How do you keep milk from spoiling?

Add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to the milk pot. Heat the pot over high heat until the milk boils. Refrigerate the milk or keep it at room temperature. The baking soda will prevent it from spoiling for a long time, even if kept outside the refrigerator.

Can you cook with curdled milk?

Yes, you can use sour milk for baking. While you may not want to drink a glass of spoiled milk straight up, baking is a great way to use the stuff. The extra acidity the milk acquires as it ages can actually yield added flavor in baked goods, like cakes or muffins. Dan Barber thinks cooking with sour milk is delicious.

Why does milk go off so quickly?

Unrefrigerated, milk can very quickly go off due to a proliferation of bacteria. Continual and rapid temperature shifts can breed bacteria such as lactococci and lactobacilli. Milk spoils when bacteria converts the lactose into glucose and galactose, producing lactic acid.
