Tasted great! Pretty easy to follow recipe. I wasn't sure if the water bath should be preheated. Another site said use boiling water so I did. Seemed to work well. Only my second time making creme brulee so I don't pretend to be an expert. They came out pretty well. The Bailey's flavor was on the subtle side. I will try increasing it by 50% next time. Also in some of mine I took Newman-Os without the filling and crushed them up and layered them on the bottom. Tasted pretty good. I bought a big blow torch at a hardware store for $25 including propane. Seems better than the small kitchen torch I used to have. Just don't turn it upside down while using.

I hail from Wisconsin...God's Country. Where the air is clean, the scenery beatiful and the people are friendly. Come visit me! I am self-employed so I have a lot of time for my two favorite hobbies....motorcycling and cooking. We logged 21,000 miles last year. We entertain our 7 children and their families frequently so we BBQ alot. I love all type of cookbooks...but, especially regional church or organizational cookbooks...they know how to cook!! I love "peasant food"....meat, potatoes, etc. and chocolate. I am allergic to broccoli (even tho' I love it) . This site is awesome....some great cooks hang out here!
