How to use
Preheat the oven to the recipe temperature and place the ramekin on a baking tray for stability. Fill the dish with batter, custard or prepared ingredients to the level recommended by your recipe, leaving space for expansion if needed. Bake until set or browned according to recipe instructions, then remove with oven mitts and place on a heat-resistant surface or directly on the table for serving. Allow to cool briefly before serving hot items to avoid scalding.
Usage recommendations
For best results, avoid sudden extreme temperature changes to prevent thermal shock: do not place a hot ramekin directly on a cold or wet surface. Hand washing preserves the glazed finish longer, although ceramic is generally dishwasher safe; use non-abrasive cleaners to maintain the surface. Use oven-safe mitts when handling the ramekin and allow it to cool slightly before rinsing with cold water.
