  1. I took the liberty to adopt this wonderful recipe to Instant Pot (it's a popular pressure cooker). If you've got one, cover the ramekins with foil, stack them into your Instant Pot, add a cup of water, high-pressure cook for 9 minutes, valve-release the pressure, and you are done. Quite a bit of time and energy saved.

  2. This is my second time making this recipe, the first time it was nice but I used the vanilla bean paste… It is not really as visually appealing as extract. The taste however, was not affected.

    My biggest tip is I didn’t think I had enough sugar in for the caramel sauce the first time… The fact of the matter is I did…but I didn’t cook it long enough. Don’t be afraid like Chef John says, just keep moving the pan and it won’t burn! You have plenty of sauce for 3 portions with half a cup of sugar!

    Thank you Chef John!!!!

  3. Btw, you can neutralize sour cream with baking soda to make it less sour, but if you neutralize all the acid, it will go runny, but you can rebeat it again, but it won't hold it's whip anymore.
    In some recipes demanding heavy cream or creme fraiche, you can get away with adding some baking soda to sour cream and mixing it until dissolved. It will make it slightly salty, so leave out some of the salt in the recipe.

  4. I'm a great fan of Chef John, but I do have some negatives to point out. First, the size ramekin he suggests is about twice the size you should use. Ends up being more like a pancake than a flan. Second, the use of the creme fraiche is, in my humble opinion, not wise. Besides the fact that it will cost you about eight bucks for a cup of the stuff, it adds a kind of off flavor that had my guests kind of wrinkling up their noses. Like, what's in here? Not good. Go with a more traditional recipe.
