Preparing condensed milk at home is not at all difficult. Treat yourself and your loved ones to a fresh delicacy of the highest quality.

Nourishing, tasty, just melts in your mouth! It contains all childhood dreams! But not only kids are in love with this product, we all easily turn into pooh-poohs when it comes to... condensed milk. It is used to lubricate cake layers for your favorite waffle cake, which more than once saves any housewife when guests are on the doorstep or when you want to pamper your family.

This product is used in creams or as a filling for cakes and dried fruits, for homemade sweets. Condensed milk is such a popular product in making desserts that it is worth paying attention to it. Or rather, we will talk about how to cook condensed milk in a jar at home. Let's break some housewives' spell of fear before cooking condensed milk. For the purity of the experiment, everything I say will be done right there, before your eyes.

The main thing is not to explode =)

For convenience, I will divide the whole process into 3 stages:

Preparing for cooking condensed milk;
The process itself;
Summary and important conclusions.

Yes, everything is in order. All we need is a tin of condensed milk, a plastic bag, a saucepan and water. We can start!

Getting ready to cook condensed milk

There is a traditional sticker on the can, we don’t need it. Yes, and it will peel off on its own and it will not be entirely pleasant to watch how it colors the water and what it turns into. We remove it and wash the jar or wipe it with a damp cloth to remove dust.

But here is a secret that I got from my mother. She complained more than once that the glue that held the sticker could not be washed off with any water, but during the cooking process it melts and settles on the walls of the pan. What to do? It's simple! We put a clean plastic bag on the jar, and the pan is protected!

And here, girls, pay attention! It is worth taking a large, or better yet, deep saucepan. The main rule for cooking condensed milk is that water should ALWAYS cover the jar. Therefore, in order to calmly do other things all this time, and not stand over the pan and constantly add water to it, you need a spacious container.

And one more point why it’s right to do this. If you constantly add cold water and lower the temperature in the pan, this will affect the quality of the finished product. Let's protect ourselves from surprises. Of course, if we see that there is critically little water left in the saucepan, and the cooking is still long enough, then it is better to add without hesitation. But then it is better to pour in water that is about to boil.
So, we place the jar vertically. I poured water 5 cm above the can of condensed milk. This allowed me not to add water for the entire 3.5 hours of cooking.

Cooking process

Place a saucepan with a can of condensed milk on the fire. Turn up the heat and wait for the water to boil. All this time the pan is covered with a lid. This creates the necessary conditions for preparing the product.
The water began to boil. Without removing the pan from the heat or removing the lid, simply reduce the heat. Let's make it very small. The process of simmering the product has begun.
From this moment on, the cooking time for condensed milk is measured.
So, my jar, weighing 380g and with a milk fat content of 8.5%, was cooked for 3.5 hours. This is the ideal time to prepare it.

Advice! Condensed milk takes a long time to cook and you can easily forget about it. Just get carried away with cleaning and miss the time when it will be the consistency we need. We get out of the situation using an alarm clock or timer on the phone.

Time has passed, the condensed milk is ready, you can safely turn off the heat. But don’t rush to remove the jar from the hot water. Let's let them cool together. This way the milk still “arrives.” And after 1.5-2 hours, you can safely remove and free the jar from the plastic bag. Boiled condensed milk is ready!

What is useful to know for those who want to learn how to cook condensed milk

It's time to take stock. Secrets, subtleties, nuances, alternatives!

Choose quality condensed milk

Not every condensed milk is recommended to be boiled; some will not work at all. If it contains ingredients such as milk powder, flavoring additives, vegetable fats, etc., then it is not a fact that you will be able to prepare condensed milk; it simply will not thicken. Only experimentally can such milk be tested for suitability for preparing a boiled product.

Density is determined by the composition, fat content, jar volume and cooking time.

After I cooked several cans of condensed milk, I accidentally made a discovery for myself! The density of the resulting product depends directly on several factors: composition, fat content of condensed milk, volume of the can, boiling intensity and cooking time. So, the longer the milk is boiled, the thicker it turns out (of course, we are not talking about 5-6 hours, because cooking too long can also in rare cases lead to an unwanted explosion, and to check whether we are included in this number, oh, no matter how you want it).

The condensed milk in the jar should be completely covered with water

Let me remind you again! It is important! Water should be poured in advance a few centimeters above the can of condensed milk. Otherwise, if it boils away, this is a direct path to the Great Explosion in your apartment, but I’m afraid that you won’t be able to create a new way to create life, but it will help you get to know the Emergency Doctor and the person on duty at the emergency room. I don't think that's our goal right now. So let's be careful!

Cook over low heat

Do not think that the process of simmering condensed milk over low heat can be replaced by quick cooking if the fire is made larger. It's better not to get down to business if you don't have these 3-4 hours. Or put it away from the fire if urgent matters arise. Yes, this time you won’t get the desired result, but there won’t be an explosion either.

It’s interesting that many people are afraid to buy condensed milk for cooking in cans that open with a ring. But I can confidently recommend them for use. In any case, for me they behaved the same way as those that were completely sealed.

Cool the jar of condensed milk slowly

When cooling the condensed milk, take your time. Don't open the jar right away; I don't recommend adding cold water to cool it down. I definitely understood that cooling is part of the cooking process, and should happen gradually.

You can cook it in different ways, but with caution

You can cook condensed milk not only in water on the stove. There are more original and fresh recipes. For example, in the microwave, oven or in a pressure cooker and multicooker. And recently I heard about a new recipe: in a frying pan! But I haven’t tried one of them yet, but it’s interesting!
Girls! I will always be glad to hear your opinion, advice and recommendations on how to cook condensed milk in a jar at home. Your experience and what secrets you have are interesting. Share them! But not only your positive experience is interesting, but also stories that are lethal for condensed milk. Let's work on the mistakes together to uncover the golden recipe for cooking condensed milk.

Here, for example, is my contribution: the fat content of condensed milk should not be lower than 8-8.5%, a minimum of “otherworldly” ingredients, ideally: milk and sugar. And for those who make condensed milk themselves, how do you achieve the desired result in boiling it? As you can see, there are still a lot of questions. I hope that with your help we will find out all these points soon! In the meantime, look at the consequences of the sweet explosion (photo from the Internet):
