Caramel. One of those things we all LOVE to eat, but is literally one of the messiest things ever to make on the stove. And good luck rinsing those pots/pans/utensils. At least you'll get muscles after doing it since it takes some serious scrub work.
All you really need to achieve an amazing caramel is one thing: a can of sweetened condensed milk. And the Instant Pot is going to see to it that you have absolutely ZERO mess or hassles to deal with during the clean up.
And as if making this in the Instant Pot wasn't the best part, the things you can DO with this know no limitations. Have it Dulce de Leche style with some sea salt sprinkled on top - dip apples, cakes and pretzels in it, make a caramel pie, serve it with ice cream. Whichever you choose, you cannot go wrong because...CARAMEL!

I always enjoyed dulce de leche as a child. When made with the cans produced from Mexico, they have a very special taste. We used to remove the label from the can and boil the can when we made beans. When the beans were done, the dulce was done. This is so much faster for sure. Love it!

Years ago (late 70's!!) in NYC my Cuban Friend invited me to the BIG Family Sunday Dinner. I'll never forget the first time I tasted Dulce de Leche at her Mother's Home. After Dinner, Mrs "R". brought a large Saucepan right off the Stove & it had 12 Spoons laying all around the Pan. She then grabbed a trivet and set that Pan right in the middle of the Table. Mrs "R" didn't speak a lot of English but she noticed my puzzled face so tapped my arm & gestured, "Watch me". She reached over, grabbed a spoon, and gave it a deep twirl in the pot. Then she handed me the spoon like a Popsicle stick & gestured for me to take a large Lick. Everyone followed suit and each took the nearest spoon and we all sat around the Table, laughing and licking this incredible concoction. I swear it was THE most delicious thing I had ever eaten. I couldn't believe it. I was invited to the Family Dinner for many Sunday's over the next few years and Mrs "R" always made sure she made a large Pot of my favorite treat for, assuredly, her most appreciative Guest!

Actually, my mother has been making this for 40 years in a pressure cooker. I just made 4 cans this weekend. Just peel the label off, lay the unopened cans on their sides, on a strainer inside the pressure cooker, cover the cans with at least one inch of water, cook on high pressure for 12 minutes, removed from heat and allow the pressure cooker to depressurize and cool naturally. Delicious! Enjoy!

This is the BEST!! I am so glad you showed us one to do *safely* instead of the possibly-explode-and-kill-you method, that is cooked in a sealed can! Mine turned out FANTASTIC! Although, I did go against your recipe a little by not letting it sit for 20 minutes. Let's be honest...I couldn't wait! I decided to just plunge ahead and hold the can with a towel and stir after waiting about 4-5 minutes. Turned out to be the best thing, because stirring helped get all that thick milk that settles on the bottom and in the crevices up; because it was still nice and super hot, which made it melt into the other milk on the top. As a result, it actually was almost perfectly smooth when all was said and done. Thanks for this awesome way to make it!

I cook mine with the sealed can, and keeping the label on, because the glue will stick to the paper, I cook 5 at a time. For an hour for a darker color! I never had one explode yet, I fill till the water is above the top on the cans.

@jessicacecil1853 4 жыл бұрын

The reason he says no sealed can is because if you open a hot can right away it bursts and can give you burns, the worst part is sugar sticks so it burns into your skin and sticks. As I've been watching a bunch of recepe videos on this I've seen alot of people saying they have scares and burns. It's not that when you do it it has been safe you've just been lucky. If you wanna keep doing it its cool, I just didnt wanna not let you know and then get burned. Best wishes

Jessica Cecil it works, I use a pressure cooker so it only coos for an hours. And I keep the cans in the water, and pour cold water over it to cool it down, 30 minutes later and it ready to be used.

One reason many of us like alternate methods like the one in this tutorial is because of the explosion possibility with a sealed can. If you are willing to take that risk, that is fine but for many of us we prefer not to take that risk and love that there are other, safer ways to achieve the same goal.

can you put the vanilla in before you cook it? maybe that will keep it smooth. also I want to put some in the bottom of a cupcake and then drizzle it on top. it needs to be thicker for inside the cupcake so do I refrigerate it or do I just cook it longer in the instapot? and can I then heat a little up again for the drizzle? thanks for your help. :0)

You can cook as many cans that will fit, just don't take the kids off. If you cook with the kids on, you can store the caramel for as long as the expiry date on the condensed milk can. If you remove the lid like in this video, you have to eat within a few days.

You can but most of the flavor will evaporate because of the alcohol in the vanilla extract. If you used vanilla paste you def could and get a much tastier product.

I grew up in Miami around Cuban families. We used to always make Dulce de Leche in the can -- it is NOT Caramel, as Caramel is made differently, by melting sugar with butter. I've made Dulce de Leche in the sealed can a dozen times in my Instant Pot with only one cup of water. I really don't see a need to remove the top of the can and then replace it with foil. I know a bunch of people who have done that and gotten water in their Dulce de Leche. The canning process involves pressure, so putting the can in a pressure cooker is not a problem. At worst, a defective can might break open -- in which case you would not want to eat it anyway.

I've made this many times in a regular pot with boiling water, it takes hours, the longer you cook it, the firmer it gets. Let it cool in the can after cooking, then remove the other end of the can with a can opener and push the caramel out from the other end. It will come right out of the can keeping its shape. Slice and serve!
