Creme Brulee Baking Time. If you plan on making it at home youll need to invest in a few. Place the bain-marie onto the centre shelf of the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the custards are just set but still a bit wobbly in the middle.
Crème brûlée is traditionally baked in a wide shallow ramekin. Bake in a water bath for 30 minutes or until the Brûlées jiggle slightly in the middle like jello jigging like water means they are not done yet. You know exactly how much to make because each person gets an individual ramekin.
My suggestions would be to use a ceramic dish -- one that is large enough for the custard to not be.
If you plan on making it at home youll need to invest in a few. With tongs transfer custards to a rack to cool then refrigerate uncovered for at least 4 hours. Place the unbaked creme brulee in a larger baking dish over a kitchen towel and fill the larger dish with very hot water until it reaches about halfway up the creme brulee dishes. I personally have never baked one large creme brulee.
