Birch & Meadow 1 Gallon Bucket of Whole Milk Powder, Light Sweet Taste (64 Ounce)

This dried milk, once mixed, is the best dried milk I've ever had. It has a slight sweetness to it and doesn't have the unpleasant aftertaste other dried milks typically have. The milk is somewhat expensive but fresh milk goes bad fairly quickly and I'm not able to just jump in a car and go get more any time I need to. Dried milk allows me to make only what I need without letting any spoil and go to waste.I love the milk but HATE the storage bucket which is a nightmare. When initially opening the bucket, the pull tab strip broke off before it was pulled even a fourth of the way around the lid. I then had to use a combination of a box cutter, sharp scissors, and a pair of heavy-duty pliers to finish the job - pull the pull tab strip all the way around the lid, smooth off the 4 large locking lid tabs, and get the lid removed. Then, there's the pulling and the hassle every time you go to get more dried milk out of the bucket. After some trial and error, I've finally discovered that a 5.5" flat pry bar tool works great and saves my fingers. I tried a 5 gallon bucket and pail opener, but it really didn't work with the smaller 1 gallon Birch & Meadow storage pail. Apparently, they don't make them for 1 gallon buckets. If anyone is interested, I purchased this 4 piece pry bar set: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CYWZH24C?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1(and no, I'm not getting any compensation, just sharing what worked for me)I figured, if you're gonna pay $8 - $10 for one inidividual piece anyway, why not buy an entire set with different sizes for $18 (with $2 Amazon coupon)? It's a much better deal (price per piece), it'll solve my problem, and I'll have a variety of pry tool sizes to add to my ever-growing tool arsenal for future projects. You just never know when a particular tool will come in handy and be just what you need. I'll save you a lot of trial & error and frustration I had to go through. For anyone else that loves Birch & Meadow milk but hates dealing with the storage bucket, the flat pry tool is the ticket! You're welcome!

The Birch and Meadow powdered whole milk has an excellent flavor. I use it particularly when I bake bread at home. One or two scoops (scoop not included) when added to the bread dough really improve the taste. It is a good way to avoid using table sugar because of the high lactose (natural sugar in milk) content. I like that it is packaged in a heavy duty plastic container that includes a handle for easy carrying. The one gallon size container saves money because it is buying the powdered milk in a bulk amount.

My friend is happy with the product.

The smell and flavor are just off putting enough that I won’t buy this again. It made my cereal taste like I’d added some substitute sweetener to it rather than the typical sweetness of milk. I’m going back to the other powdered milk I usually use.The seller contacted me and gave a full refund.

When I bought this powdered milk I thought it would taste like the other nasty powdered milk. To my surprise it had a great taste. I use it whenever I run out of milk. It is very hard to tell the difference. Can’t go wrong with this powdered milk. Buy an extra one for prepping.

The milk is pure and you get enough for what you pay for

It's great as long as you understand how to make powdered milk. Some of the disgruntled purchasers should read this! Powdered milk can only be dissolved in hot/warm water. Make a consolidate, theny ou can add cold water. It's a great product

I'm not a big Dry Milk drinker but very convenient if Your in a pinch! And this product is Pure Dried Milk, only, no other additives. ( But what kind? doesn't taste like Cow!) Just use good water and refrigerate for optimal outcome!There are no instructions! Not even on the cute little 10"x10" bucket! So I just guessed!Make sure You have scizzors to open lid carefully , So you will be able to close it again! It has 4 curves if You look closely to follow cut the little band below it first, to get started! It gets easier You will need to pull band CAREFULLY!It was the best price Over-all on Amazon! Some People have given this a 5 star and love the taste! I love regular Milk, so I simply appreciate the pure ingredient, just Dry Milk! and the Convenience of it! I guess it's pretty good as far as dry Milk goes? But what kind, of Animal? Not sure Cow milk tastes like that! Maybe the other one I tried before had stuff in it to change the flavor, or I would give it a 5, if I knew better, all and all I say Go for it You don't mind the flavor, can't beat the quality, I guess, the or price but the flavor would be up to Your taste buds!Well it is the next day and it Refrigerated it and I still, do not Like the Flavor what So Ever. I will never buy it again! But it might just be that I like Real Milk, but I have tried another one before, and I didn't disdain it as much! So maybe it would be better to try a different brand that may cost more!
