These are great for a wide variety of uses and in this great red color they are very cute too! Cute, practical and useful - how good can they get!
They are perfect to use for this recipe:
MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CAKES
For best results, use a dark baking chocolate with high cocoa butter content (about 30 percent)

Individual Ramekins Hold Three Ounces,

Le Creuset has redesigned their ramekin line so that there are now attractive ridges encircling the pots rather than the vertical ridges that are usually found on other ramekins. These horizontal ridges make the ramekins very easy-to-handle when placing them in the oven or when removing them. This three-ounce size is very small. Be sure to check your recipe in advance to see what size ramekin is needed. Many recipes vary in terms of size requirements. I have found this size is perfect for most desserts, such as crème brulée, flan, chocolate mousse, or a deep-dish fruit tart.

Absolutely Adorable Ramekins,

I can't wait to find more recipes for these terrific ramekins! I was a little concerned at first that the may be too small; but, after trying the Molten Chocolate Cakes recipe, I am looking forward to using them again and again. If you are a chocolate lover, definitely try Mary Davis' recipe...they baked up beautifully; and, they had a perfect gooey center. The make-ahead feature is a winner. Easy to handle and to clean. I adore Le Creuset!!
