Hi Ishi, you don’t put a knife into them - to test bake according to the recipe and do the ‘wobble test’. And yes, they need to be refrigerated after cooked and cooled - for 4-6 hours, or even a few days.

Your oven is too hot mate… that’s why your getting bubbling… keep your oven under 100 and be patient, you’ll get a much more gentle custard if the proteins slowly combine.
Also fewer eggs the better… 5 eggs will definately set your custard but will also give you a bullet. The minimum needed to set a custard is 1 egg for 250ml (about 1 cup) or 3 egg yolks… I prefer the yolks, as this (although still a little slower to set) will give you a much silkier, richer custard (therefore no need for cream).

Don’t mean to tell you guys you’re doing it wrong, but try adding some patience into this and you’ll get a beautiful texture.

i just watched like 2/3 of the whole podcast collection. i enjoyed it and find it worth my time. thought the constant talk over each other did get to me at times. reckon it might be due to me watching like several episodes in a row. but keep it up! not the talk over each other but the vid podcast. (:

I tried this just today, but it did take forever to cook. And the caramel did smell… A bit.. Weird for me. Anyways. Thanks for the video guys.

JohnnyFox, what happens to the cling film in the oven? Doesn’t it melt, burn or at the least impart a plasticky yukness to the pudding?

My ‘handy tip’ would be to line each ramekin with a circle of cling film lightly wetted on the ramekin side, and pour the custard and caramel into that.

It can give a slightly wrinkly skin surface to the sides of the flan, but you can tell people it’s a deliberate effect

Great video — been looking forward to a new one. You guys should come to Macau, as well as your favourite egg tarts, creme caramel is on just about every menu — another legacy of the Portuguese era. it is so populare that it is simply called “Pudim”.

Cheers!

I’ve never really liked flan, and I don’t know why! Still, I wish I liked it. It always looks like something I should enjoy.

Thanks for the video!
