Roundy's Instant Nonfat Dry Milk Powder
What it is
This is a powdered form of skim milk, meaning the fat has been removed. It is made by evaporating water from pasteurized skim milk. The powder is shelf-stable and can be reconstituted with water to create a liquid milk beverage. It is a convenient way to have milk on hand without worrying about spoilage.
How people cook with it
This product is useful for a variety of cooking and baking needs, as well as for drinking.
- Reconstitute for drinking
- Add to baked goods
- Thicken sauces and soups
- Make puddings and custards
To reconstitute, measure the desired amount of powder and add the appropriate amount of cold water. Stir or whisk until the powder is fully dissolved. For example, to make one cup of milk, mix 1/3 cup of powder with 8 ounces of water. It can be used in recipes that call for milk, or simply enjoyed as a beverage. The reconstituted milk will have a similar flavor and texture to fresh skim milk.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh skim milk, this product is dried and shelf-stable, requiring reconstitution. It has a longer shelf life and takes up less storage space. The flavor may be slightly different from fresh milk due to the drying process, but it is generally very similar.
Who it is for
Home cooks and bakers who want a convenient source of milk for various culinary applications.
How to keep the rest
Store the unopened package in a cool, dry place. Once opened, transfer any remaining powder to an airtight container and store it in a cool, dry place. It is best to use the reconstituted milk within a few days of preparation.
