⚠️READ THIS!!⚠️
Take the proper safety measures to safely cook the can of condensed milk. If you don't take the following measures, the can is at risk of exploding.
-Before cooking the condensed milk can inspect it and make sure it is not dented or have any damages.
-Always be VERY careful, make sure to cover the can with water completely.
-Let the can cool down completely in the water before removing it and opening.
-Don't knock, shake, or jostle the pan containing the hot can of sweetened condensed milk.
If you don't feel safe with these options, please make the dulce de leche using the oven method, or the stove top method without sweetened condensed milk.

Amazing!!! By far the perfect video I watched for dulce de leche making ❤️ Thank you!

@@PiesandTacoshey there, I know I am late to this video, but your pressure cooker does have a High Pressure option. Have a look at 2:21 and you’ll see just under the - + symbols is the pressure adjust. It automatically sets itself to high, but press that button once and it changes to low pressure. I have the same brand cooker and I LOVE it. Trying your method right now for the first time.

[@alynkabear]

I am an Argentinian that no longer live in Argentina, and I used to miss the dulce de leche so much, so a few years agi started doing the 3 method, and I boil the can for three hours and it is perfect... we all enjoy it at home!

[@shyamdevadas6099]

When I found out from a Hispanic colleague that his family just boils the cans, I was incredulous. When I finally tried it and saw the result, it was like magic to me. To this day, its the only way I make dulce. Great video!

[@dragons8822]

Could you be more detailed in explaining how the recipe is so that we could try it ? Would love to try this, Thanks for your information !

[@shyamdevadas6099]

@@dragons8822 Sure! 1) Buy a can (or cans) of any brand of sweetened, condensed milk. 2) Peel off the label(s). 3) Boil a pot of water with at least 1-1/2" of water above the can height. 4) Once boiling, turn it down to a simmer. 5) Drop the cans into the pot and boil for about 2-to-2-1/2 hours...or, 3-1/2 hours if you like it really dark. 6) At the end of the cooking time, turn off the heat and allow the cans and water to cool to room temperature. 7) Find a can opener, a spoon, and spoil yourself! It's really that easy. (BTW - There are instructions for doing this all over the Internet. Good luck!)

The good thing about the stove method is that you don't have to stir.. just check the water hehe been doing it for 2-3 years😊

I looove your channel and I loooove doce de leite! Recently I was told that boil the cans would make some BPA from inside the can walls mix into the DdL, so as became a little bit worried about that. Having said that, eating this way once in a while won’t make you any harm besides the calories. And making it like in the first exemple would prevent the BPA thing.

not to contradict what you said, but ive made dulce de leche on the stovetop before, keeping the can submerged for 40 min and boiling and it worked out just fine. it was equally thick and dark, it caramelized nicely

[@PiesandTacos]

I’ve even tried doing an hour and a half before and it wasn’t thick enough 🤷‍♀️ I’ve literally experimented with all times boiling. Unless it’s under pressure 40 min just isn’t enough in my experience.

[@noisy99_]

I use a pressure pot on a stove and spent 2,5 hours cooking my dulce on high heat, but the texture is not as thick and dense as yours. It's texture is like sweet condensed milk but golden in color. I really want to achieve that luscious texture of yours.

Your pressure cooker doesn’t have a high setting? I have the same, and yes, it has high (default) on manual. All pressure cooking settings (buttons) except dessert and rice is high pressure.

[@sherryherran8546]

Also if you mix of can of condensed milk with a can of evaporated milk on a pot mix it almost none stop fo about 30 minutes while it boils in a medium/low depending on the stove, you can make dulce de leche/manjar blanco.
