Had an accident. Tripped in the kitchen & fell into the larder. A tin of condensed milk fell out & as I struggled to regain my balance I reeled across the room & knocked a can opener out of the drawer. As luck would have it, they collided and as I rebounded, the can burst open & a quantity poured into my coffee. A mess was avoided as there happened to be a small ramekin lying just where the tin tipped. Took ages to clean that with a teaspoon... :D

I've been using these since about 2005
They clean easy to use again and are ideal for SCM, jam, margarine, peanut butter, soft cheese etc.

Sweetened condensed milk, I don't like abbreviations much but as the whole thread is about sweetened condensed milk I honestly thought that the average person would have made the connection.

My mistake and I apologise

Anyone know how long they last unrefrigerated and opened? I've used them when cycle touring, but have kept them in a filled water bottle, for good measure.

Mine neither, it's still ditched in town after not making it up the street last night. I'm gonna try and blag work for a set of Autosocks tomorrow.

We had a fair bit last night, the main roads are clear but the smaller roads are still dodgy, I thought it might be freezing tonight but it's still melting at the mo.

Not as exciting as your journey but it took us four and a half hours to get home from Melton Mowbray last night, the first route was completely blocked by a sideways HGV meaning we had to turn back and head 16 miles in the opposite direction. The A1 was pretty bad, only one lane clear with tracks from the HGVs to follow, by the time we reached Donny it was lot clearer.

I wish I had mate, it was a long night

We were going to our kids house in Loughborough but we got stuck on the A607 just past Kirby Bellars, the slightest of hills but nobody was getting up. We turned round and headed for Grantham and the A1, I knew there was a dodgy dip that way but we just managed to creep up the other side.

With that much sugar, they'd probably last quite a while. Does it not say on the tube?

You'll have used it before it goes off, I am guessing but I'd say at the minimum a week. I've had tubes kicking around that long or more after opening in the house and not stored in the fridge.

Energy packed snack is a banana sandwich made with butter and condensed milk.

For those who find it too sweet don't forget good old fashioned evaporated milk :) I prefer it to dried milk (even full fat dried) and once open it will last a lot longer than fresh milk when camping.

As detailed above, this thread caused me to open a tin of condensed milk which I've been consuming since. It expired in 08/2009 apparently!

Woolworths here in Oz are still selling the coffee and milk in a tube stuff. Also get the tube of milk in the Oz rat packs. It is the koalas nuts mate.
I have a little bit in my morning espresso yum yum.
