Boiled condensed milk is a very tasty treat that is loved by both children and adults. The scope of its application in cooking is quite extensive: boiled condensed milk is added to cream for cakes and pastries, they are filled with wafer rolls and famous cookies in the form of nuts, and they are also used simply as an additive to tea or coffee. You can buy "Varenka" in stores, but its taste will only remotely resemble that of boiled milk from childhood. A product cooked at home from a can of whole condensed milk is obtained much better and better.

How to cook condensed milk in a pan.
Remove the label from a can of whole condensed milk and place it in a deep pan, laying it on a barrel. Pour in so much water that it covers the jar completely with a margin. Put the pan on the stove, bring the water to a boil, and then cover and reduce the temperature to a low value. Cooking time for boiled condensed milk depends on how thick the product you need to get at the exit. If you want it to slightly thicken and acquire the color of caramel, then you need to cook condensed milk for 2 hours. If the milk has a thick coffee-colored consistency, then the cooking time is 3 - 3.5 hours.

The most important nuance: during boiling, water boils away, despite the fact that a low temperature is set. In no case should you allow the edges of the banks to be exposed. This threatens to explode and spoil the product and utensils. Therefore, if you notice that the water has decreased in volume, you will need to add hot water to the pan so that there are no temperature differences.
Remove the cooked boiled condensed milk from the pan and cool naturally or under running cold water. After that, the bank can be opened and used for its intended purpose.

How to cook condensed milk in a slow cooker.
By analogy with the process of boiling condensed milk in a pan, remove the label from the can before starting. At the bottom of the crock-pot, place a silicone mat or an ordinary small kitchen towel. Lay the jar in a barrel and fill the bowl with 3-3.5 liter water so that the water covers the condensed milk with a margin. Then set the mode to "Steam" or "Boiling". Immediately, as soon as the water boils, transfer the multicooker to the "Extinguishing" mode and cook for 2-3 hours under the closed lid, depending on the desired consistency of the finished product.
After the time has passed, drain the water from the bowl, remove the jar and cool before opening.
