Norpro 4oz/120ml Porcelain Ramekins, Set of 6

I was nervous about this purchase. We had never made creme brulee before, and I wasn't sure I was up for it, but my daughter (teen) was game. And I had seen mixed reviews, too, so I wondered whether these could go in the dishwasher and whether they would shatter beneath a broiler. Not to worry. Everything came out great. They can go (for a brief time anyway) under the broiler; they can go in the dishwasher, the microwave, the oven. They are relatively small (note the specs) and some people prefer a shallower, wider ramekin so they can make creme brulee with more surface area carmelized. Hey, that's up to you. We went the traditional route, and could not be more pleased. Although purchased for a specific purpose, these are also handy for putting small servings of snacks--nuts, small candies, whatever--around when you have a party. We will use them for all kinds of things. Highly recommended.

I love these ramekins and they are a must-have. They are an excellent value seeing how they have about a hundred different uses. Just to name a few, I use them when prepping, for serving, and making creme brulee, flan, cakes, mini pies, crumbles and souflees. They heat evenly, therefore, the things you bake in them cook evenly. Although I usually use a warm water bath when I use these for making custards or souflees but this is standard procedure... I have two sets of these and in the past year and a half, only one broke on me and that's because it fell from my cabinet... These are very durable and I have never had one crack or shatter on me from use. All in all, great product and even better value.

This is one of many small dishes I've collected for small-bite parties. The quality is good and you can bake in them. I think I'll buy another set because I'm using them a lot. I enjoy having small groups over for cocktails and sometimes dinner. You can put just about anything in these little dishes - nuts, small candies, raisins, soups, puddings, veggies, meat dishes, brandied fruit, fresh fruit - - - it's just about endless. I've even baked little pies in them. If I was 30 something with little kids, I'd have fun using these little dishes with them. However, I'm 77 and over 1,000 miles away from the grandkids. I just deal with adults these days; adults who love to party. I think you can look at the other little dishes I've purchased from Amazon if the idea of 'small-bites' appeals to you. Happy trails and happy entertaining, Sarah

I bought these ramekins to make some Filipino style leche flan. The size is just perfect for individual servings. So far, I've tried placing them in the steamer as well as inside the oven and they work great. The material is made of porcelain so they're somewhat shiny. It's thick, durable, and sturdy, I am surprised it didn't chip or break when my daughter accidentally drop one of them from our counter and it landed on the kitchen rug with a tile floor underneath! I use them also to hold condiments and sauces as well as snacks like dried fruits. Sometimes I use this to pre-measure ingredients when I'm cooking as they hold half a cup of wet or dry ingredients. I love these ramekin set, I'm sure I'll buy another set any time soon!

These tiny ceramic dishes are very well made and feel solid. They are easy to handle and extremely useful for serving all sorts of dips, sauces, and other small portions. I find myself using them every chance I get. This is the perfect size for serving bleu cheese dressing with chicken wings. You don't need to fill the cup to give an ample portion, and there is enough room to be able to roll the wing in there properly without spillover. Picking up the cup for a good scraping with a celery stick is very satisfying. They wash up easy; by hand or in the machine. The one negative is that these cups do not stack very well. They tend to become unstable, so be prepared to assign them shelf space. Use of a small flat wire rack keeps them safe in a cupboard.

We were looking for bowls for dipping sauces. Our family is very weird when it comes to Ketchup , honey, bbq sauce and things like that just on our plate. (it might touch something else ) So I came across these bowls. I love them! They are well made and no heavy like they look. An added bonus is you can use them in the oven! We have also used them for melting stuff in the microwave! These bowls have so many uses you might need to order 2 packs!They are perfect size!

These are the perfect size for pots de creme or other small flans or custards. The volume is not excessive for a single serving, nor is it particularly skimpy. I wouldn't recommend these for creme brulee, as I prefer a larger surface area to cover with caramelized sugar; however, if you wanted to make creme brulee in these, they would still work well. Just a matter of personal preference. My only complaint with this set is that 6 is such a strange number; 4 or 8 would have made more sense to me.

I bought this with the intention of making crème caramel and other delicacies and they have worked wonderfully. The little caramels slip out of the ramekins with easy and cleanup is no problem. These are good entry level ramekins and work well for the price. Warning: These are not design to handle the high heat of a broiler or chef's torch. You will want more robust ramekins for that. Overall, still highly recommended.
