Evaporated milk is unsweetened tinned milk with about 60% of its water removed, leaving a creamy, slightly caramelised liquid. One metric cup (250 ml) of evaporated milk weighs around 265 grams or 9.35 ounces. It is used in fudge, pumpkin pie, tres leches cake, and savoury sauces where extra richness is wanted without the sugar of condensed milk.

A standard tin holds around 410 g (about 1 1/2 cups), and recipes often call for part of a tin. Weighing in grams gives consistent results and stops you adding too much or too little liquid to a custard or pie filling.

Evaporated milk is milk reduced by about 60% in volume, so it is much thicker and richer than regular milk. To use evaporated in place of milk, dilute with an equal part water; to use milk in place of evaporated, gently simmer to reduce by half. See what 1 ounce of milk is in cups.

Powdered and evaporated milk both concentrate milk solids, but powder is fully dehydrated while evaporated milk keeps about 40% of its water. Reconstituted powdered milk can stand in for evaporated milk by mixing 1 cup of powder with 1 1/2 cups of water for a close match in richness. See what 1 ounce of powdered milk is in cups.

Evaporated milk is unsweetened reduced milk, while sweetened condensed milk has heavy added sugar. The two are not interchangeable: swapping evaporated in for condensed needs added sugar, and the other direction adds sweetness the recipe may not want. See what 1 ounce of condensed milk is in cups.

Evaporated milk is reduced cow's milk with no added sugar, while tinned full-fat coconut milk is plant-based and far higher in fat (around 20%). They are close in weight (265 g vs 240 g per cup); coconut milk swaps in 1:1 for a dairy-free result, with the trade-off of a coconut flavour and a richer body in sauces and bakes.
