Nestle Nido Milk Powder 400 G (Pack of 6)

My nearest shop is a twenty minute drive away. We get though quite a lot of fresh milk and I hate to run short.I do buy 'longlife' for emergencies, but it's not a patch on this dried, whole milk powder. Packs of dried skimmed milk are expensive and poor tasting. So when I discovered Amazon were selling this, a test run was a definite no brainer, I was more than pleased with the quality, and it's a permanent standby now, I'd be really stuck without this, especially in winter.I particularly went for this brand for several reasons:Each 400g tin is securely and hermetically sealed. Shelf life is two years from date of manufacture.Once opened, the close fitting top excludes air or moisture and helps keep any unused product fresh.Economy - the price of dried, skimmed milk is generally much more expensive than this full fat product, weight for weight.Flavour - this is really good quality powdered, full fat milk. And apart from a small addition of soya lecithin to act as an emulsifier and keep the milk fat in good order, there is nothing else to adulterate the milk.Compare this with the additives some companies put in to stabilise their products.Reconstituting this powder is simplicity itself.130g (around an average mugful of powder, if you can't be bothered to weigh) add to 900ml water (the same size mugful, filled up with water three times). Mix thoroughly (it mixes easily), and there you have it. A litre of whole milk.If you want to use it hot, reconstitute it first with cold or just tepid water, mix thoroughly before cooking with it.If you add the dry powder to too hot liquids, it'll cook the protein and might go a bit lumpy. This product is in no way related to 'coffee whitener.'A 400g tinful will reconstitute to around three litres of full cream milk.It does work out slightly more expensive than whole, fresh milk, depending on where you buy your milk.But it will be worth its weight in gold when you can't get to the shops.There is nothing this product can't do - it makes lovely creamy custards, milk puds, hot chocolate drinks, lattes, cappucino, the lot

Excellent product and I use it in a few different ways. For day-to-day use I make up a container of powder mixed 50/50 with Nestle Nido full cream milk powder + the other 50% is skimmed milk powder, freely available anywhere, any old supermarket cheap brand seems to do.I then find that this 50/50 powder mixes much easier into any kind of liquid than just using Nestle Nido Full Cream on its own, and also, I find the taste to be much "cleaner" and "fresher" than a total mix of Nido. I suppose that mixing it 50/50 with skimmed powder I end up with a drink very much resembling semi-skimmed milk and this is what it tastes like. I was used to drinking "reconstituted" milk during much of my working life in the places we worked so I know the taste is good.At the same time, I *must* mention just how convenient this Nestle Nido milk is. I live alone now and have really stopped buying cartons of milk from the supermarkets or elsewhere - too much spoilage. A tin of Nestle Nido powder means I *always* have milk in the house. - OK, it takes a bit of prep but after a lifetime working overseas in oil-camps etc., this stuff tastes better than many other powdered milks I have experienced in my life.And a very nice treat in the morning is to make up a half-cup of Nestle Nido Full Cream milk, stir and mix it slowly. *THEN* top up that cup with quite a bit of "shaky milk" as we used to call it - [Evaporated milk, sometimes you had to shake it to get it out of the hole in the can!]*Then* after getting your cup of mixed/shaky milk together, just go and dip every single spoonful of proper porridge oatmeal into it for a real creamy taste. [And I use a mix of *oat groats and pinhead oatmeal* which taste even better with powdered & shaky milk! You can buy 'em all on Amazon!]Man, sometimes it all tastes so good that I think I'm back in those real cold climes!

I hate skimmed milk and also semi-skimmed milk and more and more supermarkets are no longer stocking full fat milk. Why? Its healthy (not much difference in fat content from the foul tasting low fat versions, higher in calcium and tastier!) and me and my family all love it, including my cats. However, I live in rural Scotland and on occasions it has been known for us to get snowed in and being without milk for a cup of tea or for cooking is unthinkable. I don't like powdered creamers for tea (tastes sickly) and really, all I like is full fat milk. This is fantastic! Pack of 6 in stock for over the winter months, can be reconstituted to full-fat milk which tastes great! simply make it up in a bottle and stick it in the fridge, you have milk! and also it can be used in cooking. I make several loaves in my bread maker that require the addition of powdered milk and also I use this to make hot chocolate of an evening. There is so much to use it for, but the main thing has to be the security of never running out of milk.Great value and awesome that Amazon can deliver to this me in bulk. Happy Days!

I’ve bought these in the past and they’ve had long long expiry dates, meaning we’ve been able to use them over a year or more. These six expire within 6 months by September 22, so we’d have to use more milk than we possibly could in the meantime. You also can’t return them due to amazon’s policy.
