Where Did You Get Your Ramekins?



Recommended Posts

Okay so I've spent the last 2 days looking at online shopping for ramekins and they are pretty hefty in price for decent looking ones so now I'm just curious where did you guys get your ramekins? I'm not so worried about price but I wanted to get a set of 4 or more if I could. So I'm just curious where you guys got yours. I'm going to go to Walmart later today and see if the only ones they have are the plain white ones. I don't mind those.

What's the thought process of ramekins? I am new on the forum and also a chef. Are you just wanting smaller containers. They sell small ASIC throwaways at the grocery store here in Vegas

Yeah basically. People like ramekins because often times they are stackable and they are not for storage or for throwing away. They sort of take the place of a bowl that you'd use probably daily but only in a smaller form to help maintain portion for.. ever. They also seem to be really helpful during your 6 week post-op processes.

I use a rice bowl. It is just the right size and easier to eat from than a ramekin.

I like this in star shape actually because I can pour Soup into my mouth easily when it gets low and spoon won't pick it up. Is actually super convenient. I already tried one lol.

They have tons of ramekins at TJ Maxx/ Home Goods for about 1.00 each.

Home Goods also sells sets of small nested bowls in a hard plastic or acrylic. I have two sets. they have measurements on the inside and a measure line. I think they start at 1 oz. I still use these each day and I am 6 months. they were a lifesaver for me soon after surgery since you don't have to measure first before you put something in them. $4.99 a set. I thinks there are five differentsizes in the set. I couldn't be without mine.

Umm... lots of places! Kind of depends on what I'm doing with them.

I have ones that coordinate with my dinnerware - I bought those at Target (even though my dinnerware didn't come from there). Sold per piece, not as a set.

I have some clear plastic ones - I use those for more casual meals, or to hold ingredients I will be using as I cook/bake. Those are from BBB. Also per piece.

I also have some black plastic ones that look like mortars - I use those pretty exclusively for holdoing salsas or "Mexican dinner" toppings (diced onion, cheese... for fajita night!). Also sold per piece.

I also have some pyrex ones for baking, from Target. Sold as a set of 2 or 4, can't remember.

And some ceramic ones from a local kitchen store. Sold per piece.

I guess I like my ramekins...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
