Evaporated milk is milk that has had roughly sixty percent of its water removed through heating, producing a thick, shelf-stable, unsweetened concentrate that is then canned and sterilized. It differs from condensed milk chiefly in that condensed milk is heavily sweetened with added sugar, while evaporated milk contains no sugar and must typically be diluted with water before use as a milk substitute. It is widely used in baking, in coffee, and as a base for dishes such as pumpkin pie filling and certain custards and desserts, particularly in regions where fresh milk storage was historically less reliable.
