![]() ![]() ![]() | Should I freeze milk? Kroger has milk on sale (4 1/2gallons for $5.) Is it worthwhile to freeze it? If so, these would replace the frozen water jugs that take up the empty space in my freezers.

![]() ![]() ![]() | While pasteurized milk can be frozen; it may separate or be slightly grainy when thawed. Frozen milk works best for cooking, but you may find it's still okay for drinking. Freeze milk in plastic freezer containers or special freezer-proof glass jars. Leave some extra space at the top since milk expands during freezing. If packaged in a wide-mouth container, leave 1/2-inch head space for pints and 1-inch for quarts. If packaged in a narrow-mouth container (such as jars), leave 1 1/2-inch head space for either pints or quarts. Plan to use frozen milk within a month. Thaw milk in the refrigerator. Stir well before using. obtained from... http://lancaster.unl.edu/food/ciqo.htm

![]() ![]() ![]() | If you have the space but IMO powdered milk would be a better choice. Long shelf life, no need for electricity and just need to add water. Powdered milk has come a long way. There is also radiated milk that does not require refrigeration but has a shelf life but if you have the room and electricity then go fer it

![]() | The only two problems you will have are: 1 - The homogenization will break down, as some of the fats join back together. 2 - Amy will complain that the milk is WAY past expiration when you thaw. (#2 may only apply to my situation. )I've done it many times and it works fine. Thawed frozen milk is much better tasting than reconstituted powdered milk, IMHO.
