Know before you buy
No, these dishes are not broiler safe. We recommend using a handheld kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar on your creme brulee.
These dishes are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the quality of the porcelain, we recommend hand washing them with warm, soapy water.
No, these ramekins are designed specifically for oven baking and are not suitable for microwave or freezer use. They are also not resistant to thermal shock, so avoid moving them directly between extreme temperature environments.
Each ramekin measures 5.25 inches in diameter and 1.25 inches in height, which is the standard size for achieving an even, thin layer of caramelized sugar.
