Product Description

Amazon.com Review

These pretty little ramekins are a bit different in style than the traditional vertically rippled cups that look like miniature soufflé dishes. The tall, smooth sides are only interrupted by three horizontal ridges--it's a clean look, and actually makes them more practical. They're easier to grab from under the hot broiler and also easier to scrub clean after use--no more caramelized sugar trapped in the ripples! The smooth interior flares just slightly at the top to provide a broader surface area for that tasty top layer. Each ramekin holds up to 8 ounces when filled to the very brim, and goes easily from freezer to oven or microwave--terrific for make-ahead fruit crisps or cobblers. --Jill Lightner

These are great for a wide variety of uses and in this great red color they are very cute too! Cute, practical and useful - how good can they get!

They are perfect to use for this recipe:

MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CAKES

For best results, use a dark baking chocolate with high cocoa butter content (about 30 percent)

12 teaspoons plus 5 tablespoons sugar

8 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter

3 large eggs

3 large egg yolks

1 tablespoon all purpose flour

1 quart purchased vanilla bean ice cream

Generously butter eight 3/4-cup ramekin or custard dish. Sprinkle inside of each dish with 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar.

Stir chocolate and butter in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until smooth. Remove from heat.

Using electric mixer, beat eggs, egg yolks, and remaining 5 tablespoons sugar in large bowl until thick and pale yellow, about 8 minutes. Fold 1/3 of warm chocolate mixture into egg mixture, then fold in remaining chocolate. Fold in flour.

Divide batter among ramekins or dishes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with plastic; chill. Bring to room temperature before continuing.)

Preheat oven to 425F. Place ramekins/dishes on baking sheet. Bake cakes uncovered until edges are puffed and slightly cracked but center 1 inch of each moves slightly when dishes are shaken gently, about 13 minutes.

Top each cake with scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and serve immediately. Makes 8 servings.


Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Individual Ramekins Hold Three Ounces, January 30, 2001

By 

Michela (Seattle, WA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Le Creuset Stoneware 4-3/4-Ounce 4-Piece Ramekin Set, Red (Kitchen)

Le Creuset has redesigned their ramekin line so that there are now attractive ridges encircling the pots rather than the vertical ridges that are usually found on other ramekins. These horizontal ridges make the ramekins very easy-to-handle when placing them in the oven or when removing them. This three-ounce size is very small. Be sure to check your recipe in advance to see what size ramekin is needed. Many recipes vary in terms of size requirements. I have found this size is perfect for most desserts, such as crème brulée, flan, chocolate mousse, or a deep-dish fruit tart.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Adorable Ramekins, January 22, 2006

I can't wait to find more recipes for these terrific ramekins! I was a little concerned at first that the may be too small; but, after trying the Molten Chocolate Cakes recipe, I am looking forward to using them again and again. If you are a chocolate lover, definitely try Mary Davis' recipe...they baked up beautifully; and, they had a perfect gooey center. The make-ahead feature is a winner. Easy to handle and to clean. I adore Le Creuset!!
