Remove the labels from the cans of sweetened condensed milk.

Place the cans in a pot and pour in enough hot water to cover the cans completely.

Put the pot over medium heat and bring it to a simmer.

Set a timer and allow the cans to simmer for a full 3 hours, checking the water level occasionally and topping it up with boiling kettle water to keep the cans fully submerged.

After 3 hours, transfer the pot to the sink and run cold water into the pot until the cans have cooled enough to handle.

Remove the cans from the pot and transfer them to the sink, allowing them to continue cooling in the sink submerged in cold water for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, the cans are safe to open.
