Evaporated Milk Has Brown Tint

RE: Evaporated Milk Has Brown Tint By nora (Guest Post) I have found that evaporated milk if it start's to go bad, you can tell by shaking the can as the milk begins to thicken. If it does not shake well through it out. And yes different companies the color of the milk is different.

I have found evaporated milk is usually a deep cream color, so to me the brown indicates that it has deteriorated. Maybe you could call the company's # on the can?

The heat from the summer in there can be very extreme with it shut up. My canned milk turned that color from the heat. I've sense changed things around.

It varies in color from one brand and can to another! Posted on 11/20/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Evaporated Milk Has Brown Tint By Kaelle (337) Contact It should be perfectly safe to use. I dont use evap that much and am always a bit shocked each time I see the color. I always expect it to be the color more or less of cream and it isnt. The fact that more than half of the water has been removed and the time/temperature involved in sterilizing it makes it darker. It is hard to know how brown you think it looks. You can kinda get an idea of the color on this pic: http://www.verybestbaking.com/products/carnation/evap/default.aspx Safeway is reputable, there have been no recent recalls and it is not past the date so it should be fine. If you still feel uneasy about using it then you are only out a 50 cents to a dollar as that is the the sales price this time of year. If your gut is telling you to not use it then don't use it.
