Tony F Dordogne Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 It's that time of year when I can't keep up with the fruit in the garden. OH likes individual fruit things, usually cooked in ramekins but using ceramic ones all the time is a bit awkward, especially freezing them when cooled.Does anybody know a supplier/place to buy foil ramekins rather that flan dishes - I'm using the foil snail dishes with the dimples levelled out for two/three person clafoutis/flans etc but would prefer the single serving ones?TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggimeggi Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 If you don't find any foil ramekins, how about lining your ceramic ones with foil, cooking your goodies, cooling then freezing the whole thing and then flipping out the foil covered desert and recovering your ceramic dish for the next batch. Sorry if I am telling my grandmother how to suck eggs.[Www] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony F Dordogne Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 Miggimeggi, many thanks for the idea, no, not teaching grannier anything and it sounds like a good idea.My other idea was to buy a couple of those flexible muffin moulds, make the ramekin size things in them and then turn them out into recycled ice cream containers. But it still leaves the how to freeze them and in what question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Would the small flan cases be any good ? http://www.lakelandlimited.co.uk/product.aspx/!2253_2252 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony F Dordogne Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 Hi GaySeen them in Weldon and Champion in St Cyprien but I'm not sure thast they are deep enough - though they are relatively inexpensive if I'm having a big bake.I'll get some and see how whether they work.

Miggimeggi Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Hi,Well, so long as your ramekins will go in the freezer you freeze the food inside the foil lined ramekin , when it is frozen you remove it from the ramekin but still wrapped in the foil. It is now frozen and in a container of foil, just not as strong as the purpose made jobs. Pop it/them into a plastic bag and back into the freezer. When you want to serve them, strip off the foil and chuck away and they are ready shaped and sized to go back into the ramekins for reheating or whatever. Works for me![:D]Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patf Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Places like Pointvert sell a selection of foil containers, as well as kilner jars for preserving and all the gear to go with them. You might find the size you want there. Pat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Alfapak make tinfoil ramekins. You can get 12 for 1.34€ at Leclerc supermarkets. They are called "ramequins". Easy to remember! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
