Most things will spoil more quickly in a completely open container than in a
closed one, milk included. There is significantly more opportunity for
bacteria, mold spores, etc., to settle on the contents when there is no
cover. I know this because I've experienced it several times over the years,
when I've not bothered to cover the food and when I have.
