Why isn’t evaporated milk a gas?!


Question: Why isn’t evaporated milk a gas!?
Answers:
Unsweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk are the same thing!. To make it, 60% of the water in the milk is removed by evaporation in a high-heat environment!. The heat causes some of the natural sugars in the milk to caramelize, so it is often slightly darker in color than plain milk!. While the original evaporated milk was made from whole milk, it also comes in nonfat and low fat varieties!. It is sometimes used in baking, but is most often suggested as a lighter version of cream for soups and coffee drinks!. It is shelf-stable, so it's a great thing to keep around the house in case a recipe calls for it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It was once and then it has been cooled back to a liquid again!.

Thats my guess anyway!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

This is just a guess!.!.!.!.Evaporated milk is the stuff that is on the sides of the pan when milk is boiled, so it once was a gas and the gas landed on a solid and became a liquid again!. But it did change form at one point so they can now call it evaporated!. From what I understand, this process takes out about 50% of the water from the milk!. I hope this is the right answer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Because its condensed of course!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'm not Positive, but i'd say they heat the whole milk till it steams,,, Eventually what is left is your evaporated milk product!.!.!.!.I don;t think it has anything to do with ever being a "GAS"!.!.!.!.enjoy your milk!!!!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

cool question!.!.!.i dont know the answer though ;-)Www@FoodAQ@Com

I suppose that is the name what gives the wrong description!.

Is not that the milk has been evaporated, but rather some of the water content of it, making it thicker and more like single cream!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

funny i guess that would be serious but actually it is part of the milk that is left after the gasses of water are gone and what is left basiclly condensed milk would be another name for the same thing!? that is my thinking anyway!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Good question !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'm not sure about this because i don't know the details, but i think the reason "evaporated milk" isn't a gas because evaporated milk is milk heated enough just to evaporate THE WATER!. Not the milk!. Milk (and this is the part I'm not sure about) probably needs to be heated hotter then 100 degrees (that's the temperature water evaporates at)!.

The other thing I'm not sure about is what temperature they actually heat the milk at, and if milk can ever BE a gas!.

So my answer to your question is, "evaporated milk" isn't MILK that had been evaporated, just the WATER in the milk (around 60% of water is evaporated)

wikipedia helped me with this answer!.!.!.i had never heard of "evaporated milk" before - seeing im only 14!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Think of what milk is-- it's water with various compounds and chemical dissolved into it!. When it evaporates, the water evaporates away leaving the chemicals!.
