That's not all. I removed some of the marketing blurbs, but this article is a mess. Obviously written by people who make it. This is terrible. 73.6.96.168 (talk) 08:11, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Canadian Evaporated Milk

I happen to have a can in front of me ("Pacific" brand), and while it has Vitamins C and D3, it has no vitamin A. I suppose this constitutes "own research", so I won't add it unless someone else thinks it's worthwhile. Snickersnee 22:57, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I also have canadian evaporated milk in front of me (carnation brand), and it doesn't contain vitamin a (the label says 0%). It also doesn't contain any sugar, so should the sentence "In the U.S., it is not sweetened" be changed to say "North America" ? Prgrmr@wrk 21:32, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment on above: North America consists of Canada, The United States of America and, in English, The United States of Mexico. Without Mexico's standards included, agreeing standards of the USA and Canada do not constitute something that is true across North America. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.192.210.58 (talk) 20:20, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

patent

If the patent was awarded in 1854, how did a competitor produce it in 1855? --Uunter 04:05, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sweetened?

The intoductory paragraph does not make sense. It seems like someone from Malaysia has just added one sentence in there, confusing evaporated milk with (sweetened) condensed milk. I am not 100% sure that this is correct, so would someone from Malaysia please rectify it, if it is in fact a mistake? Oom Kosie 23:29, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a {{fact}} tag to the sentence so someone can either provide a reference to the assertion, or just delete it. —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 05:48, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

2023 comment

I also think the title photo isn't about the evaporated milk, but rather, condensed milk. Evaporated milk, IIRC, can be brown due to going through heating and thus, accidentally getting caramelized a little. Trick is, Spaniards tend to slap "dulce de leche" sticker to the kind for milk that is both concentrated and caramelized. OkiPrinterUser (talk) 11:28, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

appert

Inventor Nicolas Appert in 1820. ^[1] see en french Jpbarbier (talk) 09:36, 8 May 2009 (UTC)jpbarbier[reply]

You need to provide better sources. The source you referred to looks like it might be a website run by you and does not specifically mention evaporated milk, at least in the google translation.

This translation of Appert's book, [1] , seems to indicate that he successfully canned some milk products, but does not claim that he invented the product "evaporated milk".

Making your own evaporated milk?

Is it possible in some way to make your own evaporated milk at home? If you leave an answer, please notify me on my talk page. —Kri (talk) 15:43, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No. 73.6.96.168 (talk) 08:10, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Gail Borden first tried to evaporate milk using an canning tool and not a kitchen utensil. This link - https://www.gutenberg.org/files/27327/27327-h/27327-h.htm - ctrl+f "Gale Borden". OkiPrinterUser (talk) 12:04, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted all sections without citations.

Come on folks! You can't just make stuff up and add it without citations. If you add it back, I'll do this the "hard" (official) way - but you'll still have to come up with some reasonable citations to add it back. You can't just say something and call it a "fact". Ridiculous.

This entire article seems like it was written by the "Bordens Marketing Team". 73.6.96.168 (talk) 08:19, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You talk page says you are a vandal. Curious. OkiPrinterUser (talk) 12:06, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
