore. But I do remember seeing it in some of the normal grocery stores like WalMart. You usually have to look for it, sometimes it's with the baking supplies, sometimes it's where they keep the shelf stable alternative milks (soy, oat, etc).

I've had milk last 3 months in the 'fridge. I've also had it sour and curdle before it hit the expiration date. As Forrest Gump said, You never know what you're going to get.

My Nido whole milk keeps for a long time after expiration date on my pantry shelf. Of course it does depend on how hot your pantry gets because heat will degrade it faster.

7-10 days for skim milk? I only used to get 2 days once open and stored at 33F, that is why I now buy that 'lactose free' milk. I never compared the price but the '2% lactose free' lasts for months.
