Disposable paper ramekins?
-
Post #1 - July 29th, 2008, 11:19 amDoes anyone know of a local source for disposable paper ramekins or something similar? I want to make individual mini casseroles for a large crowd. I believe I know where to get foil ones, but the recipe uses lemon juice and I'm afraid that will create off flavors.
The cups need to stand up to 20 minutes of baking at 350 degrees as well as contain some runny liquid. I do hope achieve some crustiness around the edges, too -- is that possible if the baking container doesn't conduct heat?
This is the kind of thing I think I'm looking for, but other ideas are welcome:

Post #2 - July 29th, 2008, 1:11 pmWhat about panettone molds? They are available in bulk at Sur La Table.

Post #3 - July 29th, 2008, 1:20 pmI have seen something similar at JoAnn with the Wilton products. They don't have that brown collar though.

Post #4 - July 29th, 2008, 5:55 pmThanks for the suggestions. I'm thinking that panettone molds aren't waterproof enough for what I need, since they're meant to hold fairly dry bread dough. I'll check out Joanne.
What I was hoping for would be the equivalent of the paper baking pans that some frozen foods come in.

Post #5 - July 30th, 2008, 6:03 amThere's a grocery store on Devon, west of Argo Bakery but east of Kedzie, I'm guessing around Rockwell or Campbell. North side of the street, on a northwest corner. Takes up two storefronts. The corner storefront is your basic neighborhood grocery stuff, the second storefront has a fairly extensive selection of disposable baking/serving dishes.
Sorry I can't be more precise about name or location, but should be easy enough to find.

Kamdar Plaza? Fresh Farms? Patel Brothers?

Do you mean New York Kosher at Francisco and Devon, across the street from Hashalom? They have a huge pile of foil baking pans in the window; they are a great convenience for kosher cooks who may need two of everything (one for meat, one for dairy). I am not sure whether they have what LAZ is looking for, but it might be worth a call there.

What about those foil cups Smoque uses for their mac and cheese? Why not ask them where they buy them or perhaps they will sell you what you need.

I saw your comments on the lemon juice. Do you really think it will be a problem? What if you tucked a cupcake liner inside as a barrier?

I'm afraid that a cupcake liner would soak up the lemon juice.
I've had acidic foods, like tomatoes, eat holes in aluminum pans. I'm glad to know it's safe to eat, but isn't very aesthetic. Reynolds used to make disposables called Pot Lux that would work for this, but they've been discontinued.
This is from the Reynolds web site.Occasionally when aluminum foil comes in contact with a different metal or a food that is highly salted or acidic, small pinholes are formed in the foil. This is a harmless reaction that does not affect the safety of the food. It is difficult to predict, but may occur under the following conditions:
1. When aluminum and a dissimilar metal are in contact in the presence of moisture, an electrolytic reaction may occur causing a breakdown of the aluminum. To avoid this use aluminum, glass, ceramic, plastic or paper containers. Do not cover sterling silver, silverplate, stainless steel or iron utensils with aluminum foil.
2. A similar reaction may occur when salt, vinegar, highly acidic foods or highly spiced foods come in contact with aluminum foil. The result of these reactions is a harmless aluminum salt. Some aluminum salts are used in medicines to treat stomach disorders. The food can be safely eaten; however, the aluminum salt particles can be removed from the food to improve the appearance of the food.

Yes, Eva, I think that's the place. Away from the window, nearer the back of the store, I recall that they had sturdier paper goods that might work for LAZ.

Post #12 - July 31st, 2008, 7:03 pmI would use paper souffle cups, which are available at Krasny on Clybourn, tucked into muffin tins. They may even be sturdy enough to stand up themselves in the often. Give one a shot and if not, tuck the cups into the muffin cups.

Post #16 - August 12th, 2008, 1:15 pmThanks for the suggestions. Ultimately, I decided to go family style as less hassle and expense, and divided it up into Pyrex pie plates, one per table.
