blueicus,
i top the brulee with the marinated raspberries...thanks for the input..will definately torch them to order...i guess i was just getting lazy..i got a 'culinary' torch, which is nothing more than a big lighter...pain in the butt and takes at leasts 5 minutes to carmelize...think it was made for them orange county wives! or for women that match...hey, how's it going for you in toronto? or was it montreal? where are you working? just getting our season started here..it will be interesting to see what happens with the economy being what it is...we definately live in a tourist town...ouch! have a great day
joey
also, rivver, if you make your creme brulee stovetop without baking it, doesn't that make it creme anglaise? how does it set up without being baked? and then how do you brulee it? or do you?
