One very commonly used method in the US involves either cooking fresh
milk for hours, and then there's a "pressure-cook-unopened-cans-of-
condensed-milk" version, and another method of boiling the cans in a
kettle...
Here's one I recently heard on my local news radio station, though,
that I found intriguing; it uses your oven to slowly cook condensed
milk in a covered pan:

I'm assuming that it's in New York City where people don't always know
that sweetened, condensed milk is not the same stuff as evaporated
milk, and not in most parts of Atlantia. Local awareness of this issue
has presumably changed over the years in any case...

bellies."
