This is not a good thing to do &#8211; and one look at the warning on a can of sweetened condensed milk will tell you why: the can can explode. This can happen when the water level in the pan gets to low, when\u00a0the burner you&#8217;re using has a hot spot below your can, or when any other situation arises in which excess heat builds up in that can. I&#8217;ve used the method with good results &#8211; but it&#8217;s not worth the risk of stepping out of the kitchen and returning to a big mess of sweetened condensed milk everywhere, not when there is a safer method that is just as easy to do and that is even a bit faster. <\/p>\n<p>This method for making dulce de leche uses a double boiler. Simply open a can of sweetened condensed milk and pour it into the top of a double boiler, where the bottom is already filled with a few inches of simmering water. With a double boiler, you don&#8217;t need to worry about the water evaporating while you cook, and since there is no pressure from a sealed can, there is no risk of an unexpected explosion (yes, it really does happen).<br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/bakingbites.com\/2010\/01\/how-to-make-homemade-dulce-de-leche\/#more-4136\" class=\"more-link\">(more&#8230;)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most frequently recommended ways to make Dulce de Leche is to put a can of sweetened condensed milk into boiling water and cook it for a period of 2-4 hours.
