Yanco CB-6 Accessories Chinaware 6 oz Crème Brulee Dish, American White — Case of 36 (3 dz)

The CB-6 is a creme brulee dish in the proportion the dessert requires: six inches long, four wide, just an inch and a quarter deep. Six ounces of custard spread that thin sets evenly in a water bath and gives a torch or salamander a broad surface to caramelise, which is where the sugar crust comes from.

Depth works against this dessert. A tall, narrow vessel leaves a cold centre under a scorched top; a shallow oval does not. The American white chinaware body tolerates both the oven and the blowtorch, then goes through a dishwasher. The same shape handles a baked egg, a small gratin or a shallow savoury tart.
