Actually not. Evaporated milk and condensed milk are synonymous (no
"similar" about it), they are exactly precisely in every respect 100%
identical. Sweetened condensed milk is an entirely different product.
When a recipe calls for sweetened condensed milk evaporated milk or
condensed milk will not work, and vice versa.
