Frozen milk
 

Ok. This shopping trip I bought 2 gal. milk. I froze one. I put it
in the fridge about 3 days ago and so far I have had 2 glasses of milk.
The rest is still ice. How to you thaw it out without heating the
milk?

I am sure leaving it on the counter is not a good idea.

I think leaving out on the counter is OK, as long as you do so at a
time when you can check every few hours to see if there's still ice
left. As long as there's ice in it it will be cold enough not to
spoil, and even after all the ice melts it won't go bad in 2-3 hours.

Cheers,

Adilah

How about treating it similarly to a frozen turkey? Sit it in the
sink, and run cold water to surround it.

You need to plan a little. Take the milk out of the freezer and put it
in your refrigerator one day before you intend to use it. In 24 hours,
it should be safely thawed.

Oops. I didn't read either. The microwave idea makes sense.

Hey Stan, are you ok? She had it in the fridge for 3 days and it
still wasn't thawed out. Heat getting to you?

Howdy,

Where in the fridge did you have the milk?

I suspect that it was in the coolest part. A refrigerator is
not the same temperature throughout. Find the warmest
section, and put the milk there.

All the best,
