The Best Ramekin

A 6.75-ounce stoneware ramekin with a glazed interior that resists sticking. The stoneware distributes heat evenly for consistent baking.

Safe for oven up to 500°F, microwave, broiler, freezer, and dishwasher. The stoneware retains heat well, keeping food warm at the table.

Usage

Good for individual servings of soufflés, crème brûlée, pot de crème, and pot pies. Fill ramekins no more than three-quarters full to allow for rise. Place on a baking sheet for easy handling.

Cleaning

Dishwasher safe. The glaze resists staining from chocolate and caramel. For baked-on residue, soak in warm soapy water. Avoid sudden temperature changes.
