How people cook with it
Whole milk is a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory cooking. It can also be enjoyed on its own.
- Baking cakes and cookies
- Making creamy sauces
- Adding to coffee or tea
- Drinking as a beverage
Whole milk can be used in a variety of ways in the kitchen. It is excellent for creating smooth and rich sauces, like béchamel or cheese sauces, by simmering it with other ingredients. In baking, it contributes moisture and richness to batters for cakes, muffins, and breads. It can also be used to make homemade custards and puddings. For beverages, it adds a creamy body to smoothies and can be frothed for lattes or cappuccinos. It is also a comforting drink on its own.
How it differs from similar foods
Whole milk differs from reduced-fat or skim milk by retaining its full natural fat content. This results in a richer mouthfeel and a more pronounced dairy flavor. Other milk types have had some or all of their fat removed, which changes their texture and taste.
Who it is for
Home cooks and families often choose whole milk for its flavor and versatility in everyday cooking and drinking.
How to keep the rest
