Author's Notes

Make Dulce de Leche with a pressure cooker:
Remove the label from the condensed milk can. In a pressure cooker, add the steam basket and place the condensed milk can on top. Fill in the water to cover the can but do not exceed the maximum capacity. Cover with the lid. The pot will take 20 minutes to come up to the pressure. Carefully release the pressure from the cooker, it will take about 30-40 minutes. Then remove from the heat and let the pot cool down before removing the lid. Remove the can and make sure the can is completely cooled down before opening.

Make Dulce de Leche with oven:
Pour the condensed milk into a pie dish, and use a piece of foil to cover tightly. Place the pie dish on the deep baking dish. Then fill in hot water to reach about an inch of depth. Bake in the oven for about 2 hours. Make sure to check the water and refill the hot water.
