Re: (...)
I guess I just missed Jean with this question. I haven't made her flan yet, I didn't have an ingredient I needed. Now I do, so I will make it today or tomorrow.
My question is: Do you eat flan cold, warm or hot?

Laura, alls I know is when we've had it in Mexico it's mostly been room temp. I guess so the carmelly stuff stays liquidy.

Makes sense. Didn't think of that. Okay.

The answer to your question Laura is, Yes!
Don't wait too long to tell someone you love them.

Great Billy. I didn't know if I had to serve this right away, hot out of the oven, or if it could/should wait to be served at a different temp.
Now I know... All of the above!

uh, at the bottom of the recipe it says -
"Remove to wire racks to cool for 30 min.; chill for several hours or overnight. To serve, run small spatula around edges of cups; gently shake flans to loosen. Invert onto serving dishes to serve."
do the same with one large one. If you run a knife around the edge, cover with a plate and invert, all the wonderful carmely goop will be like a frosting for the pie. Serve and eat it cold, well not ice cold, but not warmed at all.
You didn't miss me, Laura - I was working on Bill's dinner menu - boy did he pick a wordy one!

I don't know about Mexican flan, but Cuban flan is stored in the refrigerator. The caramel is still liquid. You can have it at room temp, but I prefer mine a bit colder. You would never have it warm. I think it improves after a day in the fridge.
