Question: what is the difference between creme brulee and creme caramel?
Answer: Crème caramel is a baked custard that's cooked in a caramel-lined ramekin; crème brûlée is a baked custard that's topped with a sheer, crackly layer of caramelized sugar; and pot de crème is, well, a baked custard. Same technique, but different results.
