hiIf you mean, "can I buy a gallon-sized plastic container of milk and chuck it in the freezer when I get home?," the answer is no. At the very least, you have to free up enough space in the container so that it doesn't burst when the milk expands in freezing. It will expand by 9 percent, so you need to remove about a cup and a half of milk per gallon to prevent a flood.
The other possible interpretation of your question is, "does freezing (and thawing) diminish the quality of milk?"
The people who promote and sell milk do not want you to freeze it. According to the National Dairy Council, freezing causes "undesirable changes in milk's texture and appearance." The dairy council wants every glass of milk you drink to be fresh, cold, and delicious. It wants you to love milk. It doesn't want you (or your children) ever to associate splotchiness or graininess with a glass of milk.
And freezing milk does cause some degree of separation among its components. Skim and low-fat milk freeze (thaw, actually) better than whole milk, as there is less separation. You can shake the thawed milk vigorously or beat it in an electric mixer, but it still will not have the same "mouth feel" as milk that has not been frozen. The dairy board and other milk groups suggest that you might prefer to use previously frozen milk in cooking and baking, and save never-frozen milk for drinking.
There is some disagreement on how long you should keep milk in the freezer (ranging from three weeks to three months). Milk readily absorbs other flavors, so the sooner you get to it, the more likely it will still taste like milk. It should be thawed in the refrigerator, and will take a day or more for a gallon to thaw thoroughly.
Goooooooooooooooooood luck
Yes.
Yes you can.
ummm no!..if u do then it wont taste da same after it unfreezes..it will taste more like water than milk...and @ times it will go bad<very rare 2 go bad tho>...i suggest u not 2 freeze it...try and tell them 2 save up and 4 them to put 1/2 of money....
Yes, but it won't last too long in the freezer (especially if you have a frost-free freezer). Be sure to thaw and drink it in the next month or so.
yes you can just make sure you defrost it all the way before you drink it again and then shake it up so its all mixed together. my family did that same thing.
You can freeze milk, my mum used to do it. But I think that, like juice, once it has thawed out it goes a little bit watery.
Don't you guys have what we call Long Life Milk over there? You buy it off the shelf and it can sit there for over a year, but once you open it and put it in the fridge it only lasts a week.
Good stuff. Maybe you might call UHT? It stands for ultra heat treated
do it all the time....
of course u can freeze milk, but u should just buy milk. Buy couple of gallons of milk ( as much as u can hold in ur refridgerator ) at a time. Then, u don't have 2 go 2 the store that much.
Yes you can I buy a extra gallon of milk when it goes on sale. Just make sure you freeze it prior to the use by date.Thaw the milk in your fridge when you are ready for, and shake well, it will have lil frozen milk crystales in it.
Yes,the lower fat milks tend to freeze the best, but all varieties of milk can be frozen with great success. If you are concerned about the milk expansion, you can pour a little of the milk off of the top of each gallon, but I have froze them immediately without doing this and have had no problems with the gallon jug containers.
When you are about halfway through your gallon in the fridge, you will want to pull out one of the frozen gallons. It will take two or three days to completely thaw in the fridge so you will want to make sure you give yourself plenty of time.
Frozen milk will look yellow when you pull it out of the freezer and that is completely normal. When it thaws, it will return to its normal color.
Give your milk a good shaking, each time you use it, to reconstitute the milk together. The milk proteins do separate during the freezing process, but if you shake the milk well, you will not notice the difference in taste.
Once the milk has thawed, it will last for approximately five days before going bad. The milk can also be frozen for up to three months.
Yes, you can freeze milk in its original container. Be sure you shake the milk after you thaw it to assure that it is not separated when you pour it. You may notice a slight loss of flavor, but nothing noticeable--especially if you are using the milk in coffee or hot chocolate, in cooking, or on cereal.
My grandmother used to freeze milk to save money. She bought it on sale and was able to keep it for a few months. I wouldn't recommend freezing it for more than 3 months.
YES. I freeze mine all the time
my Mom's husband drinks a gallon of milk a day, she buys milk and puts it in the freezer all the time and I have dranked it and see no difference in it.
I have frozen it on accident and it's nasty when it thaws.
Yes, you can freeze milk. I worked at a shelter and they bought the groceries for the shelter every 2-3 weeks. With the milk, we just put it in the freezer and when the ones we keep in the fridge ran out, we put a frozen one in the fridge overnight to un-thaw but keep cold for the next morning.
