ramekins
Individual baking dishes
Ramekins are small, typically cylindrical ceramic dishes used for baking and serving individual portions.
They're the vessel of choice for crème brûlée, soufflés, and pot pies, designed to go from oven to table.
The thick walls distribute heat evenly and keep contents warm during serving.
