Hello All:

I heated a cup of milk for one minute four days ago, then forget it in
the microwave.

I discovered that I now have a yogurt-like substance.

Is this edible? Is it yogurt? Could it be toxic?

Thanks,

Deguza

I'm no expert, other than making a gallon of yogurt a week. If it smells OK, I'd
try a little taste. Maybe you've discovered a delicious new culture.

much milk to use up. Commercially, of course, they add an agent to
induce the same affect.

Just setting out to spoil? Doesn't sound quite right....

Yah, that's how ricotta ("re-cooked") is made.

Weren't we all?

And the milk didn't spoil first? My brother lives on Saipan and I'm
*quite* familiar with the heat and humidity....

Home use as well. Rennet is certainly available as a curdling agent, as
is a simple acid like lemon juice.

I suppose if you call sour milk "spoiled" it certainly did. It
spoiled/soured to the point of separation. I suppose there was a
different standard then for what was dangerous to use, as well as many
more strains of bacteria that we need to be careful of today. Rennet
wasn't as available on the islands then, and it took a lot of lemon
juice to do the job, as well as adding the taste to the cottage
cheese. Works great for faking butter milk, though.

We raised chickens too. After the eggs hatched, the ones that were
left, which didn't hatch, always went to my mother-in-law, who
considered them a delicacy. Yuck.

Baahhhh-lut!!!!!!!

Samantha, who was on Guam in the mid-70s and learned not to buy dyed
eggs -- or, for that matter, to ask what was in the delicious
Filipino/Korean food she was eating and who STILL missed Chicken Kelaguen
