    Q: Why didn't you just do the hot spoon trick?
    A: Indeed, you can spread a layer of sugar over the custards, get a spoon extremely hot, and then press it into the sugar to caramelize it. If that works for you, great! Here's why I don't like it. 1) The best way to get a spoon that hot is by holding it over the flame from a gas stove. I, like most Americans, have electric; 2) If you're doing several custards, you have to keep heating the spoon back up. My method is very quick and easy for doing several custards at once; 3) It's actually kinda hard to get the spoon in there and around all the edges. Some people bend a spoon to a right angle to make it easier. Again, not a big deal if you're just doing one, but if you're making enough for a crowd, not convenient.
    Q: Isn't that just flan?
    A: In the sense that flan and crème brûlée are very similar desserts, sure. But no. Flan is a custard topped with caramel sauce. This is a custard topped with a hard caramel candy.
    Q: Can I do this with different sized ramekins?
    A: Possibly, but I haven't tested it. The no-bath method here makes it a bit more risky. Either do a test run when you don't have hungry people waiting, or use a water bath. If using a bath, I'd do 300 F, not 250 F. And I might do three egg yolks per two portions.
    Q: When you did the torch version, why didn't you do a second layer of sugar?
    A: Indeed, people will often spread a second layer of sugar down and blast it again with the torch. That gets you a smoother look and a thicker topping, which some people like. But I really prefer a very thin topping. Also this video isn't about the torch method.
    Q: Why didn't you use a real vanilla bean?
    A: I wanted to make this recipe as simple and easy as possible. Vanilla beans are very expensive and add a few additional layers of complexity to the process. It's best to precook your custard when using a vanilla bean, both to extract some flavor from the pod, and also get the custard more viscous so it'll hold the pulp in suspension. If you just put the pulp into a raw custard, the seeds will all settle to the bottom in the oven.

    I've tried this recipe over 10 times, and every time, the outside is more cooked than the inside. If the inside was perfect, the outside was overcooked. If the outside was perfect, the inside was liquid. My attempt today, however was perfect all around. This time, I started the custard in a cold oven, then baked for an hour at 225. I am so happy that I finally perfected this recipe in my own oven because I really wanted to have a perfect, homemade custard.

There’s nothing worse than using a recipe by a famously Bloated Pompous chef, by carefully following their instructions only to find out that their entire recipe doesn’t work! Most novice home cooks would be surprised if they knew that this happens all the time. As a professional chef who’s been in the industry for almost 20 years, I’ve never been able to make a super simple creme brûlée’s made easy at home without a water bath and torch. I hosted a dinner party this past Saturday and I made your creme brûlée’s for dessert and the result was fantastic! All my guests absolutely loved it! I just wanted to say thank you for your inspirational innovation for home cooking! Excellent work and I look forward to seeing your next video! Cheers!

    Just trust me on this one. Sounds so weird but I've served this in high end restaurants for years and everyone (everyone!!!) Loves this. Steep the cream with a couple seeded jalapenos. Key is not so much that there's any heat, just flavor. If u do too much u get a little back of the throat tickle. But jalapeno creme brulee has been the restaurant favorite dessert for years now.

Then the rest of the jalapeno rough chop just to get a little more surface area to let the flavor out.

    This method for making the caramel sounds like a game-changer. I'm not sure how it will work for me since I don't have traditional ramekins, but rather ones that are less than an inch high and oval-shaped. That's a lot of swirling the caramel around, and I know it would end up needing a lot of patch work. Will experiment with the custard recipe as well; the shape of my ramekins means it's that much harder not to slosh water into them, so not needing a water-bath would be a big plus.

    my mom makes them like this and I love the glassy version so much more! it has way more flavor than the torch could ever provide!

    Tried this. Amazing glassy texture that gave the most satisfying cracking experience lol my family says they even prefer it than blow torch method but I also accidentally burned my thumb with the caramel so dangerous method but would do it again 😂

    This is fascinating. A little unorthodox for the "custard" but totally practical for the caramelized sugar. Will definitely try the latter on top of traditional custard... In fact, the caramlized sugar here looks positively beautiful, much more consistent than achieved through conventional methods. This is a real contribution to knowledge.
