How to measure evaporated milk

Evaporated milk is concentrated, so it is a little heavier than fresh milk.

Because a cup measures volume rather than weight, the most reliable way to measure evaporated milk is with a digital kitchen scale. If you are working from cups, keep your technique consistent every time so your results are repeatable. For more, see our guide on baking by weight versus volume.

Substitutes for evaporated milk

1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk = 9 oz heavy cream + 3 oz whole milk (Food Network)
Matches the higher fat and concentrated dairy flavor. Best when evaporated milk is providing richness (sauces, custards).
1 cup evaporated milk = 1 cup half-and-half (Food Network)
Half-and-half has more fat (~12% vs ~6.5%) but similar texture; works as a 1:1 swap in most savory and dessert applications.

Evaporated milk conversions: FAQ

Why doesn't a cup of evaporated milk weigh the same as a cup of water?

A cup measures volume, not weight. Evaporated milk is denser than water (252 g versus 237 g per cup), so the same volume has a different weight. Weighing in grams is the most accurate way to measure it.
