Evaporated Milk and Condensed Milk are exactly the same. But *Sweetened*
Condensed Milk is a whole nother story.

I think biggest difference is that condensed milk has sugar added

Technically, you are correct. But, the term "evaporated milk" is almost
always associated with non-sweetened condensed milk and the term "condensed
milk" is almost always associated with sweetened milk, there being hardly
anyone labeling un-sweetened condensed milk as such.

A fun little ditty from a website about Carnation evap milk:

"A little lady from North Carolina had worked in and around family dairy
farms since she was old enough to walk, with hours of hard work and little
compensation, and when canned Carnation Milk became available in grocery
stores (1940's or 50's?) she read an advertisement offering $5,000 for the
best slogan/rhyme beginning with "Carnation Milk is best of all . . ." She
said, 'I know all about milk and dairy farms . . . I can do this!'

She sent in her entry and about a week later, a black limo drove up in front
of her house. A man got out and said, "Carnation LOVED your entry so much,
we are here to award you $1000, even though we will not be able to use it."

Here is her entry:

Carnation milk is best of all,
No tits to pull, no shit to haul;
No buckets to wash, no hay to pitch,
Just poke a hole in the son-of-a-bitch!"

Hey Cappy, you fergit where google's at?


What you see as "condensed milk" is sweetened condensed milk, that is
milk with a bunch of sugar added, cooked slowly until it loses about 60%
of its water. It's very thick, about like pudding. Evaporated milk
doesn't have any sugar added, it's just had the water taken out. It's
much thinner than SCM, more like thick milk.

SCM is used for making desserts, evap usually where you'd use regular
milk or cream.

Don't mix them up, that would **** you off.

Nope. If it doesn't say "Sweetened" then it is not. Evaporated Milk and
Condensed Milk are EXACTLY the same... in modern times which term is used
depends on where in the world one is.

Now you're being stupid, and you know you're being stupid, proven by the fact
that you're too embarrassed to include the fercocktah sentence in question.
Btw, neither of your two above phrases are properly constructed sentences, both
are sentence fragments. I take it English is not your primary language. Just

Well here in Oz, the two types are mostly different in sugar
content and "other" (water?). According to the compositions of the
Carnation formulations [best viewed in fixed font such as Courier]:

Protein Fat (Total) Sugar Balance
Evaporated milk (g/100ml)

"Light & Creamy" 8.4 1.6 11.6 78.4
"Creamy" 8.4 8.6 11.6 71.4

Condensed milk (g/100g)

Carnation Sweetened 8.5 8.1 55 28.4

Incidentally, the "Light and Creamy" claims to be "98.5% Fat Free",
which may be right based on wt/wt if the S.G. is about 1.07. ;-)

Cheers, Phred.

Sheldum the idiot fails to recognize is that while technically possible
to have condensed milk that is the same thing as evaporated, no US
manufacturer produces such a thing. What you seen in the stores as
condensed milk is sweetened condensed.

evaporated milk
This canned, unsweetened milk is fresh, homogenized milk from which 60
percent of the water has been removed. Vitamin D is added for extra
nutritional value. It comes in whole, lowfat and skim forms; the whole-milk
version must contain at least 7.9 percent milk fat, the lowfat has about
half that and the skim version 1/2 percent or less. As it comes from the
can, evaporated milk is used to enrich custards or add a creamy texture to
many dishes. When mixed with an equal amount of water, it can be substituted
for fresh milk in recipes. Evaporated milk is less expensive than fresh milk
and is therefore popular for many cooked dishes. It has a slightly
caramelized, "canned" flavor that is not appreciated by all who taste it.
Canned milk can be stored at room temperature until opened, after which it
must be tightly covered and refrigerated for no more than a week. When
slightly frozen, evaporated milk can be whipped and used as an inexpensive
substitute for whipped cream.

sweetened condensed milk
A mixture of whole milk and sugar, 40 to 45 percent of which is sugar. This
mixture is heated until about 60 percent of the water evaporates. The
resulting condensed mixture is extremely sticky and sweet. Unsweetened
condensed milk is referred to as EVAPORATED MILK. Store unopened sweetened
condensed milk at room temperature for up to 6 months. Once opened, transfer
the unused milk to an airtight container, refrigerate and use within 5 days.
Sweetened condensed milk is used in baked goods and desserts such as
candies, puddings, pies, etc.

A properly constructed key lime pie gets its beautiful pale greenishness
from carefully stripped and slivered lime zest. If the egg yolks are
given enough rest time with the lime juice, they don't ooze.

We have friends in San Diego whose lemon tree produces lovely half-tart
lemons with incredibly aromatic peels. Mostly, I make delicious pale
yellow lemon pie.

Unless you put an awful lot of zest in, it won't measurably affect the
color.

That sounds pretty good. Do you just follow the key lime basics only
with lemon, or is it another recipe altogether?
