Comments on: Homemade Dulce de Leche https://www.closetcooking.com/dulce-de-leche/ Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

At what temperature would I bake this? I saw Bobby Flay do the oven method years ago, but couldn’t remember it. Thanks!

I do 3 cans at a time. Remove label and glue. I put on a plate or something to keep from scratching Teflon pan. Natural release.
I use on my ice cream, macchiatos, kids love for apples!!!

I do like the comment about doing this in a crock pot over low setting. I may just have to take the plunge and try making dulce de leche myself.
thanks Kevin and everyone for all the sharing of ideas.
Cheers from Canada :0)

I can't tell you how many recipes I've got in my list from here to try and how many I've already tried and love!

Anyway, I do this in the crock pot in the can… no worries about boil away liquid. Just put the can in the crock pot as you do on the stove, covered with water and cook on low for 8-10 hours. Perfect dulce de leche!

Just make sure that the cans are completely covered in water and when they are done let them cool down before opening them.

I am assuming this is the procedure:

1. Put can in cooker.
2. Fill the cooker with water upto an inch over the can.
3. Place on stove at high heat.
4. Bring water to a boil.
5. Close the lid with the "steam release cap" on. Turn the heat down to a simmer.
6. Let it stay on the stove for 30-40 minutes.

I hope this is it. Any precautions I need to take?

Thanks.
