Powdered Milk

Cloak · Guru

Do you ever get used to it or do you use UHT?

Just curious what others use.

gooba53 · Guru

We lived in PNG and used it all the time. Case of have to! But never actually got to like it !

bill12 · Guru

Never use anthing else. Even make cakes with it in my small microwave, in 5.5 mins! I use it for the convienience, and it definitely keeps longer. Bill

Use UHT from a storage viewpoint but always have powdered milk for emergencies. Don't like the powdered milk but it is marginally better than no milk. John

We use both, longlife and powdered. I doing mind either, it's handy to have a bit of both in the van. I use powdered for making white sauce, and cooking longlIfe for tea and coffee.

Cheers

If I must, can tolerate powdered in coffee, but many camping trips ago I learned to like black tea!

Gerty Dancer · Guru

Used to love powdered milk! But nowadays have to use soy milk, wish they would make a powdered version of that for convenience.

The only milk I drink either in coffee or straight is full cream. I can't handle even the "unleaded" stuff let alone UHT or powdered. I do use powdered milk in my bread recipe.

I don't contaminate my tea with milk (but do coffee) and I don't like margarine so I use proper butter rather than that artificial stuff that's full of numbers.

I do like avocado on my toast and sandwiches instead of butter.

(maybe the avocado is the reason my cholesterol is 3.5)

When I was married previously, all we ever had was powdered milk, I hated it and swore I would never have it again, and I haven't. I would rather have long life milk, than powdered.

GaryKelly · Guru

I gave up milk in tea too thinking that it might not be easy to get while travelling. And now I really like black tea! In coffee, I have whipped cream in a pressure pack. UHT milk is okay in things where you can't taste it, like smoothies with banana and/or chocolate. I suppose powdered would be okay too for the same reason... or cooking.

I gave up milk back in January when I was crook and they didnt know what was wrong with me. Haven't bothered with it since. One less thing to buy and find somewhere to store it. Before that I used the longlife.
Don't miss it but for coffee I buy the sachets. For tea, I'm enjoying it black.

Radar · Guru

For long time when I was away from home on the road doing long distant work in the truck I carried in my food supply goodies a tube of Nestle (not Nestl'e before that) condensed milk. It worked a treat not good for breakfast cereal thou. I drink my tea and coffee black now, finding I am enjoying it more. that reminds me it must be time for a cuppa.

Sheba · Guru

Started using Powdered Skim Milk when living up Cape York in '84. Haven't used anything else since.

Cheers,

Sheba.

I gave up milk in tea and butter and margarine on bread many years ago.

No powdered stuff for me unless in cooking, I like the tinned evaporated milk from Aldi when the fresh runs out - it tastes richer but can be watered down, whole or skim. And like Jim, only the real thing on bread, butter makes it better!

kandagal · Guru

I use longlife milk but my chauffeur prefers powdered

QueenKombi · Senior Member

All I ever use is long life milk, usually the 2% stuff as I honestly can't tell the difference between full cream long life or semi skim, yet I can't stand full skim milk doh

Prior to a trip, I try to remember to grab some of those small long life cartons, as they take up less room in the 18lt Waeco, plus I don't have to worry so much about them standing in hot weather. They've usually long gone before the bacteria start multiplying! And yes, I realise they're expensive, but they can't be beaten for sheer convenience smile
