Ramekins - great single-serving dishes
The traditional definition of a ramekin is a small, straight-sided ceramic or glass single-serving dish used for baking and serving. Ramekins are often used when making desserts like crème brûlées, crumbles and cheesecakes but also for small portions of savoury dishes. Ramekins can also be used for serving small portions of food during parties and banquets.
What are the benefits of baking in a ramekin?
Since ramekins are generally cylindrical in shape and small in size, they're ideal for baking single-portion desserts. 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.
Ramekins are also handy for those people who live alone or just with a partner. After all, unnecessarily baking additional portions of food that will sit in your fridge for days is not only a waste of time, but also a waste of food. Zero-waste cooking is not only economical but also good for the environment.
Are ramekins durable?

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.
