glazed). Though they can be used interchangeably, there are a few differences between ramekins and custard cups that you should be aware of. If you're planning to buy dishes for entertaining or a particular recipe you like to make, than you'll likely be interested in custard cups. If your interest in ramekins and custard cups is to round out your
cookware collection or just for general use, you may find ramekins are the better choice for you.
Custard Cups
Custard cups have one primary purpose, and that for cooking and serving
differently shaped custard cups. As the name suggests, custard cups are mostly used for custards (which are cooked in the dish) or desserts (like
pudding or
jello). These are best for the
baking aficionado or serious cook.
Ramekins
Ramekins are far more versatile than custard cups. Not only can they act as a custard cup (in most cases), but they can serve additional purposes as well. Ramekins are often used for dry or raw food, like
custard.
