SOUS VIDE FLAN

Steps:

• Place a sous vide cooker inside a large heat-proof container filled with water. Preheat the water bath to 179 degrees F (82 degrees C).
• Melt sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat until browned, about 5 minutes. Pour hot melted sugar into eight 4 ounce Mason jars, enough to cover the bottom of each.
• Mix sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl. Add to the jars; seal.
• Place jars in the water bath and set timer for 1 hour.
• Remove jars from the water bath. Let flan cool until safe to handle, about 20 minutes.
• Unseal jars and run a small rubber spatula around the sides of the flan. Top each flan with a plate;invert and gently shake to release.

MICROWAVE FLAN

Steps:

• Heat 1 cup of sugar (dry) in a saucepan over medium heat. Do not stir until you start to see the sugar melting and bubbling. When the sugar is completely melted and golden brown, pour it into a 9 inch glass or ceramic pie plate and tilt to coat.
• In a large bowl, mix the milk, remaining sugar, vanilla and eggs until well blended. Pour into the pie plate.
• Cook in the microwave at 50% power for 7 minutes, then cook at 100% power for 8 minutes. A knife inserted into the center of the flan should come out clean when it is done. If it is not done after the 8 minutes, cook at one minute intervals, checking each time. Cool and refrigerate before serving.
• To serve, warm the bottom of the pie plate over a pan of simmering water to loosen the caramelized sugar. Place a serving plate on top of the dish, and invert so that the flan is on the serving dish and the caramelized coating is on top.
