PeakInstant Full-Cream Dry Whole Milk Powder, 400-Grams

I rarely drink milk any longer for calorie reasons, but still need it for cooking and baking. I hated buying even quart bottles that I would have to just drink part of because I often didn't use enough before it went bad. This product ends that problem! As others mentioned this is not the frankly nasty dehydrated milk that came in boxes that you might have tried in the past. It is high quality and tastes fantastic, and best of all in every needed way for cooking it behaves just like fresh milk. Even ranch dressing can be made with it! It's expensive, but if you're in a similar situation I am where you would use more fresh milk just to keep from losing it to spoilage, then this is very worth considering. The seller I choose has always sold cans that expire many months into the future. Occasionally there is a small dent but it in no way affects the product inside.

Part of my storage for the coming zombie apocalypse.

Fast and smooth delivery

I had not been able to find MILKMAN brand for many years and later found that they don't make it anymore. (apparently another company took over the recipe and it's back on the market and available here on Amazon) So I tried this brand based on reviews and the suggestion of friends in Europe who buy it regularly. I took one star off only because I don't like it as well as Milkman brand, but rest assured this beats every other type of powdered milk I have purchased and I very much like the packaging. Having it in a can is nice. The can is 4" in diameter and 5" in height. Basically the size of a small coffee can. It doesn't take up a lot of room, even though it looks rather large in the picture. It melts instantly in warm water, but not in cold. But it does melt within 30 seconds of stirring in refrigerator temperature water. The flavor is good, better than most, and for cooking, you can not tell the difference from real milk. I also consider this a good price for powdered milk, and remember, this is WHOLE MILK in powder form. The taste is amazing compared to normal American powdered skim milk which never even looks like real milk when mixed. I have used it with success in soups, cakes, pancakes, muffins and scrambled eggs with no odd flavor or difference in cooking times. I still prefer Milkman for drinking, but this is not bad at all, and again, probably better than anything you've ever bought in a box at the supermarket.

We like to travel with instant coffee packets, but struggle to find a good cream option that doesn't taste like a bunch of chemicals. This product works perfectly! Travel with it in a ziploc bag, no problems. Tip if you're doing this - dissolve coffee first, then add powdered milk, mixes better for some reason.

In my lifetime I have tried many dehydrated milk products starting in childhood and going forward. There have only been two (2) dehydrated whole milk powders that I have tried which pass muster, which really taste like fresh milk using the gold standard that is real fresh milk. This is one of the two. I use it in my coffee, my tea, my cereal, my puddings, and where and whenever I want milk, but may not have fresh milk on hand. I may in the future try another brand as I have in the past. However, thus far I have always come back to PEAK.

Instant hot chocolate mixes are not like I remember hot chocolate when I was younger. I’m 65 years young now. Whole milk was the milk we drank when I was a child, I don’t even know if 2% and skim was available. So hot chocolate was made with Hershey Quik chocolate flavor which had the sugar already added in. Swiss Miss is my choice for hot chocolate yet when made with water, it’s not the same. Even with using 2% milk it still doesn’t taste like I remember. Adding 1-3 tablespoons of this dry whole milk powder brings it to the next level! It’s the fat in the dry milk powder that add to the flavor and creaminess of the instant hot chocolate mix. Sure, you can make REAL hot cocoa from the recipe on the box of the Cocoa mix, if you prefer cooking it on the stovetop and adding 5 ingredients + marshmallows which is far superior to the instant mix. Yet adding this dry whole milk powder is a huge improvement!

Very good! Great for camping or travel
