In reply to Marian Waller. Hi Marian - yes, generally it's sold in the coffee section at the market.

Thanks Laila – so glad you’re enjoying pressure cooking and my recipes. Since they’re made in individual cups, you would not reduce the cook time when halving the recipe.

Would I need to adjust the time in the PC if I make half a recipe? I’m still a novice at pressure cooking, but everything I’ve tried is turning out wonderfully. Thanks for the great recipes and tips.

Thanks so much for this flan-I can’t wait to try it! As a side note, you can caramelize sugar in a microwave! One half cup water with one half cup sugar. Time depends on the wattage, anywhere from 6 minutes to 10. After six minutes you’ll need to watch as it turns color pretty fast. Use a Pyrex measure cup and some oven mitts! You can also scald milk in the microwave, about 4-5 minutes.

In reply to Ann. Thanks so much Ann. I don't have a chocolate custard recipe, but I should work on creating one. :)

In reply to Barbara Schieving. By the way, do you have a recipe for chocolate custard? I really appreciate your site and all your recipes. They make more sense than all the cookbooks I have bought and discarded!

In reply to Ann. OK, the canning jar lifter does not work. It can't grab the edge like it does on a canning jar. I cut a strip of silicone mate to use as a gripper between the ends of my regular metal tongs. It only takes one time to drop a cup of hot custard to learn this lesson - LOL!
