RE: Milk storage, was: glass vs plastic

[Guest guest]

Take a look in the juice aisle in the supermarket. You will find small glass

jars of juice, usually apple juice. If you don't want the juice that's fine

but the small jars work great for milk. I take a gallon of milk and divide

it

into the smaller jars putting all but one in the back of the fridge to keep

them

cool. The one in front is for using now. When it is empty I dig out the

next.

When all are empty they all get filled. Works well for us but then we only

have one eight year old. We keep the " in use " jar on the door so it's easy

to

get to.

Thanks for the good suggestion! I was a bit annoyed when Trader Joes

switched its organic

juices to plastic jugs -- we used to get them in nice glass jars. I keep

thinking that I need

opaque ones, but I guess inside the frig is dark most of the time, and as

long as I don't leave

milk out in the room too long, that little amount of light won't have much

an opportunity to

damage the vitamins even in clear jars.
