So funny! I did the exact same thing- when I awoke to the fire alarm screaming, I walked into the kitchen to see one of the cans spinning and shooting carmel in a circular fashion all over my kitchen. Took forever to get it cleaned up- I was so disappointed as I had watched my mother do this for years and her's always turned out marvelous. In response to dianabanana:

The problem with making it with canned condensed milk..is that it still tastes like canned milk. It has that slighly funky canned flavor that both evaporated and condensed milk have. There is an alternate (read safer) method using the condensed milk. Check David Lebovitz's site for the recipe. It works perfectly and your peace of mind is intact! Though it still tastes like canned! I like your method better using fresh whole milk. The problem with making it with canned condensed milk..is that it still tastes like canned milk.

Sugdew - I used 500ml whole milk (approx 2 cups), 120g sugar, 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda and 1 tsp vanilla essence. But you could adjust the sugar to your own preference! I don't really like super sweet things and this was alright for me. (: Grabriela - Yup it was yummy! Dianabanana - Your story is funny, even though I'm sure it wasn't funny when it happened to you. Maybe I'll try boiling a can of condensed milk the next time... Shivya - This was great with cheesecake. Mmmm coffee... Sounds excellent as well... Just Cook It - It was love at first taste for me... Haha. Stevelowton - Thanks! (: I'm gathering the courage to boil my first can of condensed milk/ Jewaira - Yes it is tasty!

My daughter and I are aspiring amateurs in the kitchen. Great site/blog. You really use such great vocabulary and great images. PS Do NOT worry about the boiling the can of condensed milk. It works every time. We do taht trick when we are making Banoffee Pie. You must remeber though to use the whole fat stuff an don't the 'lite' version. Steve Lowton Wow this looks great!
