EGGS, MILK, ETC. QUESTION

This is a first for me - I am currently working on placing an order for powdered eggs, milk and buttermilk - I have looked at the Walton Feeds list - What is the difference between the Instant milk and the Morning Moo milk? Which, in your opinion, would be the best for storage - Which would be the best if you did not have electricity? Also, what is a #10 can?

Thanks for any help.....

Shooting Star, Morning Moo, hands down winner. Wonderful milk and once chilled, you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between it and "fresh milk." Adjusting the milk/water ratio, you can have a regular, 2 percent, or creamy taste. Can't praise it enough.

As far as not having electricity, you can mix smaller amounts, and not mix more than will be used right away. Storing below ground, or in a creek, cistern, or water supply will also help chill it.

Number 10 can is approx. a gallon. ;)

I've ordered from Walton Feed before, to get dry powdered milk (NOT instant, which I don't like), and have found it to be high-quality and long-lasting. To me, the flavor is superior with the non-instant variety, and it also works much better in baking. It is harder to mix (doesn't just 'melt' in water), but we always use a blender so it's no prob for us. I so much prefer the non-instant over the instant, that I would rather battle getting the non-instant mixed without electricity (egg beater would work) than buy instant.

As far as Morning Moo, keep in mind that it's a whey-based milk substitute. I know a lot of people like it, but it's nutritionally different than milk. (Although a couple of years ago, I did buy a can of Morning Moo Powdered Milk --actual milk -- so maybe that's what splicerswife is referring to. If so, I'd like to know where she gets it -- I'd love to have some!)

Whatever you decide on, believe me, it's great to have milk in (relatively) non-perishable form!

Here's some info on Morning Moo. Much more information at the link.

........................................One of the big questions we get about Morning Moo concerns it’s nutritional qualities compared to powdered milk. Morning Moo only contains half the calcium of powdered milk but on the plus side is loaded with Vitamin A. A cup of reconstituted Morning Moo contains 25% of the RDA of this vitamin. As vitamin A is one of the more difficult vitamins to get from your food storage, having Morning Moo on hand is an excellent way of getting this nutrient. Morning Moo is also fortified with Vitamin D. Except for the lower calcium content in Morning Moo, this drink has equal or better nutrition than powdered milk.
Morning Moo, containing a lower lactose level than milk, is a safe product to drink for many people who are lactose intolerant.........................................

I have been ordering from Emergency Essentials. Their service is good, orders arrive promptly, they have good product selection, the prices are reasonable, and the shipping and handling prices are a flat rate based upon the cost and not the weight of what you order:

When shipping to the contiguous 48 states, the shipping charges for the entire order are as follows:

$0 to $60 = $6 S&H
$60.01 to $120 = $9 S&H
$120.01 and above = $12 S&H

Walton has good products but the shipping charges make it expensive.

You can order this directly from Blue Chip (the manufacturer). Their site seems to be down at the moment... www. MoosMilk.com.. but the phone is 800-878-0099.

I am looking at a price sheet from 2/05, #10 cans were 17.99, 25# pail $65.

They have a LOT of other stuff.

Sweet dairy whey, non-fat milk solids, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil (contains one or more of the following: canola oil and/or soya oil), corn syrup solids, sodium caseinate, dipotassium phosphate, propylene glycol monostearate, mono and Diglycerides, lecithin carrageenin, Vitamin A, Vitamin D

If you are looking for smaller quantities, you might consider checking your local grocer's for Sacco brand buttermilk powder. I have had it stay good for months and months (over 18 months) on the pantry shelf. I suppose if I tried to store it inside of another container it might last longer---we end up using it and buying more.

Also, for small quantities, consider www.KingArthurFlour.com for whole powdered eggs.

We can find Parmalat shelf-stable milk at WalMart in quart containers.

We love Morning Moo. My kids would rather have that than regular milk. We order it direct from Blue Chip also, although the website I know is www.bluechipgroup.net When we have ordered it, it's always been under $100 for a 50 lb bag and that includes shipping. I haven't checked the price lately though.
