– The expiration date printed on milk labels is actually the “sell-by” date. Most types of milk can maintain their quality for about a week after this date if stored properly.
– Choose milk with a longer expiration date for better freshness.
– Store milk in the coldest and darkest part of the refrigerator, as direct light can affect its flavor.
– To prevent milk contamination, make sure to tightly close the bottle cap after each use.
– Freezing milk does not affect its quality but may reduce its creaminess.
– Skim milk has a higher calcium content than whole milk because the calcium is present in the water part, not the butter part.
– Sour milk is not suitable for drinking but can still be used in baking recipes.
– If a baking recipe calls for buttermilk and you only have fresh milk, you can substitute sour cream by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 240ml of fresh milk and letting it sit for 10 minutes.
– When heating fresh milk, avoid heating it directly on the stove. If you can’t heat it indirectly, rinse the pot with a splash of cold water before pouring the milk to prevent sticking and scorching.
– To prevent milk from boiling over, spread a layer of butter on the edge of the pot.
– Once milk has scorched, its flavor cannot be salvaged.
– To prevent a film from forming on the surface of heated milk, either cover it tightly after heating or stir the pot to create bubbles.
– Milk will curdle when added to foods with a lot of acid, such as tomatoes, citrus fruits, or wine.
