Re: does anyone freeze milk/doing this correctly

[Guest guest]

Liquids will expand when frozen causing a great deal of stress on your

container. To freeze you should empty some of the contents and make

sure it is in a container that is at least as strong as normal plastic

used for freezing.

When I freeze gallons of milk, I open them first and pour off about a 1/2

cup of milk, replace the cap loosely, and freeze. This allows room for the

milk to expand in the freezer. Otherwise you will almost surely get some

leaking out the top, and can even get a crack in the plastic.

correctly

I sometimes will freeze milk but lately a couple gallons have leaked while

thawing. Should I perhaps buy smaller quantities like a half-gallon so it

won't expand so much and cause a crack in the container, or does anyone

recommend a different-type container in which to freeze it? Thanks.
