Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Chicago Metallic 6 Piece Creme Brulee Set
Customer Review: Clever, Goof Proof Design
Summary: 5 Stars
I used to make creme brulee the old fashioned way and always ended up with water in at least one ramekin. That ruins your efforts. The kit's metal rack holds the tops of the ramekins above the water level, so water cannot get in and ruin your dessert. The rack also allows you to remove the ramekins from the hot water without scalding yourself; It's a clever design. I ended up buying a second kit for Holiday Dinners. The ramekins & metal parts all clean easily in the sink, so don't put them in the dishwasher. The kit comes with a recipe that tastes great and makes exactly the right amount...try it. BTW, the recipe tells you how to roast the sugar topping in the oven, so don't waste money on a torch. I wish someone would make a similar kit for flan.Customer Review: Easy and convenient Creme Brulee!

The tray and wire rack make this the easiest and most convenient way to make Creme Brulee - easy to cook, remove, and transport (if necessary). The only thing that would make this set better would be if it came with its own torch. I bought this set and another set that came with a torch and this is by FAR the better set. The ramekins are deep and require longer cooking time, but the water suspension design on this set has given me perfect creme brulee every time. And the deeper ramekins = more delicious dessert!Customer Review: No replacement ramekins available

I love the set - works really well - but I broke a ramekin and Chicago Metallic doesn't offer extra ramekins to fit in the wire rack. They are supposed to be 6-oz ramekins and the closest I could find were 6-oz ramekins from HIC - but those just barely do NOT fit in the set's wire rim - so now my set only makes 3 brulees at a time. If you buy this set - don't break any ramekins because as far as I can tell they are not replaceable.Customer Review: Perfect Creme Brulee

I live waaaaay out in the country, but have developed quite a taste for Creme Brulee. So, on a trip to the city, I got this set. It worked great. Easy to use and handle.The rack for the custard cups made it easy to move the custard from the oven without getting scalded by the water bath. Everything cleaned up well. Of course, I had to get a flame thrower to burn the sugar, but I loved it. If you have the room, a great buy.Customer Review: Chicago Metallic Commercial Cr¿me Brulee Set
Summary: 4 Stars
This set makes making Brulee much easier for me. I have MS and doing the typical waterbath setup is harder and more difficult for me to manage. Otherwise a great brulee is made using set with limitations only by the chef. Can't wait to try more brulee variations.
