Stove top Creme Brulee - 1 min Prep, with No-Torch Hacks! 

******Common issues & Troubleshoot Tips****** If your custard didn't set within say, 15 min, here are some possible issues that could cause this: 1. Did you start with cold water? heating up all the water takes time. I start mine with hot water from the kettle, for more consistent timing. While every stove is a little different, 15min in ~100C water should be enough to set the custard. If not, the problem's more likely 2) or 3). 2. You might have water that got into the ramekin. If you're using a shallow ramekin (instead of the tall, round ones), it's really easy to get water into the ramekin if the water is at a rolling boil rather than *gentle simmer* . *Trimming the foil* paper can also help avoid the ramekins from catching water & is recommended if you're using shallow ramekins. 3. Egg sizes can vary. Yolks can be too small in some eggs. *Try leave 1~2 tsp of the egg white in* , which will help the custard set easier/firmer. Custard is set entirely from egg protein. There is a lot more protein in the whites than yolks. Creme Brûlée is meant to be a softer set than flan, which is made with whole eggs. Removing more of the egg whites will result in a softer set. You can adjust the egg white amount to taste.

Adorei a ideia de despejar o caramelo quente sobre o creme gelado pra dispensar uso de maçarico

Thanks for the caramel hacks. I'll try the hot spoon method.

Thank you soooo much ! This is the first time my crème brûlée came out soooo goood . But i cooked mine for 20mins

Gonna try this now

Wow! Fantastic...thank you

I was looking for creme brulee with 1 egg and I found your recipe. I tried it yesterday and it turned out so delicious and creamy ! Next time I will add only 1 tbsp sugar because 2 tbsps was too sweet for me. Thank you for your easy instructions 💕Subscribed!

Interesting. Thank you so much

Amazing video , gonna try it out

You're a genius

Wow delicious recipes..THANK you for sharing uuummmm must be delicious..

Very useful thank you!

This was fun, and it worked! Hubby said it was perfect 🎉❤ It took 2x the cook time. We had shallow ramekins and didn't want boil over, so heat may have been too low, or steam didn't build. He LOVED playing with fire 😂 Simple and rewarding recipe!

Looove it very info!!

this is such an underrated channel!

Great video! Thanks

Thanks for sharing this simple step.. hope i can do it same like you.. 🥰

Thank you so much. This was extremely helpful and I appreciate your clear concise directions. Thank you for all the different methods of melting the sugar. I don't have a torch. Plus an added bonus. I am diabetic and was wondering if I should use the real sugar for the top and the fake for the cream? Or the fake for the top and real for the cream? You answered that question and I didn't even have to ask! Thanks again.

Great job

Wow! Your I love your sugar methods! SUSCRIBED! :)

It looks yummy..

Thank you! I do have an oven but im worried about putting anything thats not a pan in the oven, and i dont have a torch either! Thank you I'll be trying this today

Thank you for the spoon technique at the end i don't have a blow torch...

Merci

You are super!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💕

Thank you reddit

You said you don't need a torch in the title...I trusted you

it was really good one small mistake was that I accidentally under cooked it

your are so sweet thank you so much

Mine didn't set even after 30mins, still tasted delicious!

Hello, love these hacks. I have a question about the caramel topping using sugar and water. You mention to cook until amber color colors can be subjective, so am I to cook that caramel to hard crack stage and then pour it or soft crack stage and then pour it on the room temperature or cold custard? Hope you can answer this question. Thank you very much.

If you have a long lighter/ candle lighter also works just fine

What can I replace heavy cream with if I don’t have any?

Can I use vanilla extract?? Love the video!!

Can I use that spoon technique for a meringue cake? Like use heated spoon on a meringue layer of cake. Will it work?

I have a question, what temperature should the creme brulee be heated on (this also applies to the substitution of the blow-torched sugar)? This recipe is great, but I need to know what temperature I should put, so I can make this for my family tomorrow. 🤗 Thanks for showing this recipe!

How many time cook this?

What temperature do you cook them at because it took me over an hour to cook

didn't quite understand, is just boiling water enough or should the stove be on low temp?

Can I know what’s vanilla you used! Thanks

Thats genius! The hot spoon method. I tried grilling sugar but was too hard to control. Cherrs from New Zealand 🌬💋

Thanks, did you cook them on lower heat or medium heat?

Where do u get the dishes from

Is there a substitution for foil I made the creme brûlée and it’s in the ramekins just dont have foil unluckily

Thank you for all the tips. Can I steam it in a steamer?

what temp do i need to turn my stovetop to? or do i just leave the pan on there 😅

Had to cook mine longer. I keep checking it every 7 mins or so but its still liquidy. My ramekins are bigger so maybe thats the issue?

Okay i think i had took it out early because its still liquid in the center and its been 2hrs chilling in the fridge should i put them to simmer?

I have an electric stove so at what tick mark should I heat the pan at? Is medium heat fine? And how would I know if temp is fine? Water needs to simmer right?

👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💜

What to use if you dont have aluminum foil

is the heat supposed to be low heat or medium low

I tried this recipe. It was very easy and tasty thanks alot.But maybe you'd better make it 15 minutes instead of 12 minutes to be thicker.

Hello! So I did not have heavy cream at home and decided to make my own following a RU-vid video. It was milk and melted butter. Maybe I used a little too much butter? When my creme brulee was done on the stove top I Noticed leftover melted butter sitting on top of the custard. I tried scooping with a small spoon but didn't want to ruin the mold. It was moving around in the ramekin. Im refrigerating it soon. I'll see how it comes out then. I'm worried the butter will get in the way of the sugar...

Well aren’t you clever? It worked great but I used an iron skillet and I covered it to save on the foil. I hate making a large amount for just two people and turning on the oven when it’s 100 degrees outside. So this way works out great, my wife loves it.
