How to use expiring milk? Is there a way not to throw it away? What are the best recipes to consume it quickly? The following are the answers to all these questions!
No one can deny the fact that he, at least once, finds himself with expiring milk with no idea how to use it. Milk, somewhat like flour, is one of the foods that you can find in every person’s kitchen: it is consumed for breakfast or as a snack, is a versatile ingredient and used in many basic recipes both sweet and savory. However, there is always the risk of ending up with an expired milk!
For milk storage, a distinction must be made between fresh milk and long-life milk. The former should be placed in the refrigerator immediately after purchase, it will keep for a maximum of 6 days, and once opened it is recommended to be used within the next 48 hours. The shelf life is obviously extended for the long-life one, which can be stored (unopened) at room temperature for up to two months.
However, if you have miscalculated the time, here are some suggestions to please the whole family: cakes, cookies, ice cream, creams are just some of the best recipes to use expiring milk!
