Hello,
Maybe this isn't the right place to ask, but I couldn't find a food spoilage forum anywhere.
I drink a glass of milk warmed for 2 minutes in the microwave on full power everyday before I go to sleep.
This time, it came out looking a lot like a yogurt: solidified and chunky.
The milk was as liquid as usual before I put it in the microwave (it wasn't chunky like it is when it's spoiled), and I microwaved it for 2 minutes on full power ... the same thing I do every night, with the same microwave. But this is the first time this has happened.
I tasted the milk, and I didn't think it was spoiled ... it may have tasted a bit sour (but that might be psychological, since I was *looking for* the sour taste. I've never tasted spoiled milk but some people say "if it's spoiled you'll naturally spit it immediately because of the taste" .. and that didn't happen.
I thought maybe something was wrong, so I dumped out the solidified milk and re-did the same thing. It came out like yogurt again.
Strange.
I haven't intentionally made, yogurt before, but I've read that you need to heat it up and then cool it down .... I didn't cool it down at all, it just came out like that directly out of the microwave after 2 minutes, both times.
Is this unusual ? and, does it mean my milk is spoiled ? Is it safe for me to drink it ?
