However, in this recipe there are some particularly important safety measures you should keep in mind when using the pressure cooker. Following are the Do’s and Don’ts you should keep in mind.
DON’TS
-Do not use a dented or a damaged Can.
-Keep in mind that the Can should Not come in direct contact with the walls of the pressure cooker.
-Last but not the least Do Not open the Condensed Milk Can while it is hot as the contents may still be under pressure.
DO’S-
-Place the can of condensed milk in a stainless-steel steamer basket.
- Fill the water level above the can in the pressure cooker.
- Keep the Can in a lying down position.
If you prefer you could transfer the condensed milk in a glass mason jar, secured tightly with a lid and place it in your stainless-steel steamer basket lying down. The stainless-steel steamer basket is used so that the can or the glass jar does not come in direct contact with the extremely hot walls of the pressure cooker.
Total Time- 60 minutes
Active Time -5 mins
Yields – 1 Can (14 ounce)
INGREDIENTS
- 1 Can Sweetened Condensed Milk (14 ounce)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Prepare the pressure cooker by adding the steamer basket.
- Place the can, on its side (not standing) in the steamer basket. Do not put it in direct contact with the hot base or sides of the pressure cooker. Alternatively, you could pour the condensed milk in a glass mason jars with a tight seal.
- Fill the pressure cooker with enough water to cover the can. Make sure it is fully submerged while not exceeding the "maximum capacity" of the pressure cooker.
- Seal the lid. Pressure cook for 25 mins. Let the cooker naturally release. This might take 15 minutes.
- Do not remove the can from the cooker or attempt to open it while it is warm, there is still pressure inside the can. You want to allow the can to cool in the water before handling it.
- When the can is completely cool, open the seal and transfer the Dulce de Leche in a container.
If the Dulce de Leche is too stiff, simply warm it with a splash of milk to soften it to the desired consistency.
