How to cook condensed milk in a saucepan

Method 1: elementary

All you need is a can of condensed milk and a large old saucepan.

Bring water in a saucepan to a boil. First, make sure that the volume of liquid you have collected can completely cover the can of condensed milk.

Remove the paper label from the can. Glue may remain on the surface and stick to the pan during cooking. That is why it is necessary to take the old container so that it is not a pity to throw it away.

Carefully immerse the can of condensed milk in boiling water. It is best to do this with tongs or a slotted spoon. The can must be stable, upside down, otherwise it will roll, bounce during cooking and make annoying sounds.

Boil condensed milk over low heat for three hours.

Important: always make sure that the water completely covers the jar, otherwise the condensed milk may explode. If necessary, simply add boiling water to the pot.

Use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove the jar from the pot and let it cool to room temperature. In no case cool boiled condensed milk in cold water and do not open it ahead of time: it may explode.

After the boiled condensed milk has cooled, open it and stir until smooth.

Method 2: natural

If you don't trust the producers of condensed milk, you can prepare it yourself, from scratch.

Ingredients

1 liter of fat milk (it is better to take homemade or store-bought maximum fat content);
450-500 g of sugar.

Preparation

Pour milk into a large saucepan and place over medium heat. Add sugar and, stirring constantly, bring the mixture to a boil.

You really need to stir constantly, otherwise the sugar will burn.

After boiling, reduce heat to low and cook condensed milk for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. Determine the readiness by the color and consistency of the dish. Drop the condensed milk on a plate: if it spreads slowly, then it is already ready. Please note that the milk will harden after cooling, so do not try to boil it too thick.

Chill condensed milk at room temperature and pour into a clean jar.

How to cook condensed milk in the oven

Transfer the condensed milk to an ovenproof dish and cover with foil. Place on a high-rimmed baking sheet or other oversized dish. Fill the second container with hot water so that it reaches the middle of the form with condensed milk.

Send the baking sheet to an oven preheated to 200 ° C. After 1–1.5 hours, remove the milk from the oven, remove the foil and stir. If the condensed milk has not reached the desired color and consistency, cover it again with foil and return to the oven. Check it every 15 minutes until it's ready. Top up the baking sheet with water if necessary.

How to cook condensed milk in the microwave

This is the fastest way to cook boiled condensed milk. But it also has its drawbacks: the consistency may turn out to be not as viscous and uniform as during long cooking. However, if time is running out, then feel free to use this particular method.

Transfer the condensed milk to a glass dish and cook it in the microwave on medium power for two minutes. Then remove from the microwave and stir.

You can do four to eight of these repetitions, depending on what result you want to achieve. True, after the fourth time, it is better to set the timer not for two minutes, but for one, so as not to miss the moment of readiness.
