Question:

is my pan ruined after making caramel?

as detailed loved by many, i put an unopened can of sweetened condensed milk in a pot and boiled it for three hoursthe caramel is good, sure, but the pot seems to have gotten scratched a bit from the can bouncing aroundfurthermore, the whole pot has changed colours and has taken on a strongly metallic smellis there anything i can do, or should i just buy another?

Answer:

I'm afraid your pan may be ruinedThe combo of the aluminum can and the stainless steel isn't goodTry this safer version of Tres Leche1 can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk Pour Eagle Brand into a 9 ovenproof plateCover with foil; place in large shallow baking pan, pour hot water into larger pan to depth of 1 Bake in preheated 425°F (220 °C) oven 1 hour or until thick and caramel-coloured.
