EVAPORATED MILK

Product Description:
Evaporated milk is made by heating fresh whole milk until 60% of the water evaporates. It is U.S. Type 1 and is fortified with Vitamin D.

Pack/Yield:
A 13-ounce can of Evaporated milk yields 13 2-tablespoon servings, or 1 2/3 cups.

Storage:
Store evaporated milk off the floor in a cool, dry place.

Refrigerate opened evaporated milk in a tightly covered container. Use within 3 to 5 days.

USES AND TIPS:
Undiluted evaporated milk can be used as a lower-fat alternative to heavy whipping cream in sauces, soups, and gravies.

Evaporated milk can be diluted with an equal amount of water and substituted for fresh milk in recipes such as breads, cakes, soups, gravies, sauces, mashed potatoes, and custards.

Evaporated milk is not the same as "sweetened condensed milk" and should not be substituted in recipes.
