Evaporated cow's milk

[jean1C]

I am a couponer....a responsible one, not a crazy one...lol. Last Christmas I acquired a boatload (def...."more than 6") cans of evaporated milk...I had grandiose ideas of making all kinds of fudge for gifts, then my mother in law was diagnosed with a stage 4 Cancer. Anyhow...now I have these cans of milk in my pantry, and no real desire to make anything bakery related.

If I use the milk in soap...how long can I expect the soap to last without getting "spoiled" or rancid? I am already doing goat's milk and this week I am picking up some fresh gm from a local farmer instead of the canned stuff. Does the cow's milk look/feel the same way?

As far as I know there will be no problem with the soap going rancid because of the milk. Rancidity is the result of unsaponified oils oxidizing and going rancid.

I've used evaporated cow's milk before with no problems (no rancidity, etc.) I would think you'd have an experience very similar to canned goat's milk.

That's what I would think too, you'll have to be sure to let us know how it goes...pics are nice too.
