- StillBored 7y agoIf the st really hits the fan you won't be able to run that freezer for long unless you also have sufficient solar and an ability to run it without grid tie.
- maxerickson 7y agoThere is shelf stable milk. Buying a sensible amount of that in normal times is probably the way to go. I haven't tried it, but my understanding is that it has the same caramel-sweet flavor that most lactose free milk has, because of the higher heat during pasteurization (UHT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high-temperature_processing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high-temperature_process... ). I think the shelf stable is heated more than the lactose milk, which the lactose milk is still plenty noticeable.

- lsaferite 7y agoHaving tried both I would disagree. Shelf stable UHT milk doesn't taste sweet to me at all. That is likely because lactose free milk is made by adding a lactase and then using UHT pasteurization to stop the chemical reaction (and extend the shelf life). This means the lactose is already pre-converted into glucose (and galactose) in this milk. Shelf-stable UHT milk doesn't have lactase added and isn't sweeter than normal milk. At least in my experience.
- SketchySeaBeast 7y agoI never had any luck unfreezing milk - the water and cream unfroze at different rate, and it ended up weird.
- effingwewt 7y agoYou can just shake it vigorously to reconstitute it. More places than you may think freeze their milk until they are ready to use it. I personally find that low fat or skim milk takes to unfreezing better.
