My experiences with powdered milk include: complex humanitarian emergencies, Western blot, and gulab jamun. Worked well in all 3!

Re: nutrition – it can depend on grade. Make sure you are using the high quality stuff.

spyvsspy: Are you calling me a pig? just kidding! Its surprising that a DAIRY farm would find it worthwhile to buy powdered milk… Were your parents able to get it super-cheap?

I grew up on a small dairy farm, in Europe. My parents used to mix powdered milk with water to feed calfs and pigs.

Just wanted to let you know I know two people who had powdered milk as kids and loved it: My brother and me! It was all we got at home. In fact, I was so used to it that when I went to school, I couldn’t even stand the skim milk! I did eventually get used to it after a few years

OMG. You are insane, but in a good way.

I live in BC now and totally forgot about bagged milk in Ontario. My mom must have had 15 of those bagged milk opening razor gadgets thingers.

Since I live on a farm these days, I just go milk a cow when in need of a dairy fix. Full fat unpasteurized milk anyone?

I have used dry skim milk for 3o years. It is excellent for cooking, baking and even drinking. It is lighter to carry in with groceries than liquid milk. I even make buttermilk with it. I mix it with regular buttermilk . It has a lot less salt than purchased bettermilk. I buy regular milk for my husband to drink.

we use powder milk all the time in the winter. there are lots of quick hot cocolate recipes. just powdered milk, sugar, cocoa, and creamer. we run ours through a coffee maker. Nobody drinks coffee at our house so at leas now it has a use. many times come winter we buy enough and mix it together to makes of the stuff. the kids usually drink it before walking to school.
