  • About
As its name suggests, some of the water content has been removed from this to achieve twice the concentration of ordinary milk. This rich, thick and creamy liquid can be used in cooking, reconstituted with water or as it is. Because it has been subjected to high heat it has a slightly cooked flavor. A pudding made with evaporated milk will have a rather pronounced “creamy” flavor.
