Key Food Evaporated Milk

Transform your baking and cooking with Key Food Evaporated Milk, a pantry staple that brings rich, creamy texture and concentrated flavor to countless recipes. This shelf-stable canned milk has had about 60% of its water content removed through a gentle heating process, resulting in a thicker consistency and more intense dairy flavor than regular milk. Key Food Evaporated Milk serves as an essential ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes across many cuisines. In American baking, it's indispensable for creating silky pumpkin pies, fudgy brownies, and creamy custards. Latin American cooks rely on evaporated milk for tres leches cake, flan, and dulce de leche, while it's equally popular in Southeast Asian desserts and Vietnamese coffee preparations. The concentrated milk adds richness to soups, casseroles, and cream sauces without the risk of curdling that fresh cream might pose when heated. For best results in baking, substitute evaporated milk cup-for-cup in recipes calling for cream, or mix it with equal parts water to replace regular milk while adding extra richness. Its extended shelf life makes it perfect for emergency baking situations or when fresh dairy isn't available. Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place, and once opened, transfer any unused portion to the refrigerator where it will keep for several days. Whether you're making homemade mac and cheese, creamy mashed potatoes, or traditional holiday desserts, evaporated milk delivers consistent results and enhances the overall taste and texture of your favorite recipes.
