How a 12 oz can of evaporated milk works out
Unlike a can of pumpkin, the 12 oz on an evaporated milk can is fluid ounces, a volume: 12 × 29.57 = 355 ml, exactly 1½ US cups. Evaporated milk is denser than water because so much of its water has been cooked off, so that volume weighs about 378 g.
The small 5 fl oz can is 148 ml, a little over ½ cup. In the UK evaporated milk is sold by weight in a 410 g tin, which is slightly more than a US 12 oz can. Use it all in a pumpkin pie; the extra two tablespoons will not upset the set.
Making a pie with it? The Classic Pumpkin Pie uses one 15 oz can of pumpkin and one 12 oz can of evaporated milk, with every ingredient given in cups and grams.
Tip: A standard 12 oz can of evaporated milk is about 1½ cups; reconstitute leftovers with an equal amount of water to use as regular milk.
