Evaporated Milk and Sweetened Condensed Milk

Evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk are specialty ingredients that have occasional uses in the bakeshop. They are generally purchased in cans, which can be stored at room temperature until opened. Both are made by removing water from milk. Evaporated milk is concentrated until it contains twice the milk fat and twice the MSNF of regular fluid milk. Sweetened condensed milk has had more water removed and has sugar added. Low-fat and fat-free versions of both evaporated and sweetened condensed milk are available.
