I remember my mom scalding cow's milk and then would simply lift the milk skin off with a spoon and throw it out. I know it's wasting a bit of breastmilk, but in the end you get most of it frozen safely. And as Catherine said, if baby is getting most of milk from the "source," then it doesn't matter too much in the grand scheme of things if the frozen milk is deficient.
