If you are a bachelor, consider this: Buy a 4 liter milk jug instead of a 2 liter milk jug. Get your money's worth. When you open it, put a pinch of salt in it then shake. Your milk will last 2 weeks past the expired date. Take care.

When you open a new container of milk, put in a tiny amount of salt in it. This will keep the milk fresh much longer. The salt will settle to the bottom, so gently shake the container before pouring to distribute the salt evenly. You won't taste it!

RE: Add A Little Salt To Keep Milk Fresh Longer
So, "a tiny amount" is kind of subjective, it could vary a lot by who is measuring it. Do you mean just a couple of grains, or a pinch or what? Sounds like a good idea, but I don't want to make it undrinkable. (03/26/2008)
