Hi

I have a really silly question to ask and i think i know the answer but i wanted to just check first. I did a quick search and couldn't find it anywhere.

Can you freeze dried powdered milk??

(would normally ask my mum but shes on holiday plus she still brings up the "do you need to peel gooseberries?" incident) :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Can you all help?? It's goes out of date today and i can't use all of it up.

Snoops xx

**cough** What gooseberries incident would that be then ;):p;):p:D ? Should last for ages - I'm not to bothered about sell by dates on dried goods so I'd be using it for ages yet (I'm still using the pearl barley you got me from Lidl with a use by date of May 08 )......If you had a go at the yogurt recipe I gave you you could use some of it up in that !

Now go tidy your room!

Having worked in the food industry for many years I am well aware of the vagaries of the Best Before label and its meaning.But you should be aware that nowadays with government legislation all products have to have a BB date placed on them even though years after that date the product will still be safe to eat and taste exactly the same.All the BB means is that in their opinion this is the length of time that the product should be stored and that it is at its peak for.After that date the products taste/ texture could be reduced and thats just a could not would.So I would say leave the dried milk in the cupboard and continue to use it as you normally would as you will use it up long before the taste deteriorates

I've been using some that is dated Best Before April 2006.

Still here.

Maybe that's the cause of all the problems, though!!

Seriously, though: it's probably easier to keep it in its dried state rather than taking up valuable freezer space.
