Red Cow Full Cream Milk Powder 2.5 Kg (5.5lb), Made From Real Fresh Milk, Product of Netherlands.

I am a very picky eater. It started at the age of 1 1/2 to 2 years, I never grew out of it. That being said, the Red Cow Full Cream Milk Powder is an excellent replacement for fresh dairy. It's shelf stable, you only refrigerate leftovers. Has all the characteristics required for baking or cooking with milk as an ingredient. The only thing I haven't mastered are puddings in the J box. For some reason, it's not as simple as adjusting the liquid measure, which is water, after making sure I incorporate the two powders (J boxed powder and Red Cow Full Cream Milk Powder together. It turns out runny, or turns into gummy paste. Blech. The hard for me to master J box puddings are the cook and serve. Instant puddings don't have the same issues. I use a hand mixer, or my food processor. Either works. Although the food processor is faster and powers through lumpy liquids, making them smooooooth. (lol) Overall, in spite of the J box mishap, this product works a treat. If you are trying to save money, like I am, by reducing the amount of food I end up throwing away, I have an empty milk jug that sits by and waits to be filled half full of store bought, liquid milk. It doesn't matter whether it's full fat, 2%, fat free, or any milk substitute. To start, using the recipe recommended on the can, 1:1 ratio of milk powder and lukewarm water. It will be lumpy, but the more vigorous the stirring, and a pass through a sieve to get the teeny tiny little lumps, you'll have a cheaper milk product in your fridge. The milk powder also works well straight out of the can as a dairy creamer for coffee or tea. The powder likes warm to the touch water. It will be lumpy in cool, cold water, and performs the same in water that is too hot. Yes, I get lumps in my coffee and tea, but they will dissolve as the temperature drops in your cup. Cooking with Red Cow Full Cream Milk Powder is easy peasy, add the powder to your dry ingredients and mix well. Too well. You can't over-mix at this stage. Add water to the liquid(s) used in your recipe, calculated from the amount of powder added to the dry ingredients. I sieve the liquid directly into the dry ingredients. Mash out the most egregious lumps, passing it through a second time with liquid reserved for this purpose. It's not really necessary, as I haven't had any lumpy gravy or cream sauces using Red Cow Full Cream Milk Powder, but I do it anyway. As for taste. It tastes like milk. I have never been a milk drinker, but I do eat cereal. There is a slight flavour I can't pinpoint, but it's not bad. Disappears if dividing and adding to your milk percentage of choice. Also, much better tasti ng when icy cold. My daughter puts her smaller 1/2 gallon container in the freezer, partially icing up the container. She said she can't tell the difference. And there you have it. A very satisfied customer, indeed!!

Excellent Product - good taste - dissolves quickly. Only problem was with Amazon's packaging. Cans very heavy and were simply dumped into a large box with no cushioning. One can was very badly dented and the other only slightly. I opened the most damaged can and put in my container as I wanted to try product anyway and use. The other I did not open and I believe it will be OK. So I will get the use out of this product as I desired. However, when I buy this again, I will only purchase one in the hopes it will not bounce against another expensive product. I thought the seller should know how Amazon packed their product.

Absolutely LOVE this milk! I don't drink milk like most people. I will only consume it in cereals and bake goods and OMG, it is the best milk. It's wonderful for cooking and baking. I never thought I would love my breads, cereal, dry ingredient pantry meals more until I used this milk powder over the other. I don't want to run out. For a richer taste I add extra table spoons over the recommended directions. I let it sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours and shake the container occasionally. There is no grainy consistency or after taste...and WOW. Excellent quality in my book and worth every penny. 👍

Best powder milk I ever had. Dissolves great, taste great. Will be a staple in my house.

I love this product for my morning lattes. It tastes better than fresh milk in my opinion. Just add a scoop powder directly to your hot beverage of choice. I use a hand frother to mix it up -- no need to heat up milk. It's also nice to have on hand for baking, soups, etc -- it's the perfect milk replacement. (One note of caution, I must have accidentally ordered the wrong size this last time... Imagine my surprise when a 5.5 lb can arrived on my porch. Oh well, I'll use it up.)

My family goes through so much milk and bought these for backup in case we didn’t have time to make it to the store. It turned out to be very good. The taste is amazing, the product mixes well in cold water.

I keep ordering this dry milk because of its excellent quality and ease of use. Add richness in baking, Perfect taste and smell, mixes well in English tea and coffee. However the tin comes punched in. Price is reasonable, I wish they do auto ship.

I bought this 2.5 Kg can of Red Cow to keep with our emergency supplies, unopened. But I also bought a 900g can to try it out for myself. It is very, very good. Sweet and creamy like fresh milk. But, in my household it's not going to replace fresh whole milk for our daily use - for one thing, because of the price. But it is an excellent substitute when we run out and don't want to make the trip to the store just for milk. And I'm guessing mixing it at double strength will make for an acceptable replacement for half-&-half in my coffee. And since we only expect to use it occasionally, I transferred the milk powder from the open can into sealed Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers to extend the shelf-life. The little 1/2 pint bags that come with most Mylar assortments is perfect for holding 1 cup of powder, which is the right amount for mixing up 1 quart of milk. Contrary to the experience of many reviewers, neither the big 2.5 Kg can, nor the 900g one arrived dented.
