Oh, I recognize the brand. I almost ordered the blue cheese powder for popcorn snack topping last year and did a search on the company. Looks great to me but have zero personal experience.

I've stocked Peak brand milk powder, a goat, and a buttermilk for the last dozen years I keep in the freezer. Rarely buy fresh milk as we don't use it much. Mostly substitute yogurt.

We are making a crustless quiche, frittata, once a week now. Using up tons of fridge veg and slice very thin potato or sweet potato as the 'crust', heating up our small cast iron on the stovetop, searing/steaming the potato with a lid on, then adding veg, then into the oven after adding more veg and 5 eggs/milk/cream. Good for dinner then a next day breakfast or lunch.

Me too on the thin sliced potatoes! I have been layering the potatoes with sliced shallots or onion and baking them first till tender and then adding other veggies, egg/cream mix and lots of cheese. I also love adding thyme. I got some freeze dried kale and used that a few times as well. Each quiche is sort of winged on what I have and or feel like using. All have been good and joyfully eaten! Having lost too much weight due to my PH treatment drugs, I don't have to worry about using lots of full fat ingredients. Love having leftovers for a quick breakfast!!

Kudos to winging it. I have asparagus ends I slice very thin, and some chard. So miss shallots but have to let that go for now. (can't get them). I do have some leeks I need to use. And some mushrooms. Plan was to make a frittata this morning but we had plenty to snack on....so tomorrow with be the 'kitchen crispers drawer' frittata.

I've never had any experience with either the Hoosier brand or powdered heavy cream. I'm mostly responding to bump up and see if anyone else will pop in and know about either. I'm sorry - no opinions or recommendations other than why not give it a try? I think having a shelf stable source of milk - and cream, is a good idea. I was homebound for a very long time and though I never used it, having powdered milk was something of a comfort. Doesn't take up much room, and it's there if you need it. Of course, the moment I tossed it, I needed it for a recipe, but that's another story!

By the way, I'd never thought of using blue cheese powder on popcorn. Will have to give it a try. Yeah, I have some, thought it interesting, and it has been : )

Anyone else familiar with dry/powdered cream or Hoosier Hill Farm?

I went ahead and ordered both dry milk and cream. Figured I would at least try them. I have quite a few bread recipes that call for dry powdered milk. And having it on hand along with evaporated milk will come in handy when I run out of fresh these days. It will be mostly used for using in soups and bread. Because my area is now the states hot spot for Covid; my daughter is trying to limit shopping trips to every other week. ;)

I must have missed this thread when it originally was started. No matter, I would not order unless someone had actually used their products and does not seem as if anyone had til nowAnd items like sour cream, butter, and cream sound like a good way to add flavor to items that may not need added liquid? Not to mention nice to have on hand. How long are these items stable? I would think indefinitely, but do they solidify after a year or so? I just in the last year started keeping some dried mild powder. I feel like I bought buttermilk powder years ago,, used it a couple of times, forgot about it and it had clumped up after several months. Being alone, may not be practical for me, but I am very interested in hearing more.

I add desiccant packets to most dehydrated products that I have, and some of them (like tomato powder) I transfer to glass containers that I can vacuum seal.

Powdered buttermilk can be bad for clumping, but if it is in a good container (not cardboard) and has desiccant packets, it stores well enough.

The powdered cream has a "best by" date of one year, and the powdered buttermilk is supposed to be good for two years.

I think if you stored the powdered cream in the fridge or freezer it might keep longer, but that partly defeats the purpose, since I don't have a lot of storage in those areas. Also, I'm more likely to use it if it is on a shelf in plain sight instead of buried in a freezer.

Thank you Lars, great info. I had wondered about freezing. Just me now and I have a large freezer, so very feasible for me to freeze it. Although, as you say, out of sight, out of mind. I am going to mull over what I want, but I think I an going to order from them. Large amounts of product was my main hesitation.
