Collection: Ramekins & Mini Cocottes

Ramekins and mini cocottes are incredibly versatile! You can use them for baking desserts like crème brûlée, soufflés, and molten lava cakes. They're also perfect for individual servings of mac and cheese, shepherd's pie, baked eggs, French onion soup, or cheesy dips. Mini gratins, bread puddings, and even chilled desserts like mousse or trifles work great too.

Yes, all our ramekins and mini cocottes are designed to be oven-safe. Depending on the material, they can usually withstand temperatures up to 450°F (232°C) or more. It's best to double-check your specific item's care instructions, but porcelain, stoneware, cast iron, and glass options in our collection all hold up well to baking and broiling temperatures.

Cleanup is simple! Most ramekins and mini cocottes have glazed, nonstick, or cast iron interiors that wipe clean easily. Many items in our collection are dishwasher-safe—just check the product details to be sure. For stubborn baked-on food, soaking in warm water first can help. Cast iron mini cocottes may need hand washing and re-oiling to maintain their finish.

Consider your favorite recipes and serving sizes. Standard ramekins range from 4 to 8 ounces—perfect for single desserts or appetizers. Larger mini cocottes (up to 12 ounces) are great for entrées like pot pies or baked pasta. Porcelain is elegant for desserts, stoneware is sturdy for hearty bakes, cast iron gives top-notch browning, and glass allows you to see layers as you bake.

Absolutely! One of the top benefits of ramekins and mini cocottes—especially those made from stoneware, cast iron, or thick porcelain—is excellent heat retention. Your food will stay hot longer when served straight from the oven to the table, perfect for dinner parties or buffets where you want everyone to enjoy their dish at the perfect temperature.
