Non-Fat Dry Milk Powder, GRADE 'A', High-Heat Pasteurized, Non-GMO, Gluten-FREE, Made in USA, Net Wt. 5 Lbs

Pay very close attention to HOW you open the pail, because you don't use the handles at all. If you need assistance, contact the company. My first attempt was shed-tool defiant. The patience required, it is worth it. Sweet, creamy fresh taste. Very fine powder and it mixes best in barely warm water, not cold. And check it's consistency and taste when ice cold before adjusting your ratio. My son likes all 3 tablespoons, but I use mine for my maple milk, and use only 2. Great customer service! They send a replacement the next day- and answered back in less than an hour. Excellent Service. Thrilled with the product.

I'm not one to write reviews, however, I found it amusing how many people complained about opening the container. Oops, obviously a novice. Lol. Folks, most of us have readily available a pair of scissors and if needed a flathead screwdriver. I simply snipped the tab on the left side (you know the one where the handle acts kind of wonky) and used the tip of the scissors to "POP" the tab open. Whallah, the tab popped open. The lid was tight; thankfully, because I am using the milk powder to make chocolates, and it will take some time to use it up. The first batch came out perfect and tasted yummy. 👍to the folks that designed the lid. Sorry for you guys the don't know how to WSNH.

I use this all the time in my sausage and would recommend to anyone starting. Mixes in easy and really helps keep the sausage moist.

Dried milk has come a long way since the early 1960's! This is such a nice product, using a whisk helps it blend up nicely. My only suggestion (after initially opening it) would be to transfer it to glass jars that you can open easily. For me, the little bucket that it comes in is hard to open, but it stores beautifully in big gallon glass jars. Easy to scoop out and mix up. Again, thanks for a good product, and the speedy shipment.

Getting the lid off was a bit of a challenge. I carefully used a box cutter to cut the retainer tabs between the lid and the container. Then it was easier to pull the retainer strap off. Then I used an indelible marker to mark the lid where it met the notch in the container. A sturdy table or butter knife was used to pry the lid off the first few times until it got easy enough to remove the lid by hand. Don't forget to match the lid's indelible mark to the container's notch when putting the lid back on. Two tablespoons of powdered milk is 17 grams dry weight, a cup is 68 grams. Two tablespoons will make 8-10 ounces of prepared milk, depending on how "strong" the taste is to your liking. Be sure to use cold, not hot water or the powder will cook into dough balls! This product is perfectly priced for a large family, or for someone who drinks, or cooks with, a lot of milk.

I have used many different brands of powdered milk but nothing taste like real milk as much as this one. Bought it during the lockdown so I would not be without milk when needed. I use one cup of powdered milk to 2 quarts of water to make a perfect tasting pitcher of milk. It is a bit harder to mix and I take the extra bother to put part of it in my blender and blend it up first before putting it in the pitcher with the rest and stirring it up. I hope it never becomes unavailable!

Covid-19 avoid grocery store, the shelves are barren anyway. It dissolves much easier than powdered buttermilk. Put water in container FIRST, then add powder. Nice mild flavor. To open, look for embossed arrows above Sausage Maker label with butter knife (the arrows are the same color as tub. A piece of collar breaks off to allow room to pry lid. I gripped container with clean grippy garden gloves and used the same butter knife to loosen lid. The entire lid dreaded to nice fine powdered milk. Dissolve milk in shaker cup. Great milk (added ice), chocolate milk (with Nesquik chocolate syrup) or hot cocoa. Perfect for baking. Directions on label are accurate 3 T to 8 ounces of water.

The milk is great, used it to make sausage from a Razorback hog. Worked great. Had a bunch left over so I make up a couple gallons of milk in empty milk containers, shook them up good, and refrigerated them over night. The kids didn’t know the difference. My teenager downed a gallon in one day. Asked him how it was, and he said it fine. For all those people complaining about the price... don’t buy it! It’s pretty simple. If you aren’t smart enough to figure out how to open the lid... ask your care giver to do it, don’t play with sharp objects. If you don’t know the difference between 5 pounds and 5 gallons, you should, again get help from your care giver.
