Useful Uses for Whey!!

 

  1. Use it in any bread or bread type product that calls for the addition of water or milk.
  2. Freeze it for later use. I like to make whey ice-cubes to freeze it in easy to use pieces.
  3. It can be used in stews and soups in place of some broth or water.
  4. Can be used in place of milk when making mashed potatoes.
  5. Can be used in homemade smoothies and frosties.
  6. Can be used to pour over chicken feed, cat food, or dog food for extra pet treat!
  7. Diluted with water, it makes an excellent feed for your plants and helps your compost when added to it.
  8. Use it to make ricotta cheese. It is the base of ricotta. I have not tried this yet, but it will happen soon.
  9. Use it as a meat marinade...great when combined with pressed garlic and onions.

Perhaps one day, hidden away from the interference from sassenach, this skill will be useful. We did follow the instructions...some things worked better in writing, than in actuality. We finally found something that worked in the end... We found a good shell to use to hold the oil. You are supposed to use one that can be supported on the base, so the oil will not run out...and is slightly fluted on one end to hold the wick. The wick was supposed to be any type of fibrous natural substance. You are supposed to be able to use any type of oil or fat. We tried first to use plant fibers and some yarn... We tried Canola Oil first, because I had some in the cabinet that I wanted to get rid of... We filled the shell with the canola oil...I did steady it using a box lid from a jewelry gift box. W
