I've done it several hours earlier.... - SallyBR - 11:27am on 01/18/17
Part of the joy of creme brulee for me is the contrast between the hot/warm crunch of the topping - KarenNoCA - 11:31am on 01/18/17

You can do ahead, but like Karen I love the contrast of the hot crunchy top and cool custard. [NT] - LisainLA - 12:00am on 01/19/17

How soon after it comes out of the oven, do you cararmelize? [NT] - oli - 11:40am on 01/20/17

I always thought it had to be cold? You want the cold custard versus the hard shell of the sugar - MarilynFL - 11:57am on 01/20/17

That's how I have always done mine, so it caught my attention to have the contrast - oli - 1:54pm on 01/20/17

I used chips, they melted just fine, but it is obvious it needs thinning to flow. [NT] - oli - 10:51am on 02/06/17

29413. ISO lemon advice. Everything I make seems so wimpy. Need that intense lemon - cheezz - 11:54am on 02/07/17 (11)

You could try picking less yellow lemons (like less ripe). . . - mistral - 12:30pm on 02/07/17

What kind of lemons are you using? Try Meyers. - MariaDNoCA - 5:32pm on 02/07/17

Meyers are not a true lemon but a cross between a standard lemon and mandarin orange - KarenNoCA - 7:06pm on 02/07/17

I mentioned to try Myers because the zest seems oilier, and the flavor more intense - MariaDNoCA - 9:43pm on 02/07/17
