Hey Cappy, you fergit where google's at?


What you see as "condensed milk" is sweetened condensed milk, that is
milk with a bunch of sugar added, cooked slowly until it loses about 60%
of its water. It's very thick, about like pudding. Evaporated milk
doesn't have any sugar added, it's just had the water taken out. It's
much thinner than SCM, more like thick milk.

SCM is used for making desserts, evap usually where you'd use regular
milk or cream.

Don't mix them up, that would **** you off.
