What is custard pan?

A custard pan is a round, shallow dish with straight sides that is traditionally used for baking custards. Custards are egg-based desserts that are typically made with milk, sugar, and flavourings such as vanilla or chocolate. The custard is poured into the pan and baked in a water bath, which helps to create a smooth and creamy texture. Custard pans can also be used for making other desserts, such as crème brûlée and panna cotta, as well as savoury dishes such as quiches and frittatas. Custard pans are usually made of ceramic, glass, or metal and come in a variety of sizes.
