Questions about Milk
How much milk is a usual serving?
A glass is commonly about 200–250 ml, roughly 200–250 g. A 200 g glass provides 43 kcal and 3.4 g of protein.
Can you use milk in tea and coffee?
Yes. Add cold milk after pouring the tea or coffee, or warm it gently first; avoid boiling it, which can dull the flavour and make a skin form.
How do you stop milk from scorching when heating it?
Warm it slowly in a heavy-based pan over a low to medium heat, stirring often and taking it off the hob as soon as it steams. For the microwave, heat it in short bursts and stir between them.
How should you store milk after opening it?
Keep it in its original, closed container on a shelf inside the fridge, not in the door where temperatures fluctuate. Follow the use-by date and discard it if it smells sour or looks lumpy.
Can you freeze milk?
Yes: freeze it in a suitable container with room for expansion, as the liquid swells. Thaw it in the fridge and shake well, since the fat and water can separate; use it in cooking if the texture is no longer smooth enough to drink.
What can you make with milk besides drinking it?
Milk is used for porridge, pancakes, custard, béchamel sauce and creamy soups. For a smooth sauce, whisk cold milk into the roux gradually, then simmer until thickened.
What can you use instead of milk in pancakes?
Unsweetened oat or soya drink can usually replace milk in pancakes in the same amount. The flavour and browning may differ, so choose an unflavoured drink for savoury batter.
Is milk the same as low-fat milk?
No: low-fat milk has less fat, while milk in this entry has 1 g of fat per 100 g. Low-fat milk has 1.17 g of fat per 100 g.
Why does milk sometimes form a skin when heated?
As milk heats, proteins and fat collect at the surface and form a thin film, especially if it is left still. Stir while warming, or lay baking paper directly on the surface if you need to keep it hot.
