Turning condensed milk into toffee ?
How long do you boil a can of condensed milk to tun it into toffee ?
You don't pierce the can, do you ? Or do you ?

Yes I know, but I've got two tins of condensed milk in my cupboard, so I'd rather use what I've already got

However, if you do boil the tin he said you MUST pierce it otherwise it coild explode and spray boiling toffee everywhere. |

but my sister who made toffee all the time for bannoffee pie once had a tin explode the contents all over her kitchen and the pan was all misshapen put her off the boiling method for ever. Its easier and faster to just make it by pouring in the pan and stirring it does not take long at all The only thing is with the boiling in the can you can just keep the unopened can for a long time and it wont go off. |

Phil Vickery, the chef who's married to Fern Britton not the rugby player, said on This Morning on Monday that this is how he does it - takes minutes as opposed to the hours of boiling a tin.

Cobblers. 1 1/2 to 2 hours in a pan of boiling water. Don't pierce the tin. Sorted.

If you put it in a pan of water and boil it and there is a hole in the tin, once the contents of the tin start boiling, they'll come out of the tin and into the water.
Basic physics, that. |
