The Poterie line brings fans of Le Creuset yet more versatility. These handsome ceramic pieces can go from oven or microwave to table, and to freezer as well. These ramekins are able to take the intense heat of a broiler - oh so handy when you need to caramelize the top of your crEme brulEe.
These pretty little ramekins are a bit different in style than the traditional vertically rippled cups that look like miniature soufflé dishes. The tall, smooth sides are only interrupted by three horizontal ridges--it's a clean look, and actually makes them more practical. They're easier to grab from under the hot broiler and also easier to scrub clean after use--no more caramelized sugar trapped in the ripples! The smooth interior flares just slightly at the top to provide a broader surface area for that tasty top layer. Each ramekin holds up to 8 ounces when filled to the very brim, and goes easily from freezer to oven or microwave--terrific for make-ahead fruit crisps or cobblers. This two-pack is great for replenishing a broken set or as a stand-alone set for a couple. --Jill Lightner

Convenient and attractive for a busy lifestyle.:
This size is perfect size for small-individual portions of mac n' cheese, lasagna, cup of soup, apple crumble. Great for large families where everyone wants to eat something different and busy singles who would rather freeze for later than eat the same leftovers for a week. Divide the recipe into individual portions and refidgerate/freeze. Then just reheat as many portions as you need. This way you can make more dishes and have a variety in the freezer for later. Prep & Washup is simple... more info
Think "out of the box"{:
Fill the ramekin with a dip and place in a matching (coordinated) LeCreuset oval casserole dish filled with chips or veggies. Nice presentation.
Great Little Ramekins:
This are great for just about anything. I have used them for holding side dishes, creme brule and other foods. The blue looks great and helps to keep things cold/warm. The fact that they are 5 ounces is nice bacause they are just right size for most things.
