For those on septic tanks - when the milk is truly past using, pour it in the toilet. It will go straight into the tank and help keep things clear. The bacteria in the spoiled milk is exactly what the tank needs 😉. Rotten tomatoes are great for this too - as well as a quarter cup of regular old baking yeast every 90 days. Who needs ridex when we have what we need in the kitchen, lol?

Paneer making is very common in Indian homes. You can get a lot more cheese out of 2 gallons of milk than you see in this video. There is more casein in the whey that has not separated out, which is why the whey is somewhat milky looking. I use 2-3 tbsp white vinegar per gallon of milk. When all the casein has separated out, the whey should be a somewhat yellowish (with a hint of green) translucent liquid. The whey is great for cooking rice or lentils, or kneading bread or flatbread dough. Good for dogs too if your dog likes it and is lactose tolerant. P.S. if you don’t have a thermometer, just heat til it starts to boil, then add the acid. We just boil it when we make paneer at home. No thermometers.

I keep spoiled milk around for baking, it has a far richer flavour in the bread. I tend to put it in a jar labelled "baking milk" in order not to gross people out. I've also used soured milk to make condensed milk for pumpkin pie, simply by boiling it down to 50% with sugar added. It made a pumpkin pie that was not too sweet but had a delicious flavour. It's quite a wonder ingredient when you get comfortable with it.

The date on milk is NOT an expiration date, it's a SELL BY date. Milk generally unopened can last at least a week after sell by date passes and if you keep your refrigerator cold (35F-38F) it can last even longer. Sometimes refrigerators are 40F or above due to children or careless adults messing with the thermostat. You can also freeze milk, it tends to separate slightly but that won't hurt it for cooking and making cheese or yogurt.

I do something similar with out of date Greek yoghurt: I add salt, olive oil, chives, garlic etc. Then put the mix into cheese cloth, old (clean) bedsheets cut up will do. A few days hanging in my shed and I have lovely soft cheese, you can really play with flavours, herbs and such, even chilli flakes and paprika are great. It's surprisingly easy as there's no cooking and nobody hangs on to "old" yoghurt, so it's cheap, or free. I was taught this method by an old Israeli guy, who told me it was called prison cheese because convicts recieved rations of yoghurt with meals and made this in socks hung on their cell window's. That was many years ago, but I've since taught my son this method and we often try to out-do each other with inventive flavours and my family never tire of it.

In the old days milk that was on the turn, so sloppy texture but not yet off enough to make cheese, was used as a drink called buttermilk. It was tangy and stronger-tasting (like the difference in taste between green bananas and ripe ones covered in black spots) and was not considered 'off' or unusable. Basically milk could be used at all different stages and not thrown away - milk, cream, buttermilk, yoghurt, butter and cheese. Also there was curds and whey, when it started to separate into liquids and solids, which was considered good for children (as mentioned in the nursery rhyme "Little Miss Moffat").

When I was in 8th and 9th grade I worked in the school cafeteria. There were always some students who didn’t want their milk, and if they left it unopened we’d set it aside, let it sit out overnight and use it to make the dinner rolls the next day. We’d also use any other expired milk we might have at hand. The thing I miss most about public school is those mouth-watering dinner rolls in the cafeteria! I don’t even know a restaurant that makes better rolls. You can also use spoilt milk to replace buttermilk in recipes for pancakes or biscuits.

Great channel! Man, seeing someone not being scared off by those ridiculous expiration/sell-by dates is refreshing. I managed a cafe that was inside a larger store for about a decade. Expiration dates infuriate me to this day. These massive food companies slap them on knowing full well that their products will be fine for quite some time after the sell-by date. Whenever something hit the sell-by date, we'd just transfer it to the main store's break room fridge, where it would be promptly devoured by a horde of ravenous teenage employees. We used to turn our "expired" milk into chive-cheese spread, as well as making a pancake mix with it. Absolutely incredible.

So I decided to use this recipe for cheese instead. But it barely curdled with vinegar, just had tiny grains of protein. And it made grainy, bad smelling cheese even after rinsing through the cheesecloth. But heck I’m eating it right now anyway just mixed with other things. I will report back tomorrow if I have any intestinal side effects Eta: 😂 PS. Update. The remainder of the cheese stayed in my fridge for another few weeks until I threw it out.

A note on the dates put on the milk container...The date (in most cases) is used to rotate the milk out of the store, and to get people to buy more of course. But they do try to make the date so that the product will stay good in the fridge at home a week after that date. But it all depends on how the milk gets treated. A few extra minutes in a hot car before you get home can change all that in short order. The back of my fridge comes close to freezing things. So I put the milk back there and it has lasted over a month that way. No taste issues at all.

Same here. The back right corner of my last three refrigerators were the optimal place for milk longevity. I tried the designed door pocket, but almost never lasted through the "By date" there.

The best thing you can do with sour milk is make pudding. It has to be the kind you cook, not the "instant" cold pudding. The cooking stops the bacteria from continuing to grow and the sweetness of the pudding masks the sour taste. This is an old trick from days gone by and was used a lot during the depression. Older people know this. Not so much with the younger generation.

I use “clabbored” milk (mountain term for aged milk that has separated) in my cornbread , muffins, pancakes, and biscuits. I add a dash (about 1/8 teaspoon) of vinegar or lemon juice to about a cup & half of aged milk, to make it clabber/thicken more, and taste more like buttermilk. It’s almost as good as using bought buttermilk, IMO. Have done it for years with no negative effects. My mother and grandmother did this as well. Also, If I need buttermilk for a recipe, and have none on hand, I add a slightly larger amount of lemon juice or vinegar to fresh milk to turn it into thickened buttermilk. Works very well.

If you take the cheese after it has finished draining and put it into a food processor and process it for just a minute or so, (you can add salt or any seasoning during this timeyou can then shape it, and it will turn into a more solid piece that is easier cut without falling apart. Also, if you are looking for another type of cheese to make that just as easy as this one, check out under the name "Ayib" It uses buttermilk, but is left crumbly (normally). And will have some what of a slightly different flavor.

An alternative to that is to warm the milk to a bit below blood-heat, then add a carton of "live bug" yoghurt, then put the milk into the stocking, and hang it up for about a day. It should drain out in that time. Makes what is known as "Cottage Cheese". Can be tipped into a large bowl and have salt and freshly ground black pepper sprinkled over it and mixed up thoroughly. It is a beautiful spread or even eaten by itself and has its own "sourish" taste from the live bug "souring" it undergoes. This is basically a recipe I learnt from my grandmother many decades ago. The only difference is that back then we did not have pasteurised milk and we didn't then need the "starter pot of live bug yoghurt".

You can also use it to make Dulce de Leche. All you gotta do is add lemon juice so it curdles more and then add sugar and a few cloves and cinnamon sticks. Just boil it until it the liquid evaporates. The resulting product will be the traditional Dulce de Leche only instead of a smooth, caramel-like texture you will get a product that's granular in texture. Depending on the amounts of sugar and lemon, your Dulce will be more on the sweet side or on the sour side.

Haven't bought milk at the store in nearly 2 months. My friend said that we need to use the milk while fresh and not to keep it past x number of days. The other day my 13 yo had a glass of milk which was only a day old. By the taste he could tell how fresh it was. Then proceeded to say he likes the older milk (past my friend's recommendation) over the fresh. I think there is an element of preference to the "best by", "use by", and "expired" dates; be it store bought or home produced.

My parent-in-laws buy 6-7 gallons of milk per week. They often have 1-2 gallons they throw out because of the expiration date. I am gonna give this a try...we are all cheese freaks, so with cost skyrocketing, this should be appreciated by everyone!! Thank you!!

@Dinkyjean1 2 жыл бұрын

@@cluniliny because most of the time they go through a gallon a day easily. But if appointments or things come up ((both in their 80's)) then they leave the house and don't drink as much so when it is time to get fresh milk, they generally pour the left over in giant disposeable aluminum pans for the barn cats ((she has 17 of them...all fixed & all tame)). This gives me something to do with at least some of it to benefit their needs and mine & my husband's (their son).

Never heard of farmers Cheese. In India this is call Chhena in Hindi and we set it in blocks called paneer. Most south Asian counties and mediterraneans make this and particularly in India its stable with vegetarians. We been making this for centuries and it can be traced back to 16th century. Yes one of the easiest. I just boil and add lime pt vinegar. We make sweets and curries with it. Yum!

@@SelfServingSkilletl should have mentioned I leave the curds loose and I and a 1/4 cup whey back in and stir it around with a fork. This is done on a scale and ends up being a pound. I also use a fine wire strainer, I don't bother with the cheesecloth. I then mixed this cheese curds with some fried onions and some spices and mix it with egg noodles and this dish is called macaroni and pot cheese, I learned to make this from my mother-in-law. She bought it already made from the supermarket but I learned to make the cheese the way you do. Using the cheesecloth and putting it in the refrigerator makes a nice solid piece of cheese, I have to try it that way also to make the queso fresco and then make pan de bono ( Colombian cheese ball ) my wife is Colombian
