Ramekin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A ramekin or ramequin is a small glazed pottery baking dish, often white, used for the preparation and serving of various dish (food)es. These can be either sweet or savoury, including desserts such as the classic crème brûlée or molten chocolate cake, and savoury dishes such as moimoi, various cheese dishes, potted shrimps, and soufflés. Originally, it was a cheese dish including bread crumbs and eggs.

The glazed earthenware or stoneware dishes come in a variety of sizes . They are usually circular with a fluted exterior, though it is increasingly common to find other shapes, such as hearts or flower-like patterns. The ramekin is robustly built; suitable for oven use, or, in the case of crème brûlée, the flare of a torch flame.

Small ramekins are used in many restaurants to contain small portions of sauces and dressings for diners to apply to their food.

A ramekin is usually between 2 and 8 ounces in size.
