Milk, Canned, Evaporated, Nonfat, With Added Vitamin A And Vitamin D: Grams to Cups Conversion
Evaporated nonfat milk is a shelf-stable, concentrated dairy liquid with a density of 1.082 g/ml, significantly denser than fresh milk because roughly 60% of its water has been removed through vacuum evaporation. One US cup weighs approximately 256 g and a tablespoon about 16.0 g. It provides a rich, slightly caramelized flavor to pumpkin pies, tres leches cakes, and creamy soups while keeping fat content minimal, making it a staple in both baking and savory cooking.

FAQ
- Why is evaporated nonfat milk so much heavier per cup than regular skim milk?
- At 1.082 g/ml, evaporated nonfat milk is denser than regular skim milk at about 1.035 g/ml because 60% of the water has been removed, concentrating the milk proteins, lactose, and minerals into a smaller volume that yields roughly 256 g per cup.
- Can evaporated nonfat milk be reconstituted to replace fresh skim milk?
- Yes, mixing equal parts evaporated nonfat milk and water brings the density close to fresh skim milk at about 1.035 g/ml, though the flavor will have a slight cooked, caramelized note from the evaporation process that fresh milk lacks.
- How does evaporated nonfat milk affect the texture of pumpkin pie filling?
- Its concentrated protein content at 1.082 g/ml helps the custard set firmly while delivering a creamy mouthfeel without added fat; one cup provides the same dairy solids as nearly two cups of fresh skim milk, creating a denser, smoother filling.
