Puerto Rican Flan Custard

You will need:

11" Lifetime® Cookware oil core skillet with dome cover
Utility rack
Double boiler insert
1 quart vegetable unit
1/2 cup sugar (for caramel)
12-oz. can evaporated milk
12-oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1t vanilla
6 eggs

  • Prepare 11" skillet by filling it halfway to the top with water. Place the utility rack
    on the lip of the skillet. Preheat to 375 degrees.
  • Make caramel in the 1 quart unit by melting the sugar at medium heat. Stir until
    the sugar turns light brown. Pour the melted sugar into the double boiler insert.
  • Mix the milk with the vanilla. Mix eggs briefly and add to the milk mixture. Slowly
    add milk mixture to the double boiler (to about 1" height).
  • Put the double boiler insert on top of the rack in the electric skillet. Cover with dome
    cover and cook until the cover is hot; reduce the heat and cook for about 15 minutes. 
  • When a toothpick inserted into the center of the flan comes out clean, it is done
    cooking. Invert onto a plate and serve. Delicious!
