Observations

Cooking time will be completely different depending on whether you use a saucepan, a pressure cooker, or a multi-cooker (like Cookeo).
Cooking time in a saucepan or pot: 2 hours
Cooking time in a pressure cooker: 1 hour
Cooking time in a multi-cooker: 25 minutes.

Don't forget to remove the label from the can if there is one.

You can keep your jar for about 1 month (if you can resist! ;-) )

When cooking in a multi-cooker, wrap the can of sweetened condensed milk in a cloth to avoid scratching the pot.

For cooking in a Cookeo, place the can wrapped in a cloth in the steam basket, cover it with water, and pressure-cook for 25 minutes.
