Evaporated Skim Milk

Evaporated skim milk is a shelf-stable dairy product made by removing approximately 60% of the water content from fresh skim milk. As a result, it has a thicker consistency and a slightly caramelized flavor than regular milk. This low-fat milk alternative is ideal for those who are conscious of their calorie and fat intake, yet still want to enjoy the creamy taste and nutritional benefits of milk. Commonly used in a variety of recipes and cooking techniques, evaporated skim milk can be easily reconstituted by adding water or used directly as a concentrated ingredient in baking, sauces, soups, and smoothies. It enhances the creaminess and richness of dishes without the additional calories and fat of whole milk or cream, making it a popular choice for health-conscious home cooks.

Evaporated Skim Milk FAQ
Cooking with evaporated skim milk can be a game changer, especially for those trying to manage their calorie and fat intake. One often blunder people make with this ingredient is confusing it with sweetened condensed milk, which is a sugar-sweetened product and not a suitable substitute. Another common mistake is using it in the same quantity as regular milk when it should be diluted, unless the recipe specifically calls for the concentrated form. To get the most out of evaporated skim milk, you can add an equivalent amount of water to reconstitute it to the consistency of fresh milk, or use it as it is if you're aiming for a richer, creamier result. A lesser known fact about this ingredient is that it can even be whipped into a light dairy topping in its undiluted form, something that regular skim milk can't do.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does evaporated skim milk expire?
Unopened cans of evaporated skim milk can last for as long as 12 to 18 months past the date printed on the can when stored correctly. Once opened, evaporated skim milk should be transferred to a tight-sealing, non-metallic container and kept refrigerated where it should maintain its quality for about 4 to 6 days. Never consume milk directly from the can once opened as the metal may interact with the milk which may make it spoil faster. Freezing evaporated milk is not recommended as it changes its texture and appearance.
How do you tell if evaporated skim milk is bad?
The easiest way to tell if evaporated skim milk has gone bad is to smell it. A sour, off-putting or rancid smell is a clear indicator that the milk is spoiled and should not be consumed. The texture of the milk may also change, it can be lumpy or thicker than normal. If you notice any mold or discoloration, do not consume the milk - these signs indicate that the milk is spoiled.
Tips for storing evaporated skim milk to extend shelf life
• Always store evaporated skim milk cans in a cool, dry place, away from heat or light sources. • Once opened, pour the remainder into a nonmetallic, airtight container and keep it refrigerated. • Label your container with the date you opened it to keep track of when it might expire. • When possible, avoid buying cans that have dents, rust, or signs of damage as this might compromise the product’s shelf life.
