Condensed milk is often used to prepare a variety of desserts.
You can also eat it as a snack with ready-made dishes, such as pancakes.
And some people are not at all averse to enjoying this product in its pure form, so to speak.
To ensure that such a snack does not negatively affect your health, expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova recommends familiarizing yourself with the rules for storing condensed milk.
The shelf life of condensed milk in a closed jar is about a year - it can be left in the refrigerator or stored without using a refrigerator.
But after opening the can, the situation changes.
Often housewives leave the remains of condensed milk in a tin container, putting it in the refrigerator until the next use.
If you do the same, do not be surprised that the product will quickly lose its qualities: as a result of such storage, condensed milk can become candied, thicken and lose its original taste and nutrients.
Instead, the remaining condensed milk should be poured into another container, such as plastic or glass.
This way you will prevent the product from coming into contact with air and prevent its oxidation.
And one more important point: after you pour in the condensed milk, close the container tightly with a lid.
In this form, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week - the taste will remain the same.
