Evaporated Filled Milk
What it is
This is a canned dairy product made from milk and vegetable oil. It has been concentrated by removing about 60% of the water. The addition of vegetable oil changes its texture and flavor compared to traditional evaporated milk. It is a shelf-stable product that does not require refrigeration until opened.
How people cook with it
Evaporated filled milk is commonly used in cooking and baking to add richness and creaminess to dishes. It can also be used as a beverage base.
- In creamy soups
- For baking cakes
- In coffee drinks
- As a sauce base
To use, simply open the can and pour the desired amount into your recipe. It can be added directly to hot or cold dishes. For baking, it often replaces regular milk or evaporated milk to contribute a different mouthfeel. When making sauces or gravies, it can be heated gently to thicken. It is also a popular addition to beverages like coffee or tea for added body and a smoother taste.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional evaporated milk, which is pure cow's milk, evaporated filled milk contains added vegetable oil. This results in a slightly different flavor profile and a richer, sometimes silkier texture in finished dishes. The fat content and composition are altered by the inclusion of the oil.
Who it is for
Home cooks and bakers often choose this product for its unique properties in recipes.
How to keep the rest
Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place. Once opened, transfer any unused milk to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate. It should be used within a few days of opening.
