My favorite dispatches from Dennis are the ones where the subject of the email immediately makes me go "Oh you're a bad man". This was such a one. Obviously I had to share it with my friend who just had a baby because she needs more chaos in her life!

You might want to try the instant pot version of Dulce de Leche, which takes only 35 minutes, and uses a can of Eagle Brand condensed milk. Voila!! You gotta love it.

Nice. I have an Instant Pot! I always forget how much I like dulce de leche when it's in stuff, I really should make it (and you may have just sold me)

I know somebody who just this week was making dulce de leche on the stovetop, and forgot about it for ~4 hours. They got to learn how fun it is to clean that shit off their ceiling.

You not botching it that badly is surely a testament to your cooking prowess.
