Got Milk?

[ElevenBravo]

Speaking of powered eggs... I *love* Ova eggs, taste like the real deal, because they are made from the real deal, and processed to finish off like the real deal...

You can really dress up the powdered eggs....I've made a big mess of powdered eggs....with mountain house chili....powdered sour cream...and freeze dried cheese.....yum...

Uhhh...that doesn't even sound good. Must be a guy thing.

I'm going to try doing eggs in my dehydrator...much cheaper.

I'm with Lady on this one. We do have some powdered milk, and I think it's nasty, but it works for cooking. Powdered eggs.....egads, I would rather go without. My hens have continued to lay so far this winter, that works for me.

I honestly don't cook with milk enough to even miss it. I don't remember the last time I used it so I guess I wouldn't miss it in shtf life. Now eggs, I could eat every day so I gotta figure out a way to have them until I can have chickens.

Well....if the fresh eggs are still around....by all means....fresh is better.

We keep powdered eggs on hand for the "Oh Crap" factor.

We do test and rotate stores....so we do incorporate it into different meals.

BTW....I don't make a "mush" out of that.....it is separate until served....

I did a quick search on this site and I didn't see anything on this topic so...

What powdered milk have you found that you like or dislike?


I'll go first. Justa and I are both milk drinkers and enjoy a glass a couple times a day so when we first started gathering our preps we were on a mission to find a powered milk that both of us liked. We were planning on buying allot of all at once to take advantage of the saving that you get when you buy in bulk and wanted to be 100% sure of our decision.

We ended up testing six different brands and the one we ended up getting is Grandmas Country, Country Cream® Instant 100% REAL Non-Fat Milk. http://www.grandmascountryfoods.com/...ProductId=1062

While getting the link to they're site I noticed that don't have the 6gal pails anymore and only offer it in #10 cans and sample packets.

We are fat free milk drinkers so we mix as per label, if your a 2% drinker just bump up the amount of powder.

It does taste like milk not like some others.

*We are not tied in with Grandmas Country in any way, shape or form just shearing what we have found.


Unopened has a 20yr shelf life.

Evolver I couldn't find anything on the site where I could just order a sample. I'm really weird about my milk too. I would rather go without than drink even certain brands of milk sold in stores (can't stand Kroger's milk) and it must be ice cold...plus no one better drink out of my glass - not even my kids when they were little. Yeah, I know weird huh?

I love powdered eggs! Not as good as the fresh, of course, but I've never understood the aversion many have for them. Of course, I also liked the Ham and Eggs C-ration and one of my favorite MRE's was the Vegetable Omelet, both of which were roundly cursed by my contemporaries<G>!

Back to the milk, someone on another site suggested Morning Moo from Wal-Mart. Anybody??

I second Evlovers info on Grandma's Milk. I followed his and Justa's advice on this some time ago and ordered the sample (or single serving) packs. My wife, the milkaholic, said it was the best powedered she ever had, and was as good as regular fresh. She's picky, so it must be ok;I dont drink milk so I have no dog in this fight.

Your right... Looks like they don't offer sample packs anymore. It really is 100% milk that tastes like milk should. Just like raw milk straight from the udder... It's best if you chill it overnight before drinking.

We tried Moos Milk and it tastes like Carnation instant.
