What Customers Ask About the Mini Ramekin Set
What colours are included in this rainbow set?
This set includes six vibrant colours: Cerise (deep red), Volcanic (orange-red), Nectar (sunshine yellow), Bamboo (fresh green), Azure (bright blue), and Ultra Violet (purple). Each egg cup is a different colour, creating a cheerful rainbow display at the breakfast table.
What does 100ml capacity mean for practical use?
100ml is approximately 3.5 fluid ounces - ideal for individual portions. This size suits single servings of crème brûlée, chocolate mousse, dips, sauces, or condiments. It's roughly equivalent to a small coffee cup's capacity. The 'mini' size makes these perfect for tapas-style serving or portion-controlled desserts.
Can I use these for baking crème brûlée?
Yes, these mini ramekins are perfect for crème brûlée. The 100ml capacity is ideal for individual portions. The stoneware is oven-safe to 260°C and grill-safe (maintain 6.5cm gap from heating element) for caramelising the sugar topping. The even temperature maintenance helps achieve smooth, evenly cooked custard.
Are these dishwasher safe?
Yes, Le Creuset stoneware is dishwasher-safe for full cycles. However, we recommend hand-washing to preserve the glaze's lustre over time. The small size makes hand-washing quick - these ramekins are easy to clean due to their smooth glazed surface.
Can I use these in the microwave?
Yes, the stoneware is microwave-safe. The 100ml size is convenient for reheating individual portions, warming dips, or melting butter. The stoneware heats evenly in the microwave and the ramekins will be hot when removed, so use care when handling.

Care & Use Instructions
Before first use: Remove all labels and packaging. Wash the ramekins in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
For baking: The ramekins are oven-safe to 260°C, perfect for crème brûlée, chocolate fondant, soufflés, or individual portions of baked puddings. Butter the insides for desserts that need to be turned out. The stoneware maintains even temperature, promoting consistent baking results. Always use oven gloves when handling hot ramekins.
For grilling/brûléeing: The ramekins are grill-safe for caramelising sugar toppings on crème brûlée or finishing gratins. Maintain at least 6.5cm gap between the top of the ramekin and the heating element to prevent thermal shock. Use a kitchen blowtorch as an alternative for better control when caramelising sugar.
Thermal shock prevention: Don't place frozen ramekins directly into a preheated oven. Instead, place them in a cold oven and allow both to heat together. When adding liquid to hot ramekins in the oven, remove them first and allow to cool for a few minutes.
For serving: These versatile mini ramekins work beautifully for dips, condiments, small salads, tapas portions, or individual desserts. The 100ml capacity is ideal for hummus, salsa, aioli, olives, nuts, or small portions of ice cream or mousse. The Rainbow Collection colours add visual interest to cheese boards or sharing platters.
Microwave use: Safe for reheating individual portions or melting butter. The ramekins will be hot when removed, so handle with care.
Cleaning: Allow ramekins to cool before washing. For baked-on food, soak in warm, soapy water for 15-20 minutes before washing. The glazed surface resists staining but prompt cleaning prevents buildup. Whilst dishwasher-safe, we recommend hand-washing to preserve the glaze's lustre. The compact size makes hand-washing quick. Dry thoroughly before storing.
Storage: Stack carefully with paper towels or soft cloth between ramekins to protect glazed surfaces. Store in a cupboard ensuring they're completely dry. The gift box can be reused for storage if you have space.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I've used it and don't like it?
Return it anyway. Our no quibble guarantee covers used items - if it doesn't do what you wanted, we'll refund you. This applies even after you've used them.
How does the Half-Price Replacement guarantee work?
Valid for 2 years from purchase date. If you accidentally break items from this set, we'll replace them at half price with proof of purchase and evidence of breakage. Photos of the damage are acceptable.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery to mainland UK addresses can take up to 7 working days, but is usually 3-4, and is free for orders over £49. Next day delivery may be available for £9.95 on orders placed before 1pm Monday to Thursday, depending on your location and our stock levels. You can also collect from our shops in Cobham or Reigate, or our warehouse in Redhill.
Can I buy individual ramekins or only as a set?
This product is sold as a complete set of 6 mini ramekins in the gift box. If you're looking for individual ramekins or different sizes, check our Le Creuset stoneware range for other ramekin options, though the Rainbow Collection set is specifically designed as a coordinated six-piece gift set.
Can I use these for soufflés?
Yes, these mini ramekins work for individual soufflés. The 100ml capacity is suitable for single-serving soufflés, though they're quite small - you'd get delicate, elegant portions. The straight sides typical of ramekins help soufflés rise properly. Butter and sugar the insides before filling for best results.
What's the difference between these and standard ramekins?
These are 'mini' ramekins at 100ml capacity. Standard ramekins are typically 150-250ml. The mini size is perfect for smaller portions, tapas-style serving, condiments, or when you want to offer variety. They're more versatile for non-baking uses than larger ramekins due to their compact size.
Can I stack these for storage?
Yes, ramekins typically stack well for compact storage. However, place paper towels or soft cloth between them to protect the glazed surfaces from scratching or chipping during storage. Ensure they're completely dry before stacking to prevent moisture issues.
Are these suitable for freezing individual portions?
Yes, the stoneware is freezer-compatible. You can freeze prepared portions in the ramekins. However, remember thermal shock guidance - don't place frozen ramekins in a preheated oven. Instead, place in a cold oven and allow both to heat together, or defrost before baking.
How do I get food out if I've baked something to turn out?
Butter the ramekin thoroughly before filling for desserts that need turning out (like chocolate fondant or mini cakes). After baking, cool slightly, run a knife around the edge, then invert onto a plate. The buttering plus slight cooling should allow clean release. The smooth glazed surface helps with release compared to unglazed ceramics.
