Coconut milk question

[tantek]

I bought a few brands of cans of coconut milk for during my Whole30 ( never bought it before!) So far, tried the one brand - seemed fine in my coffee. I shook it well before opening and kinda swirled it around before pouring each time.
I just tried opening a different brand. When I shook it, no sound. Pierced it open and the milk looks solid inside! So uh, is it still good? Still has over a year until the listed expiry date. Will it become liquid again so I can have it in my coffee? What do I do???

It's fine. Dump out the entire contents into a large bowl and whisk it. The water and fat will recombine.

Ok great I can do that. What do you store it in after dumping it? Just a regular juice pitcher?

I usually put it in a snap lid Tupperware.
