Can I use regular milk instead of evaporated milk?
Simmer whole milk gently until it has reduced by about half: the result is very close. Unreduced milk will make pies and sauces runnier.
Can I use evaporated milk instead of cream?
In soups, sauces and custards, yes: it adds body with much less fat. It only whips when well chilled, and the foam does not hold for long.
A US cup of canned evaporated milk weighs 252 g according to the USDA, a US tablespoon about 16 g and 100 ml about 107 g.
It is milk with much of its water cooked off and no added sugar. Do not confuse it with sweetened condensed milk, which is far thicker, sweeter and heavier: the two are not interchangeable.
