<\/p>\nSo you bought a gallon of milk for a cake recipe, and only when you got home did you realise the recipe calls for one meager tablespoon.<\/p>\n
While turning the rest of that gallon into thick yoghurt, chocolate ice cream, or ricotta are all very admirable projects, you also can freeze it for later. Yes, really.<\/p>\n
Some things to keep in mind as you embark on mission milkberg: Don\u2019t forget to label your frozen milk with the freeze date, and aim to use frozen milk within three months. While it could last beyond that, milk contains fat, and fat attracts freezer smells. Onward!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If your milk jug is both made of plastic and small enough so as to not take up an obnoxious amount of space in the freezer, go ahead and freeze the milk right in its original container.<\/p>\n
If your milk came in a paper carton or glass container\u2014or there\u2019s just a lot of it left\u2014it\u2019s safer and quicker to decant into smaller freezer-safe, plastic containers. This way, you don\u2019t have to thaw a whole gallon each time you need just a splash. (Don\u2019t forget to return the glass bottle for your deposit!)<\/p>\n
Because liquids expand when frozen, be sure to leave a good amount of headspace\u2014at least 2 inches\u2014in your chosen, freezer-safe, plastic container. The only thing more cry-worthy than cleaning up spilt milk is spilt milk\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0glass shards.<\/p>\n Alternatively, you can freeze leftover milk in ice cube trays for easy portioning. Once frozen, transfer the milk cubes into a freezer-safe plastic bag or an airtight plastic container. These are great for solo portions of bechamel, or the aforementioned low-milk cakes.<\/p>\n The safest way to thaw frozen milk is overnight in the fridge: Place the container of frozen milk in a bowl to catch condensation. If you\u2019re planning on heating the milk up anyway, go ahead and pop the milkberg right into a saucepan.<\/p>\n Because it\u2019s only the water content in the milk that\u2019s freezing, thawed frozen milk may get a little chunky. Shake in a jar or whiz in a blender to re-emulsify. While it may not be the tastiest drinking experience, thawed frozen milk will work seamlessly in baking and cooking recipes. Once thawed, be sure to use the milk within a week (just sniff it daily lest it go bad sooner).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So you bought a gallon of milk for a cake recipe, and only when you got home did you realise the recipe calls for one meager tablespoon.
