FAQs

How long can you keep a Scottish tablet? ›

When stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, Scottish tablet can stay fresh for several weeks. Over time, it may become slightly drier and lose some of its texture, but it will still be safe to consume.

The two main reasons for this is either you don't have enough milk or butter to the ratio of sugar or you have tried to cook the tablet too quickly and you just haven't given the sugar the time it needs to melt.

Some people will try to tell you that tablet is a form of fudge. However, proper tablet aficionados (and we have been doing a lot of sampling) will tell you that there is a clear difference in texture between tablet and fudge. Fudge tends to be softer, while tablet has a grainier and more brittle texture.

Since sugar is a natural preservative, tablet will last for a while! Stored in an airtight tin, it will keep well for at least two or three weeks. Can you freeze it? Yes!

If you pour it into the tin and it doesn't set, don't worry, just reboil for a little while longer (I've done this a few times) Also good with a bit of fresh ginger added at the beginning, flavours the tablet beautifully and leaves little exciting nuggets to bite into!

Remove the pan from the heat leave to cool for 5 minutes, then beat until set. Pour into the tin and leave to set fully in the fridge for 2 or more hours. Then remove from the tin and cut into squares.

The best Scottish Tablet should be smooth and melt in your mouth. A grainy texture normally means that your sugar has melted too quickly. So if you'd prefer it to be a little smoother then it's down to beating. Give it a little more elbow grease!

You've cooked the Tablet too fast. One of the most important things about making Scottish Tablet is patience! If you try to cook your Tablet too fast your sugar won't dissolve. Tablet is over 50% sugar, so while you want to create tasty Scottish Sweets you need to give it time to melt and cook properly.

Store Scottish tablet in an airtight container with pieces separated by wax paper or parchment paper. Keep it at room temperature for up to 10 days or store it in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 weeks. Scottish tablet may be frozen for up to 3 months.

Tablet is occasionally referred to as Scottish or Scots tablet or as Swiss Milk tablet, since some people call condensed milk “Swiss Milk”. For most Scots, tablet is their favourite sweet, especially when home-made.

What does a Scottish tablet taste like? ›

Think the sweetest fudge you've ever had, without the vanilla flavour, but more of a crumbly, melt-in-the-mouth texture. And multiple the sweetness by about a hundred. Then you're pretty close to what tablet tastes like!

Never stir the mixture during cooking or sugar could crystallize again. The mixture may seize and become grainy. Use a candy thermometer or conduct a cold water test to check if the fudge is done. Do not rely on the cooking time indicated in your recipe.

How long does Scottish Tablet Keep? Tablet is over 50% sugar and because sugar is a natural preservative, it means that if it is kept in an airtight tin and stored at room temperature, it can last for around 10 days. If you keep it in the fridge, however, it can keep for a few weeks!

If your Tablet still doesn't set, it is possible to pour it back in a pan, reheat, and start the process again. It can turn out a bit more sugary/grainy, but at least you'll still get Tablet!

The next factor in calculating how long tablets last is from a software perspective. Each drawing tablet manufacturer will have different software update schedules and timelines. For example, Android tablets typically only receive three years on average, while XPPen tablets receive 4 to 5 years.

Store Scottish tablet in an airtight container with pieces separated by wax paper or parchment paper. Keep it at room temperature for up to 10 days or store it in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 weeks. Scottish tablet may be frozen for up to 3 months.

See the table below for a recent version history. The pace of change is fast – we recommend replacing tablets every three years to keep up with security features, memory size and speed needed to run all programs – including Sales Builder Pro – effectively. Internet security protocols also continue to evolve.

While whiskey doesn't necessarily expire, it does start to lose flavor and elements after it is opened. An unopened bottle of whiskey will last indefinitely if stored in proper condition. After opening a bottle of whiskey, you have as long as two years or as few as six months or less to drink it before it goes bad.
