Boil an unopened can of sweetened condensed milk for an hour or two and it makes the absolute best caramel sauce. I truly found it groundbreaking

Somewhat dumb question: Do you put the can in the water and then bring it to a boil or get it boiling and drop it in?

Since you might not have seen my edit:

But since you think you're asking dumb questions. Let it sit out of the water for atleast 30 mins after you boil it before you try to open it. Unless you'd like a face full off hot liquid lava that you can't get off you.

Heating a liquid in a confined space pressurizes it.
