Can condensed milk be substituted for evaporated milk?

Condensed milk is not a good substitute for evaporated milk. Although they are both concentrated milk products, they have different consistencies and flavors. Condensed milk is much sweeter than evaporated milk because it contains added sugar. It is also thicker and has a caramel-like flavor. Evaporated milk, on the other hand, is unsweetened and has a milder flavor. It is also thinner than condensed milk.

If you are looking for a substitute for evaporated milk, you can try using whole milk or half and half. Either of these will provide a similar consistency to evaporated milk, but they will not be as sweet. You can also add a small amount of sugar to either of these to achieve a similar sweetness to evaporated milk.

Here is a table summarizing the key differences between condensed milk and evaporated milk:

| Feature | Condensed Milk | Evaporated Milk |

|---|---|---|

| Sweetness | Sweet | Unsweetened |

| Consistency | Thick | Thin |

| Flavor | Caramel-like | Mild |
