Elgin’s A Dairy Town Did you know Elgin was once famous for milk? Not just milk, but butter too. Over 6,000 cows lived on hundreds of farms all around Elgin. Their milk was shipped by railroad to many cities, including Chicago. A lot of the milk was also used in factories in Elgin to make butter, condensed milk and cheese. Between 1880 and 1910 Elgin was the biggest dairy town in the Midwest. Have you heard of Gail Borden? That’s right! Elgin’s public library is named after Gail Borden. He was a business owner in Elgin. Gail Borden invented a way to take fresh milk and put it in tin cans, making it last longer. He took most of the water out of the milk and replaced it with sugar. It is called condensed milk and you can still buy it at the grocery store. It is very thick and sweet and can be used in lots of delicious recipes like this one. Visit eaglebrand.com to see more. Why did pioneer farmers make their extra milk into butter? Well, ﬁrst of all, butter is delicious! But the real reason is that Pioneer farmers didn’t have refrigerators. With no refrigerator, milk will spoil in a day or two. (Have you ever discovered a carton of milk at school that was left out of the refrigerator?!) But, if you turn that milk into butter, it will last for months without a refrigerator. Turning milk into butter is a way to use up extra milk. • What do you call it when a cow jumps on a trampoline? - A Milkshake! • How do farmers count their cows? - With a cow-curator! • What time is it when a cow sits on your hat? - Time to get a new hat! • What do you get when you cross a cow and a duck? - Milk and Quackers! • Why did the cow cross Park Street? - To get to the Elgin History Moooo-seum! • What’s a cow’s favorite high school sports team? - The Elgin Marooooooons! 360 PARK ST.

CONDENSED and DESICCATED MILK, Milk Is a Bulky Product, Expensive to Transport, and Very Suscep
CONDENSED AND DESICCATED MILK, By LEVI WELLS, Dairy Inspector, Dairy Division, Bureau of Animal Industry. INTRODUCTION. Milk is a bulky product, expensive to transport, and very suscep- tible to contamination, which in a short time renders it unpalatable. In its natural state it contains al^out 87 per cent of water, which is a comparatively worthless constituent. ' Efforts to reduce the water content of milk, leaving the solids in ; a more concentrated form without destroying their food value, and at the same time improving the keeping qualities, have resulted in developing the manufacture of both condensed milk and desiccated milk or milk flour. The condensing processes now used reduce the volume of milk to one-half or one-fifth its original bulk, and if the product is carefully sterilized or preserved with cane sugar and sealed in air-tight containers it becomes easily transportable and keeps for long periods in any climate. The desiccating processes now perfected remove practically all the ■water in milk, leaving a dry powder soluble in water. In the manu- facture of this product whole milk is reduced to about one-eighth, and skimmed milk to about one-eleventh the original volume. By this means the volume is reduced to a minimum, and the keeping quality, particularly of dried skim milk, is superior. CONDENSED JVIILK. Eemoving a portion of the water from milk, leaving a product of good keeping quality which may be restored to its normal consistency without injuring its natural flavor, is a problem that has been studied for many years. It is claimed that during the first half of the last century foreign inventors evaporated a part of the water from milk, and, with the addition of cane sugar, made what was then known a& condensed milk (see Scientific American, export edition, July, 1905).

The DUEL USE of the VCRHTOB for Conde.Nsing Milk and Pasteurizing Ice Cream Mix
The DUEL USE of the VCRHTOB for Conde.nsing Milk and Pasteurizing Ice Cream Mix By G. H. WILSTER Oregon State System of Higher Education . Agricultural Experiment Station Oregon State College Corvallis Station Bulletin 430 july 1945 FOREWORD The method of pasteurizing cream under vacuum was first studied by the Oregon Agricultural Experimtht Sta- tion in 1938, the results being presented in Bulletin 368. The experimental use of this method of pasteurization for ice cream was studied by the Station in 1939.The operation was so successful that it became routine practice in the experiment station laboratory and its pilot plant. In 1942, stimulated by the deficiency of nonfat dry milk solids, the dairy research staff saw the possibility of adapting the Vacreator* vacuum pasteurizer for condens- ing milk.After repeated trials, the necessary adjustments were determined.A systematic study was made.The method developed is fully outlined herein. It is now apparent that in addition to manufacturing with this equipment ice cream of delectable flavor, excel- lenttexture, and irreproachable sanitaryquality,the whole field of milk concentration is opened to new pos- sibilities.Owners of this type of equipment who have access to an adequate supply of milk may economically evaporate it if such a procedure is desirable. The results from this research suggest not only revo- lutionary developments in the ice cream industry but the possibility of new methods of preparing milk solids for other uses in the dairy manufacturing industry.

The removal of water from milk gives an advantages in reducing storage and transport costs, ease / convenience in use and increasing shelf life. Concentrated milk is further reconstituted by the consumer with water, to give a similar composition of fresh milk. It is generally produced as a 3:1 concentrate containing approximately 10 - 12% milk fat and 36% total milk solids. Introduction Condensed milk is an important source of milk solids in confectionery, bakery products, ice cream, concentrated yoghurt, choclates, bakely products and other newer kind of food mix preparation. It may be made from whole, skimmed, or reduced fat milks depending on the consumer need and requirements. Uses of Condensed milk 1- Condensed milks are mainly used for reconstitution into sweet milk drinks. 2- Condensed milks are very commonly utilised in the preparation of tea or coffee. 3- They are also used in the ice-cream preparation. 4- They are used in candy and confectionary products. 5- They are frequently used in prepared foods in various ways and form. History of condensed milk Invented by Gail Borden in the early 1850s, canned condensed milk proved invaluable as a military ration in the 1860s.

No Churn Ice Cream by Cleo Coyle
Cleo’s No Churn Ice Cream Chocolate, Vanilla, Coffee "No churn" ice cream appeals to me. It's easy to make, economical, takes little room in my freezer, and does not require reading appliance instructions (huzzah). Unfortunately, there is a problem with the most common recipe for "no churn" ice cream, one I have worked to remedy. Why I Revised the Popular "No Churn" Ice Cream Recipe "No churn" ice cream replaces the churning of air into the cream with whipping the air into the cream before freezing. This does a good job of keeping the end product as soft and fluffy as churned ice cream. But there is a problem with the most common "no churn" recipe I've seen shared across the internet (i.e., cream + sweetened condensed milk). It produces an ice cream that's far too soft, melts too easily, and leaves a waxy aftertaste on the tongue from too much butterfat. In short, it produces a product like ice cream but not as good. So I began experimenting with that ubiquitous no churn recipe and have come up with an improved version (IMO, of course). Why is it better? A few reasons... (1) Adding evaporated milk to the mix before freezing creates a final product that has a much cleaner, more ice-cream-like texture, eliminating that waxy butterfat coating on the tongue. It also... (2) Allows very fine ice crystals to form, which make the final product colder in the mouth and gives it a more stable form in the dish or on your cone.

It is most often found in the form of sweetened condensed milk (SCM), with sugar added. Sweetened condensed milk is a very thick, sweet product which when canned can last for years without refrigeration if unopened. The production of condensed milk is obtained starting from raw milk that is clarified and standardized and is then heated to 85–90 °C for several seconds. This heating process destroys some microorganisms, decreases fat separation and inhibits oxidation. Some water is evaporated from the milk and sugar is added until a 9:11 (nearly half) ratio of sugar to (evaporated) milk is reached. The sugar extends the shelf life of sweetened condensed milk. Nowadays condensed milk is used in numerous dessert dishes in many countries all over the world. Fat Determination in Condensed milk Hot solvent extraction process with SER 158 Series can be summed up in 5 steps, for a fully automatic process completely unattended: STEP 1 STEP 2 STEP 3 STEP 4 STEP 5 IMMERSION REMOVING WASHING RECOVERY COOLING During IMMERSION the sample is immersed in boiling solvent.
