A Box of Canned Evaporated Milk is a shop box that holds 6 cans of Canned Evaporated Milk. It is a bulk way to carry and store milk that keeps far longer than fresh milk. The box weighs 4.0, which is less than the 4.8 that six loose cans weigh.
The Open Box of Canned Food recipe empties the box into 6 cans. Six loose cans can go back into a box with the Pack 6 Cans of Food in Box recipe. Boxes of evaporated milk are a very rare find on store shelves and in bakery and diner kitchens.
Eating
The food is in the cans inside the box. Each can needs a Can Opener, a Sharp Knife or a Chipped Stone to open. An opened can of evaporated milk lowers hunger by 10 and thirst by 10. It holds 472 calories, split evenly between carbohydrates, protein and fat.
That makes it a rich and balanced drink for its size. Its main use is in baking and sweet dishes. An opened can adds 5 hunger to a sweet Pie or a Cake. It adds 2 to a Fruit Salad, Pancakes, a hot drink or a bowl of Oatmeal.

Storage
Sealed cans keep without spoiling, so a box of evaporated milk suits a long term food store. Once a can is opened, the milk stays fresh for 4 days and is fully rotten by day 7. A fridge slows both counts down.
