Cooking Tips

Cook until knife inserted near center comes out clean:
Baked custard mixtures are done when a metal knife inserted off center comes out clean. The very centre still may not be quite done, but the heat retained in the mixture will continue to cook it after removal from the oven. Cooking longer may result in a curdled or a weeping custard. Cooking a shorter period may result in a thickened but not set custard. View all the cooking tips >
