| Wikipedia: Ramekin |
A ramekin or ramequin is a small glazed ceramic serving bowl used for the preparation and serving of various food dishes.
With a typical volume of 50-250 ml (2-8 oz)[1], ramekins are common dishes used for serving crème brûlée, Molten chocolate cake, moimoi, cheese dishes, egg dishes, potted shrimps, ice cream, soufflé, baked "cocottes", or scallops or used to serve side garnishes and condiments alongside an entree.
Traditionally circular with a fluted exterior, ramekins can also be found in novelty shapes, such as flowers or hearts.
Ramekins are built to withstand high temperatures, as they are frequently used in ovens, or in the case of crème brûlée, exposed to the flare of a cooking torch.
The name "Ramekin" is shared with the name of a cheese dish including bread crumbs and eggs, and is derived from the Low German ramken. [2]
