Carnation Evaporated Lowfat 2% Milk — 12 oz Can
Product description
This product is a 12-ounce can of lowfat evaporated milk labeled as 2% milk with added vitamins A and D. The can contains concentrated milk that provides a creamier mouthfeel than standard lowfat liquid milk, and it is sold as a single sealed can.
Ingredients are primarily milk, with vitamins A and D added for fortification. The can is shelf-stable until opened and is intended as a pantry ingredient for cooking and beverage use. It can be stirred into coffee, used in curries and creamy soups, incorporated into baked goods, or employed wherever you want richer texture without using heavy cream.
After opening, transfer any unused portion to a covered container and refrigerate; use within a few days. For applications calling for regular milk, the evaporated product can be mixed with water to approximate a standard milk consistency, or used directly when a thicker, more concentrated dairy flavor is desired.
Pros
- Fortified with vitamins A & D
- Compact, shelf-stable 12 oz can

Cons
- Single-can packaging may be small for frequent use
- Must refrigerate and use quickly after opening
- Not a direct substitute for whole cream in every recipe
VerdictHandy and versatile in the kitchen for adding creaminess without heavy fat. Fortified with vitamins A and D and packaged in a compact 12 oz can, it’s convenient for recipes and beverages. Good for occasional use when a richer texture is needed.
