My oven only goes to 250.

[rouxbe]

@tmseyes Is your oven Celsius or Fahrenheit? We're quoting the later so you'd require about 165 C

Instead of the torch can I use one of those flame crack pipe lighters?

hmm to caremalise the sugar can i put it back in the oven for a minute??

[DanDoun87]

Use brown sugar it tastes so much better than white sugar.

@mafrek You can certainly heat the water in the oven while warming up the oven. One thing to keep in mind that many forget is a thing called "displacement". What may look like a good water level may over flow when you add your ramekins. This is why we add the water after the ramekins so we know we're come 1/2 up the side. Best to do a counter test first to see what level you need that water to be without the ramekins.

@rouxbe do i lessen the time? and also what if i heated the water in the oven and put the ramekins in? is that ok or should i stick with putting it in after the ramekins? thanks a lot for the help.

@rouxbe That's pretty funny. I didn't think of that. I'm sure the difference of 80 degrees Celcius would have an impact on the end result. Thanks for the help.

How much cream? She didn't say.

@rouxbe thank you

@babyboogalicious You might want to keep an eye on them as I don't think you'll need 5 minutes.
