About Evaporated skim milk

Evaporated skim milk is skim milk concentrated by removing much of its water through evaporation, then commonly heat-treated and packaged. It is a shelf-stable liquid with a pale, creamy appearance, though it is thinner and less rich than evaporated whole milk. The concentration and heat treatment give it a cooked-milk note; it is not the same product as sweetened condensed milk.

It is used in drinks, sauces, soups, baking and desserts, either directly or diluted according to the preparation. Products may be canned or sold in other shelf-stable packaging, and formulation can vary by brand, including added stabilizing ingredients. The skim designation indicates that fat has been largely removed, distinguishing it from evaporated milk made with higher-fat milk.
