Milk is so versatile but something I don't enjoy. I hated the little bottles of milk we had at school, it used to make me feel sick with an inch of cream at the top of the bottle. But I know how important milk is in the diet for strong bones and an important source of calcium in the diet. I do drink it in tea and coffee and if I have cereal for breakfast but I use most of my milk in sauces and if I haven't a lot of fresh milk then I use dried milk. Marvel was my first choice but recently I have been buying Tesco's dried milk, but when shopping last week they only had the Tesco Value pack or Marvel so as I was watching the pennies we decided to get the value ...  Read the complete review

Value skimmed milk from Tesco. Now I know why, in some circles, this type of product is known as 'coffee whitener' - because that's effectively all it does. It makes dark-brown coffee go light brown and takes away a little of the bitter taste, but adds little in terms of flavour. (Little that's good, that is.) Skimmed milk powder. So who buys this stuff?

Packaging The dried skimmed milk comes in a box that just screams value, it is mainly red and white and displays the value logo on the front of the box. There's not a lot ...  Read the complete review

I like many other people forget to buy milk sometimes and for a lot of years I have bought this dried milk to store in a cupboard for if I need it, my wife now has a bread maker and uses this product for in the recipe for the machine and so it has more than one use at home. It is powdered and very easy to mix with cold water, it is perfectly fine to put some from the packet into coffee as an instant milk but for best results mix it with a little cold water first into a paste and then add the rest of the water and keep stirring continuously until the powder has dissolved, it can be kept in a fridge as a normal milk. Only downfall is it not suitable ...  Read the complete review
