Freezing milk and eggs??

22 years ago

I would like to take advantage of sales on milk and eggs. How safe are they to freeze? I usually use powdered milk when baking, but would frozen milk thaw alright for drinking? What about freezing raw eggs for future baking?

Thanks!

Lisa,
I have frozen milk and it is fine when you thaw it. Just shake it before using it. Sorry, I don't know if eggs freeze well or not. I've not tried freezing them, but I have heard that they don't. Good luck.

We buy milk by the gallon but I am the only one that drinks
it so when we bring it home we divide it up in several 1/2
gallon milk containers and freeze them. Be sure to shake it
up when it thaws.There is no taste difference.Many people
that have a cow also do it.

I buy frozen coconut milk all the time. That way I can break off only the amount I use. Perhaps when you buy it already frozen they use a special process, because I have never noticed the curdling or texture change grainlady mentions. I don't think I have ever frozen canned milk...I can always find a use for it. (Coconut pancakes....yum!) The curry paste can be frozen as well. I make my own curry pastes, and generally make extra and freeze it so I don't have to make them every time I want a curry.

This is a good recipe.... Ingredients for French Toast: 6 eggs 1/3 cup strawberry preserves 1 1/2 cup milk (may use a combination of milk and half & half) 1 loaf French bread (1pound) sliced 3/4 inch thick 1 quart fresh strawberries cleaned and sliced. Sugar to taste Strawberry Butter: 1/3 cup strawberry preserves 1/4 cup softened butter Also: Powdered sugar Almonds, sliced and toasted Whipped topping Beat eggs with milk and preserves. Dip slices of French bread into egg mixture. Place bread in large pan. Pour any extra egg mixture over bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Make strawberry butter by blending ingredients in a food processor or combine well with a spoon. Cook French toast in a greased griddle heated to 300 F. Turning several times until golden brown. To serve: place two slices of French Toast on each plate. Generously spread strawberry butter on each slice of toast. Top with sweetened sliced strawberries. Sprinkle on toasted sliced almonds. Top with a spoonful of whipped topping. Dust with powdered sugar. Serve with favorite breakfast meat, if desired. Makes 6-8 servings.

Not exactly sauce, but I know you can freeze milk. Once froze some buttermilk left-over from some recipe... WHY is the smallest container of buttermilk a quart?!? When it thawed, looked curdled... I tossed it. Found out later a spin in blender or vigorous whisking would have brought it back.

Yes you can freeze eggs, and they will be just fine.
freeze a couple, and let them sit out to defrost and see for yourself, if you're a little apprehensive.
I just found this out this morning. On occasion my fridge freezes things for no apparent reason. It froze a brand new container of sour cream too. now it looks mealy and separated. i hope stirring will help when it defrosts.

I don't like the texture change in yolks if they are frozen as whole eggs. I break a dozen eggs into a bowl and whip with a whisk until they are just blended, not fluffy at all. Then I freeze in ice cube trays. I have two older trays that make quite large ice cubes, so when I divide the egg mixture, each cube equals one egg, for use in baking, etc. I've also frozen two or three "eggs worth" per container in empty small yogurt tubs, etc., then popped them out and put in a freezer bag for easy storage.
