Kind of a follow up to my stainless vs aluminum milk totes....I noticed that all the pasteurizers seem to have aluminum pails in them. (including the one I just bought!)

After all the negative responses to aluminum milk totes, I was wondering if all of you change them out to stainless steel pails?

Speaking of pasturising!

Two gals were talking at lunch one day. The one looked at the other an said, "Gal your skin is like butter, mine is always dry and scaly, what are you doing?" Her friend replied that she was taking milk baths. "Where do you get that much milk?" she asked her friend. "Oh the dairy down the road brings it to me, even pours it into the bathtub for me, all 35 gallons". The gal goes home and calls the dairy. A southern gentleman answers the phone and she asks him to deliever her 35 gallons of milk. The southern gentleman asks her what on earth she wants 35 gallons of milk for, she replys' "to take a milk bath". The southern gentleman gets directions to her house and then asks "Do you want that milk raw Ma'm ........or do you want it Past-ur-ise?" .............................................she replys.......................No...,,,,,that's OK, if you can just pour it as high as my titties, I will splash it on my face. :)

This joke is much funnier in person, you drawal the word pasturise into Past Your Eyes?....

Tracy, I use a stainless pot on the stove, not only do most pasturisers not hold enough milk, but you have to check their temp so much that it is just eaiser to use nesting kettles. Vicki

I agree that the pot on the stove is faster and more sure and use that when we have a lot of milk that needs done the alumimum bucket that also came with our pasteurizer probably isn't the best choice but we still use it at times, we do remove the milk from it as soon as its cool and store it in glass or plastic....ron

Question. Why pasturize milk? There is nothing it milk that will hurt you untill you contaminate it.

Well Butch, if you want to follow a CAE prevention program for raising kids, you have to pasteurize the milk!

I don't want to chance the unpasteurized milk on my infant....when she is older I probably won't bother.
