boiling a can of condensed milk to make Dulche de Leche (caramel)

Anyone else do this?
My sister came in town for Christmas and made a Dulche de Leche pie, and she did this.
I never thought of boiling cans of condensed milk, but it comes out so good.
The key is water must cover the can at all times or it will explode. You just boil for 2-3 hours and then you can use it or store it.
Good ice cream topping too.

I just used a really big soup pot and had like five inches of water above the cans, which I kept on their sides.

Alton Brown has a similar recipe but he boils whole milk, sugar, and a vanilla bean in a pot for 2-3 hours.
6 one way, half a dozen the other.

right, I had a different recipe too(don't see how that is "similar" 
), but this is leaving it in the can, once its boiled you can store it, and use it whenever. It still has the shelf life of the condensed milk.

My wife worked at a pie shop when she was a teenager and she taught me this. She makes some damn good pies.

Well condensed milk is milk which has had the water removed (boiling), and then sweetened (sugar added). I was saying it was similar because he's pretty much making homemade condensed milk.
I could see how boiling the whole can of condensed milk would be convenient but I wouldn't trust myself to know that it was done without opening the can first.
I guess after a couple of tries, you get use to how long it would take on your own stovetop.

Is Argentine dulce de leche available where you live? There are a few Argentine grocery stores around here that import it and always have it available for sale. It's good stuff.

I did it to make a banoffee pie. You have to boil it AT LEAST 4 hours for it to get to a true caramel consistency.

Goes well with sliced apples as well. I had a pastry chef show me that years ago.
