Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between evaporated and condensed milk?
Evaporated milk is unsweetened concentrated milk. Condensed milk has about 40-45% sugar added, making it thick and very sweet, used primarily in desserts.
Can evaporated milk replace regular milk?
Yes, mix equal parts evaporated milk and water to approximate whole milk. Use undiluted for creamier results in recipes that call for milk.
Why does evaporated milk have a slight tan color?
The heating process that removes water causes slight caramelization of milk sugars (Maillard reaction), giving evaporated milk its characteristic cream color and subtle cooked flavor.
