Freezer help

[cornerstone]

I know you can feeze flour butter and beaten eggs also yeast for at least 1 year, can you also freeze easy yo yogurt baking powder and baking soda does anyone know, also milk powder because it goes into a lump no matter what i do and i end up throwing it out.

Thanks.

You can freeze flour to kill any weevils etc. in it before storing it at ambient, sealed in ziploc or mylar bags with oxygen absorbers.

Why would you want to freeze baking powder or baking soda? They are inert chemicals, which don't to my knowledge go off or lose efficacy.

Easy-yo yoghurt powder is a rip-off and you can make yoghurt with a cheap tub of live yoghurt and then add whatever flavouring you want, it's very easy.

Milk powder becomes lumpy because it absorbs moisture from the air so either use it quicker, buy smaller pack, or use something else.

milk powder will need to be repackaged in Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers. Have you consider condensed or evaporated tins of milk?

yes i use evaporated because the shops are not close, i think i might try watering it to get a better taste,or more for cereals

In that case it might be worth putting the powder in its original container into the biggest ziplock you can find, and keeping a few moisture absorbers in there with it. That might be a low-cost, low-hassle way to stop it clumping.
