Thank you, Emily. It turned out absolutely perfect! I used 2 six ounce and 2 nine ounce custard cups and a two cup glass bowl, since those were the only things available for me [the recipe made 3 cups of uncooked product]. I had to cook the bowl of custard a couple minutes longer than the rest, since there was more custard in that one. It all turned out great; and so much easier (and faster) than baking in the conventional oven. I will be using this recipe on a regular basis. Thank you so much.
