How does dry milk compare to regular milk?

[Saulbadguy]

I rarely use milk, so I don't like buying it because it spoils. Does dry milk taste the same?

Can I make a caucasian with it?

Does freeze dried fruit taste the same as fresh fruit?

Not even close. I'd go without milk rather than use powered.

 

[Lonyo]

Buy longlife milk?
Split the milk into smaller containers and put some in the freezer?
Buy smaller containers of milk in the first place?

Too, too true -- even in a mixed drink, mere alchohol can't overpower it's retch inducing badness, BUT . . .

Fresh, real milk DOES indeed freeze and re-thaw without any noticeable degradation in taste. Just be sure you do so in a container that won't taint the taste. Glass is the best, but presents obvious problems with freezing -- be sure to leave some room for expansion is you use glass, because expansion WILL happen.

Hmmmmm, just looked up "caucasian". Google sez you should use half and half, with ice cubes -- gave me an idea. Why not buy a pint of half and half and pour it into a plastic ice cube tray, and then cover the tray with saran wrap before putting it in the freezer?

Then skip the ice cubes with your drink and substitute with half and half cubes, ftw! :laugh:

Dry milk is nasty.

The wind blows and I see dust
A cloud of white upon the horizon
My pallet knows, this is a bust
Breakfast is wrecked
For the chidren of the nation
These cheerios, soggy and tainted
Have gone to waste in
This milk of devastation.

Taste is based
From the bones of zombies
The dust is ground
It's not safe to eat or drink
When powdered milk's around!

Call in the troops
Cause here's a scoop
For you and your group
There's a drink around town
And it tastes like foo
The man in the tin suit
Bearing bitter fruit
Breakfast cereal turns to soup
Tastes like puke

Oh no!
It's the Powdered Milk Man
Oh no!
Holding the Powdered Milk can
The super villain comes a creepin'
When you're sleepin'
And must be stopped anyway we can

[Chorus]
You stand before me I will defeat you
You will not break me I will not take you
You're just another unearthy poison
Someone will stop you
You and your kind, step back!

Whoa ho ho ho Powdered Milk Man
Whoa ho ho you must die!
Whoa ho ho ho, Powdered Milk Man
Whoa ho ho ho whoa!

[Chorus]

Whoa ho ho ho Powdered Milk Man
Whoa ho ho ho you must die!
Whoa ho ho ho Powdered Milk Man
Whoa ho ho ho you must die!

Excellent idea but you'd still want to toss in a few regular ice cubes into the drink as I suspect the water from the melted ice cubes takes the edge off the Half & Half.

On the dry milk part -- that stuff is really nasty.

 

[Pocatello]

Dry milk is good for emergency situation or in poorer countries where only a few can afford a fridge and have electricity. Other than that dry milk taste horrible.

 

[Fritzo]

Dry milk is just like regular milk, except it's less wet.

 

[HN]

if you, uh, hydrate, dry milk with wet milk, then i don't taste any difference

 

[Syrch]

Its honestly not that bad.. I had to have it a few years back during hurricane season when we lost power. I probably would not have known the difference if i didn't subconsciously know it was dry milk

you could try to find some of that pouch milk that is shelf stable, although knowing Topeka, you'll have to buy it in Lawrence.

 

[imported_Tick]

Get condensed milk cans, if you really don't want to go fresh, then thin it back out.

 

[sswingle]

Dried milk = teh nasty

 

[Saulbadguy]

The government stores dry milk underground in caves to control the price of milk.

Some use half & half, I prefer milk.

 

[cherrytwist]

It's much better when you snort it.

Procedure still applicable. You're welcome. :roll:

It's not milk. Just like baby formula is not real milk.
