creme brulee

[elephanto]

Any secrets to make these puddings a success? Not been successful yet. Thought perhaps oven too high coz tops browened up - wondered if cook for longer at lower temperature?

I used to make creme brulee at a restaurant I worked at years ago, and they never went in the oven. I would make the custard part on the hob and labouriosly whisk and whisk, until it was nice and thick, then whip it off the hob, pour into ramekins and chill in the fridge. When they were set and ready to serve, I'd sprinkle brown sugar on top and blow torch.

I have previously attempted to make creme brulee. And failed. It was meant to go in the oven for like 30 mins or somethin, but it was in there for nearly 2 hours. Apparently they are suposed 2 b cooked on a very low temperature, so i'm sure with the right recipe and a lot of patience, it will work!

Use Delia Smith's recipe but make the custard in the microwave. Very carefully, a minute at a time until it thickens. Perfecto, every time. Then put your sugar on top and scorch
