Milk is freezable...But requires vigorous shaking when defrosted. After
the shaking it is normal milk.

Ted shuffled out of his cave and grunted these great (and sometimes not
so great) words of knowledge:

Keep your refrigerator at 34 degrees. Most refrigerators are kept at
about 40 degrees. By keeping the unit at 34 degrees you will add
several days to the life of perishables.

But won't that freeze most if not all the produce in the fridge??

Katra, have you tried freezing heavy cream? I'm always buying and throwing away
either whole milk or heavy cream because we don't use a lot of it but when I
want it for a specific recipe, I want it (not non-fat)

Ummm...32F is freezing point....34 is higher than 32...Yes I know the
fridge will get below 34 when it runs...but not long enough to freeze
stuff.

I'm sure that wouldn't work, I've read that so many times.
The container might even say Do Not Freeze. Never tried
it myself, though.

I have not tried that, but I'm sure it'd be fine.
I've frozen whole milk, lowfat milk and buttermilk.
I generally just buy cream in 1/2 pint cartons and it's
good for at least a month if the carton is not opened.
That way it's there when I need it. :-)

In the same keep-it-cold vein, minimize the time the milk is out of the
fridge. Set a house rule to never set the milk down on the counter. I
vaguely remember hearing some statistic that every 10 minutes (or maybe
it was every hour) that the milk is out of the fridge reduces the
length it will keep by one day. So, don't set the milk on the table
while you're eating your cereal - pour it on and then put the container
back in the fridge. I've had pretty good success with this strategy -
milk usually lasts at least a week to two weeks after the sell-by date.


Hope that helps,
Melissa

I've had lettuce freeze in too cold a refrigerator and I don't think
it was as cold as 32°.

Another solution that works well is to add 1/4 tsp baking soda to a
gallon of milk and mix well. The milk keeps longer and it doesn't affect
either the taste or cooking properties.
