Ramekins can also be used for serving small portions of food during parties and banquets.

What are the benefits of baking in a ramekin?

They are microwave, oven and dishwasher safe and work well as tart pans or muffin pans. Ramekins are perfect for souffle and other mouth-watering desserts which you can serve straight from the oven to the table. Bon appetit!

Creative cooks use ramekins for dips, pies and even creamy soups. They're also ideal for serving snacks like nuts or dried fruit.

Is it necessary to pre-prep the ramekins before baking in them?

Most ramekins are comparatively small. As a result, the heat in the oven can easily get to the middle of the mixture. To prevent your dessert from burning, baking hard or overcooking, it is advisable to place the ramekin in a water bath. In all cases, check the manufacturer's instructions beforehand. Some ramekins are even pressure-cooker safe or useable in microwaves.
