Powdered milk preference?

[skfullgun]

I picked up a can of the Horizon whole powdered milk distributed by Costco. I figured I'd just have it on hand in case things got really bad - or so I don't have to make a 60-mile round trip to town to buy milk at the grandkids are here and need milk for their cereal. I'm not really much of a milk drinker and only use a little bit in my coffee, for baking, cooking, excetera. I would often have it sour before I could use it, even if I only bought a quart. Evaporated milk is great for coffee and cooking, but the can usually went bad before I could finish that as well.
So far, I really like the Horizon powdered milk. If it's cold, it's drinkable, and in coffee or recipes you can't tell the difference in it and whole milk.
I'm liking the fact that I can mix 8 ounces in a mason jar and store it in the refrigerator and use it up before it goes bad.

Amazon offers a multitude of brands, most of them cheaper than the Horizon brand. But, I don't want to buy something that's crap.

What brands have y'all tried that are fairly priced and stand up to comparison with whole milk?

Gossner pasteurized. Needs no refrigeration until ready to use.
Even after opening stays good for a VERY long time.
Hard to find but have seen it at $ Tree and some $ stores.

That's the shelf-stable stuff? I've bought it before and it was good.
Really hard to find lately.

I have even resorted to buying the small lunch box size containers of shelf stable milk with a straw stuck on the side. But, again, that's hard to find around here. So, I'm thinking of going with a powdered product that I can mix when needed.

It is probably all down on the border.

I just started using Nestles NIDO, as it comes in pantry size as well as the #10 cans.
I used to use Augason Farms until the smaller cans became harder to find, as I primarily use it in cooking. I am not much of a milk drinker anymore.

I find both are good, better if you let it sit for a while...

Walmart has both:

Augason Farms (#10 can): https://www.walmart.com/ip/Augason-...Nonfat-Dry-Milk-1-lb-13-oz-No-10-Can/21777157

Gossner's is available on Amazon but you're going to pay through the nose for it. Look's like you can also order directly from Gossner's.

I've got a bunch from Auguson Farms as well as a bunch of freeze dried food from them too.

How is the Auguson Farms Moo, milk alternative?

I like the fact that it has a 25-year shelf life.

Seems to be better than stuff like Carnation powdered milk, but not as good as regular milk from the carton.

I liked the Country Fresh more than the Moo... never was big on "low fat" stuff...

I’m going to have to stick with plain ole titty milk, no nut milk, powdered milk or anything else.

I drink from the spigot.

Remember...if it has nipples, you can milk it!

Not exactly an answer to the question you’re asking but a possible solution. If you have the freezer space you can freeze real milk for future use. I am talking about the half gallon cardboard cartons, not the plastic gallon milk jugs. Growing up in a military family, they would get paid once a month so my mom would go to the grocery store and buy a months worth of groceries to get us through. She would always buy extra milk and freeze it. Just an option for you.

Stay away from me please. I mean heck, I have nipples and never has a drop of milk come out of either one so don't get any ideas if we happen to run into one another during the apocalypse!

With us becoming more and more like Venezuela every, day under Biden, soon we may not have electricity to run a freezer. Powdered milk is probably a good thing to have on hand just in case.

That's why I recently got a solar system. I don't trust Ercot or any grid system for that matter.
