It's just one more example of boundless pedantry, thoroughly Bretish.
you could, but, it's nicer with the ramekins because each guest get's there ownIF it is just for you and someone else? Could be okJust remember, you have to use a water bath, and that means setting the pie plate into a pan of hot water in the ovenThis could be tricky, the higher the pan the betterGlass pyrex cups will work tooThose are oven proofYou could go to market and see if they have any individual foil cupsjust a thoughtI m a chef and used to cook creme brulee all the time, it can be tricky, but it's sooo good to eat! tips: put the pie plate empty into the water bath in the oven, fill the pan with the creme brulee mixture that is in a pitcher, or use a ladel to ladel the mix in the pie pan, otherwise, you may get some spillagegood luck.
