How to cure terracotta ramekin

To get the most out of your ramekins, it is recommended you cure terracotta and earthenware items. To do so, simply soak your terracotta in cold water for 24 hours. When baking, place them in a cold oven and gradually bring up the heat to the desired temperature to avoid shocking the material and risking cracking. For the perfectly cooked custards and soufflés, a gentle bain-marie or water bath will give you the perfect results.
