Is there a special name for a ramekin?

*crikey*mate* — Sat, 14 Dec 2013 09:43:31 GMT

just little bowls to put your mustards and sauces etc in for on the dinner table?

I've got a white dinner set with gold edges, and trying to find matching dishes etc - I just know them as ramekins, but is there a special name?

Thanks

I thought ramekins were small round ceramic dishes that you bake individual deserts (creme brulee) and stuff in, in the oven.

Mustard - usually mustard pots with a tiny spoon, do people put it in small bowls now?

Sauce, they do make small shallow bowls for that.

You would want something more bowl shaped than a ramekin wouldn't you?

Not sure. Do you want small individual bowls (as used in Asian cuisine)?

There are some listed under 'sauce boat.' and some under 'gravy boat' but I don't know if the are exactly what you are looking for. They are an oval shape with a handle and pouring lip
