Description
Condensed and evaporated milks are shelf-stable dairy products that undergo different processing methods. Evaporated milk is created by removing about 60% of the water content from fresh milk, resulting in a thicker, creamier product that retains a mild flavor, making it versatile for cooking and baking. It can be used in sauces, soups, and desserts. Sweetened condensed milk, on the other hand, is made by evaporating milk and adding sugar, which gives it a rich, sweet flavor and a syrupy consistency. It's commonly used in desserts like pies, cakes, and as a sweetener in beverages. Both products are popular in various cuisines for their convenience and ability to enhance the texture and taste of recipes.
