Does any one recall brand names of Condensed milk

We have a tin in the store cupboard that's been there for at least 10
years! The brand is Fussell's. Not a name I'm familiar with. We must
have bought it in Tesco's because that's where we always shopped until
recently.

My dad swore by fussells. AIR boil it gently, sealed in the tin,
in a saucepan of water & it turns into delicious caramel
!

There are quite a few recipes that use this. I've been wondering about
cooking up a tin in a pressure cooker, to take the temperature a bit
higher (but still safely, on the assumption that nothing in there will
decompose to evolve significant amounts of gas). I suppose I could
always puncture the tin.

It's a pretty standard way of making the "offee" for Banoffee pie. (And
millionaires shortbread). I've never used a pressure cooker though, but
it is important to never let the pan boil dry - they have the potential
to explode otherwise.

Takes 2-3 hours, depending on how dark & thick you want it.

Never puncture the tin either - you'll end up with gloop all over
the place.

Of-course in these elf'n'safety days, they tell you not to do it,
but as long as the pan never boils dry, it's fine.

Or if you have lots of £ and like supporting Nestle then you can
but it already toffeed in the tin...
