Evaporated milk is a delicious and versatile ingredient that is a kitchen staple for many. But what do you do when you have some left over and don’t want to waste it? Is freezing an option? Let’s delve into the subject and find out if and how you can freeze evaporated milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indeed, evaporated milk can be frozen. It’s a brilliant way to ensure no leftover milk goes to waste and you have some on hand whenever you need it. This applies to both opened and unopened cans, although there are some details to bear in mind, especially concerning texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, freezing evaporated milk can lead to a change in its texture. It may separate into watery and creamy parts, which can make it grainy or lumpy. However, this can often be remedied with a vigorous shake or whisk after thawing, and it’s still suitable for most recipes, especially where the milk will be cooked or blended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While technically you can, it’s not recommended to freeze unopened cans of evaporated milk as the can could crack or rupture due to the expansion of the milk as it freezes. It’s best to transfer the milk into a freezer-safe container first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can freeze evaporated milk for up to 6 months. While safe beyond that, the quality may start to decline and the texture changes may become more noticeable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
