I use it in my coffee. I have some recipes using evaporated milk that I'll post for you in a few minutes!

Isn't there a way to "bake" it in the oven and then use the resulting brown, rich, milk in your coffee, too? My mind is completely stalled out today and I can't think of what it's called. I remember reading that it's dangerous to just put the can in the oven, as some recipes say to do. Instead, put the milk in a pie plate, cover it, and bake it at a low temp for a good amount of time. Is this ringing a bell for anyone??

In coffee is good

Use it in your mashed potatoes in place of milk. You will be surprised at the improvement it makes

 

[jennyema]

Evaporated milk is a good substitute for cream or half and half.

Isn't it condensed milk that is baked or boiled in the can into some kind of dessert?

 

[PA Baker]

You're right! It's sweetened condensed milk. Thanks, Jenny! I still haven't thought of the name of it though. I think my mind is as foggy as the weather today!

This is what my mother would always do. I never ate mashed potatoes with milk or cream.

You can use evaporated milk as regular milk in baking -- just dilute it.

i saw a show with that recently, the one with the guy who looks like one of the rolling stones, and drives around with his trailer made up to look like a giant toaster.
he popped a coupla holes in the top of the can, put it in a water bath and heated it for a few hours low and slow, until it got thicker and sweeter. i think it was called dulce leche or something like that...

add it to your oatmeal or cream of wheat when cooking, really adds flavor. I like it in coffee too, reminds me of my dad.
