⚠️READ THIS!!⚠️
Take the proper safety measures to safely cook the can of condensed milk. If you don't take the following measures, the can is at risk of exploding.
-Before cooking the condensed milk can inspect it and make sure it is not dented or have any damages.
-Always be VERY careful, make sure to cover the can with water completely.
-Let the can cool down completely in the water before removing it and opening.
-Don't knock, shake, or jostle the pan containing the hot can of sweetened condensed milk.
If you don't feel safe with these options, please make the dulce de leche using the oven method, or the stove top method without sweetened condensed milk.

@@PiesandTacoshey there, I know I am late to this video, but your pressure cooker does have a High Pressure option. Have a look at 2:21 and you’ll see just under the - + symbols is the pressure adjust. It automatically sets itself to high, but press that button once and it changes to low pressure. I have the same brand cooker and I LOVE it. Trying your method right now for the first time.
I am an Argentinian that no longer live in Argentina, and I used to miss the dulce de leche so much, so a few years agi started doing the 3 method, and I boil the can for three hours and it is perfect... we all enjoy it at home!
When I found out from a Hispanic colleague that his family just boils the cans, I was incredulous. When I finally tried it and saw the result, it was like magic to me. To this day, its the only way I make dulce. Great video!

@@dragons8822 Sure! 1) Buy a can (or cans) of any brand of sweetened, condensed milk. 2) Peel off the label(s). 3) Boil a pot of water with at least 1-1/2" of water above the can height. 4) Once boiling, turn it down to a simmer. 5) Drop the cans into the pot and boil for about 2-to-2-1/2 hours...or, 3-1/2 hours if you like it really dark. 6) At the end of the cooking time, turn off the heat and allow the cans and water to cool to room temperature. 7) Find a can opener, a spoon, and spoil yourself! It's really that easy. (BTW - There are instructions for doing this all over the Internet. Good luck!)
This is great! Thank you for showing the different ways AS well as their consistency!! So important to know the max thickness achieved from each of the ways xx

I looove your channel and I loooove doce de leite! Recently I was told that boil the cans would make some BPA from inside the can walls mix into the DdL, so as became a little bit worried about that. Having said that, eating this way once in a while won’t make you any harm besides the calories. And making it like in the first exemple would prevent the BPA thing.

Great video😊very informative.. My mom used to make it in a pot of boiling water, she would boil for 2 hrs and let it cool in the water just like you do .. Question for you . Guy I work with tells me these cans have a plastic lining to prevent rusting . Can that plastic melt and get into the dulce de Leche.. last time I made it, didn’t really get any indication of plastic or anything . Just wanted your thoughts on this. Great video once again ..

What can you do with the over method if you don't have/use foil?
I use a pressure pot on a stove and spent 2,5 hours cooking my dulce on high heat, but the texture is not as thick and dense as yours. It's texture is like sweet condensed milk but golden in color. I really want to achieve that luscious texture of yours.

I use a double boiler to make mine. Safe with no chance of exploding. Set a timer for every 30 minutes, check water level and stir. This allows me to make sure that I have the consistency and color that I want.
Argentinian Dulce de Leche recipe: 1 liter of whole milk 220 grams of granulated sugar 2 grams baking soda natural vanilla extract. Put the milk, sugar, and baking soda in a saucepan. Stir constantly over low heat for about 90-120 minutes. Add the vanilla extract after the dulce de leche cools.
I have a regular pressure cooker, the one you put on the stove. How does it work with that kind of cooker? Thanks
Once you have let the can cool all the way down in the water can you take it out and not open it? Can you leave it in your pantry until you need it at a later time? Or do you need to use it right away?
i like it a bit more runny and warm.
How long will this keep in refrigerator?
Hi, wich is the temperature You use in the oven method?
i’m sorry if it sounds dumb, can you boil the can in rice cooker to make this?

Can you do this with homemade condensed milk and using a mason jar in cooker.
Your pressure cooker doesn’t have a high setting? I have the same, and yes, it has high (default) on manual. All pressure cooking settings (buttons) except dessert and rice is high pressure.
How long does it take in slow cooker
Also if you mix of can of condensed milk with a can of evaporated milk on a pot mix it almost none stop fo about 30 minutes while it boils in a medium/low depending on the stove, you can make dulce de leche/manjar blanco.
At what temperature the oven is set.

I tried the boiling method, kept the can off the bottom of the pot and kept the water well above the can. let it go for 3 hours then gave it a couple hours to cool off after that and got a light dulce de leche, just make sure the can isn't dented at all and check on it regularly over the cook time and you should be fine. I kept an instant read food thermometer and checked it and kept the can between 195-205 F and had no problems.
I have a couple of questions. Can you make more then 1 can at a time in the pressure cooker? After you make it is it shelf stable in the pantry until you are ready to use it? And does it always need to be cooked on its side?
