blake Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 you can get vacuum sealed milk in cartons that will not go off so long as you don't open the carton, no matter how hot it is. well maybe not a million degrees centigrade, but at least it won't go off in normal climactic conditions. can you get packs of vacuum sealed butter that also won't go off?

anywebsite Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 It's not vacuum sealed milk, it's been heat treated (at a higher temperature than the usual pasteurisation) to sterilise it. Not sure that'd work well with butter & it gives milk a funny taste too. You can get tins of ghee. You can get tins of butter in other countries too, never seen them here.

blake Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 I see that there is such a thing as powdered butter and canned butter but seems to be not so easy to get hold of it. Or at least Amazon doesn't stock it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anywebsite Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I'm not sure there's much need for it anyway? Butter lasts a while, it's pretty cheap & I've never seen a shortage. Ghee is clarified butter, with the milk solids removed, that lasts longer, you can buy it in cans & it's popular in India. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blake Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 it might last a while here but not when every single day of the year is 30 degrees and you might not have a refridgerator. the only place I have found that will ship it, is only the USA from there I would have to re-ship it and it would end up costing minimum $20 for 12 oz. or 340 grams.

tzijlstra Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Blake, firstly can I ask what sort of trip you are planning, a lot of rather obscure questions coming from your way! A lot of the stuff you are asking for I recognise as things that long-trip sailors would take along on ocean crossing and the like. I can't find a website that sells this sort of stuff - but I do know three shops in the Netherlands where I would look for this sort of gear - unfortunately I don't know any in the UK! But there are specialist shops out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcoblog Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Have you tried NASA? It's the first place I'd have a word with for this kind of specialised food product ... most of their pantry's in a vacuum anyway. Failing that, give Buzz Aldrin a ring (not on Tuesday mornings though ... it's the day he goes to collect his pension). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
