Traditionally circular with a fluted exterior, ramekins can also be found in novelty shapes, such as flowers or hearts. Ramekins are built to withstand high temperatures, as they are frequently used in ovens, or in the case of crème brûlée, exposed to the flare of a cooking torch. The name "Ramekin" is shared with the name of a cheese dish including bread crumbs and eggs, and is derived from the German ramken.
