Should you let an excessive amount of water evaporate as well as the can
ends up not being completely submerged, it can overheat, tear or burst,
which will not be good.
That one detail in your mind, here's the way that it is done...
Measure 1: Remove the Label
The very first thing you will have to do is remove the label and get yourself a can of sweetened condensed milk.
Measure 2: Set the Can in a Sizable Pot
Put the can on its side in a sizable pot, such as, for instance, a soup pot or Dutch oven. Should you put it right-side up, the simmering water will create the can as it cooks, which can be very irritating to a sensitive baker's ears to rebound.
Add room temperature water increases at least two inches over the very top of the can. It is essential that the can is fully submerged!
As it cooks, so be sure to check on the water level every half hour and plan to add more boiling water as needed, the water level shouldn't ever get any lower than one inch over the can.
Measure 3: Simmer
Put the pot over high heat and let it come to a simmer. Simmer the can for two to three hours, determined by how dark you are interested in getting the dulce de leche to be. The dulce de leche in the picture above was cooked for just two hours.
When the time is up, carefully remove from the hot water by means of a pair of tongs and let it cool on a wire stand to room temperature. Don't try to open the can as the hot dulce de leche may spit out due to the pressure in the can while it is still hot.
I truly love baking with it, and I Have made astonishing treats and desserts that range from Dulce de Leche Chocolate Chip Cookies to Dulce de Leche Ripple Ice Cream Dulce de Leche Cake, with Salted Macademias, and biscuits stuffed with that. It is just yummy!
