Ramekin, no not Rapunzel or Rumplestiltskin or Rasputin but Ramekin a Pyrex ramekin

I do not own not even 1 of these pyex dishes , but one of my friends does and I was fortunate enough to eat a delightful desert out of my friend's ramekin when we went for a meal just before Christmas.

So what is a Pyrex ramekin?

Pyrex ramekins must come in 2 or 3 slightly different designs the picture here for a white pyrex one but the Ramekin I am most familiar with is a clear glass one with fluted straight sides. The diameter is 9.5cm and the depth is 4cm.
Our dessert looked very attractive through the see through glass walls. Our dessert had come straight out of the fridge in this Ramekin . It could have come straight our of the freezer or cooker as the borosilicate glass that pyrex is made from can with stand both freezing and temperatures up to 300 c. however we were having a cold dessert.
My friends have had their Ramekins for a long time. I they had them for a wedding present (I did ask) and they have been married 20 something years now . So these Ramekins like other Pyrex dishes do last a long time .
Hoew easy are they to clean well ok will be fine washed in the dishwasher or by hand , but beware baked on food is difficult to move from those fluted edhes not impossible just needs elbow grease . The glass does not stain with colours of the precious meal .
You can still by Ramekind look on line I did and they cost £2.49 each in the sale at http://www.cookinstyle.co.uk/default.aspx?act=Upro d_C3_S53_P1174 usually £2.99 . I expect you can buy them at other on and off line shops too .
Pyrex coolingf diashes have been available for a long time A glass similar tio that used in light bulbs is used. I am sure pyrex products will be made for many more years too. I bet nearly every household in Britain has or knows someone who has a pyrex product .
Would I recommend these Ramekins ? Well yes if you eat lots of small individual desserts
