IME, shaking it doesn't help! Luckily I don't usually have to freeze
milk these days... I generally buy 4 liters (about a gallon?) at a time
and its gone long before it goes off - because I have a kidlet who loves
to drink milk BTW, our closest store is about 10km away, but I don't
mind going out to buy it if I run out.
