Food storage tip


If you like milk fat, store cans of evaporated milk in addition to dry milk. If you add a cup of water to a cup of evaporated milk, you have something that is a lot like milk and has milk fat in it. This isn't as important for baking, where non fat dry milk is fine. But, for instance, if you want to add milk to your oatmeal, evaporated milk would work great.
I have even successfully used cans of evaporated milk years past their expiration date with no deleterious effects.

A fond memory of long ago is winter nights when my mother would make cocoa using evaporated milk.

In cooking, evap milk can act like cream, but with lower fat content.

Another good tip is that, at least in some stores, you can buy powdered buttermilk. Buttermilk works much better in some recipes than plain milk.
