You see all these warnings that the can may explode if you try to caramelize it unopened, but my mother routinely caramelized it in the can from approximately 1925 to 1985 without an explosion. She took the label off the can, put it in large pot well covered with cold water, and boiled it for three hours, removing the can and letting it cool to room temperature before opening. After she got a pressure cooker in about 1955, she use that and cooked the can for one hour. I use a pressure cooker myself.
I'm not recommending either method, just saying my mother and I have been getting away with it for going on ninety years. Then again we both got away with smoking for quite a few years before we quit.

Yes, its quite safe to caramelise in the can as long as you make sure the water is always just about to the top of the can, and you keep it on a slow boil, not a rolling boil. Ive never had one explode.

∙ 15y agoI saw this once on the Food Network. Someone made dulce de leche (caramel sauce) by simmering a can of sweetened condensed milk. You're in luck because I found that recipe on their website: http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_23617,00.html

∙ 15y agoAn unopened can of sweetened condensed milk can be boiled to caramelise the contents. This may take a couple of hours.
It is very important to keep the water level over the top of the can during the whole of the boiling time or the can will explode. Top up the water as required.

∙ 11y agoYes. It must NOT boil dry & needs top-ups of water as it takes 2 hours (once boiling) to turn it into caramel. If allowed to boil dry it will explode & because of sugar content it is very dangerous, not to mention the tin!... Allow to cool completely before opening...

∙ 9y agoJust heat it up as slowly as possible and cook it without letting it burn, there is a trick where you leave a can in a slow cooker filled with water overnight and when you open the can in the morning you have caramel.
