Skim Milk Freezes at a Higher Temperature Than 2%
Categories: Dislikes
I just made a shocking revelation when I tried to fix a bowl of cereal.
As of late, my refrigerator has been rather bare, so as usually occurs, some things start to freeze. That being said, unaware, I reached into the refirgerator to grab a carton of milk.
I then poured my bowl of cereal, and lifted the milk carton to pour into my cereal… oddly, nothing occurred. I looked, and it appeared to be completely frozen.
So I threw it away and looked in the fridge once again. There was another carton of milk, completely unfrozen.
Upon further examination, I realized what was going on. The milk that froze was skim, whereas the unfrozen milk was 2%.
Quite strange.





The reason behind this treason is me.
Bitch, approved!
It’s because of the fat in the 2%. Skim has a higher water to fat ratio and therefore freezes and a higher temperature than 2%
Odd, I never would have expected it to be the only discernible difference between the two milks.
Did you mean to say, “Skim milk freezes at a LOWER temperature than 2%”?
I sure didn’t!
