Cooking with Slinwagh: Creme Brulee

[Haircut]

Don't have a blowtorch so can't try this but you make it sound very easy and the photos look scrumptious so posting so say thanks!

Just stick them under the grill for a few minutes if you don't have a blowtorch.

its better if you grill 'em, because then you don't get any butane-y taste.

they 'torch 'em in restaruants because its faster.

It doesn't taste of butane if you blow torch them. As far as I am aware you use the blowtorch so that you can caramalise the sugar without cooking the cream mixture.

That's what I thought. The very direct heat of the blowtorch caramelises the sugar without heating what's underneath too much.

Hello Slinwagh!

I'm going to be giving this a go tomorrow but I just wanted to check if its double cream and whole milk? If not then semi and single?

And how long do you normally leave them in the oven?

 

[Jebblehmoo]

Om nom nom nom.

Double cream, whole milk.

As far as the oven goes I just kept looking through the window. 40 minutes is suggested but in my fan oven I left them for no more than 30 minutes.

Perfect.

I see some dirt on the plate though... minus a few points for presentation tbh.

Looks like sugar, to me.
