using evaporated and/or condensed milk?
There are a few small cans of evaporated and condensed milk in my
pantry, and I've never before used either to cook anything, truly. Most of the time, I usually give away the few cans I do have to the yearly USPS (postal) food drive. Sometimes, I come across recipes that use the stuff, which is why I have the few cans in my pantry. But, I can't think of any of those recipes right now. Most of them were for desserts, IIRC. What simple and quick recipes can anyone recommend for evaporated and/or condensed milk? Google is definitely my friend, but I wanted to ask here first. Please note that I usually cook for no more than two people. TIA. Sky |

I don't drink milk, and only really use it for cereal. More often than not, even the ultra-pasterized stuff spoils before I use the whole container. So I use evaporated milk in those quick and easy recipes that call for milk. I just mix it with about equal parts water, and it's fine for almost any sort of cooked dish. And it seems to last forever in the cupboard. |

I never use condensed (sweetened) milk for anything so can't help you there. Easy to find quicky dessert recipes using it though. If you look on the Carnation website they might have recipes to interest you. |

[snip] > What simple and quick recipes can anyone recommend for evaporated and/or > condensed milk? [snip] Sweetened condensed milk is just the thing for key lime pie. Evaporated milk is the cupboard substitute for anything that calls for milk. You can dilute it with water 50-50 to approximate milk or use it as it is for a richer effect. Examples: on oatmeal, undiluted; for creamed sausage (biscuits and sausage) partially diluted; for mac 'n cheese undiluted; for scalloped potatoes undiluted (I think this is a particularly good use -- better result than regular milk); mixed with chicken broth it makes an excellent fried chicken gravy. These are just the things that I remember using it for recently. -aem |

Make a pot of tea. Put some condensed milk in a container. Slosh it
from one container to another with some distance between them. Add some sugar. That's the way they drink tea in India. skyhooks wrote: > There are a few small cans of evaporated and condensed milk in my > pantry, and I've never before used either to cook anything, truly. |

Please note that I usually cook for no more than two > people. TIA. > Key lime pie. This one includes directions for making the graham crust, but you can use a purchased crust with a lot less hassle. A whole pie is a lot for two, but since the milk and the store-bought crust keep for ages in the pantry, I keep ingredients around for last-minute dessert. Key Lime Pie Recipe courtesy Joe's Stone Crab Recipe Summary Prep Time: 40 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Yield: 1 (9-inch) pie User Rating: 5 Stars Graham Cracker Crust: 1 paper-wrapped package graham crackers (1/3 of a 1 pound box) or 1 cup plus 2 1/2 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs 5 tablespoons melted unsalted butter 1/3 cup sugar Filling: 3 egg yolks 2 limes, zest grated (about 1 1/2 teaspoons) 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk 2/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (if you get Key limes, use them: otherwise use regular limes) Topping: 1 cup heavy or whipping cream, chilled 3 tablespoons of confectioners' sugar For the graham cracker crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch pie pan. Break up the graham crackers: place in a food processor and process to crumbs. (If you dont have a food processor, place the crackers in a large plastic bag: seal and then crush the crackers with a rolling pin.) Add the melted butter and sugar and pulse or stir until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of the pan, forming a neat border around the edge. Bake the crust until set and golden, 8 minutes. Set aside on a wire rack. Leave the oven on. For the filling: Meanwhile, in a electric mixer with the wire whisk attachment, beat the egg yolks and lime zest at a high speed until very fluffy, abut 5 minutes. Gradually add the condensed milk and continue to beat until thick, 3 or 4 minutes longer. Lower the mixer speed and slowly add the lime juice, mixing just until combined, no longer. Pour mixture into the pie crust. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the filling has set. Cool on a wire rack, then refrigerate. Freeze for 15 to 20 minutes before serving. For the topping: Whip the cream and the confectioners' sugar until nearly stiff. Cut the pie in wedges and serve very cold, topping each wedge with a large dollop of whipped cream. Dawn |

If you need whole milk for a recipe, evaporated milk and water, 1:1, makes whole milk. Need to check prices to see if cost effective, but at least you won't be tossing a barely used quart of whole milk. |

Thanks everyone for all the responses about this subject. I'm not
surprised I've never used this stuff because I always have milk (and cream) on hand. But, I will have to give it a go when I make some desserts. Thanks again.
