I have a problem with milk and only drink a little in my cuppas. I usually go through just under a pint in 3 days and throw any left away (as it only is supposed to last 3 days once opened).
At the mo all the pint milk seems to be snapped up. My daughter bought me a 2 pint one and said put half in an empty one.
I always freeze milk till needed.
Question: Do I have to sterilise the used plastic carton before I decant from the 2pint container or can I just wash it out with warm water perhaps will a little salt added? I don’t have anything to sterilise it with.
Glass is always the preferred option for storing milk Pesta. Glass bottles can be washed out just using hot water and glass doesn’t retain any of its previous content.
However, plastic is slightly porous and will absorb some of its contents which can not be rinsed out and cross contamination can occur…
Hmmmmm, just as I thought Foxy. Thanks. Don’t have any glass bottles, so guess I’ll have to throw it away after 3 days.
Awful to do when people might be scratching around for milk.
