    Although I’m a fan of crème caramel as bought in a supermarket pack of 6 it was not until recently that a friends son informed me that there was a foil tag on the bottom that when you pulled it the crème caramel would drop out! Who knew this fact? Why did I not have a clue?!! :oops::p

  4. You probably would have found it if you hadn’t been so eager to scoff it all down :lol:

  5. I'm not familiar with creme caramel - what benefit is gained from it dropping out of the bottom of the container?

    No scraping the barrell at the end for all of the last bits?

    You sound like a man who has been round the creme caramel block a few times and knows what he’s talking about :hattip:

  9. I didn’t know that
    But I do know that if you turn a tin of Heinz beans upside down then open with a tin opener
    Put it in the pan open side down pull the tab up enough to let the air in
    Lift the tin out slowly
    And then all the beanies come out easy without frantically shaking the tin or trying to get the last 9 out :)

    That sounds like a lot more work than shaking the can tbh!

    If you put a small piece of crisp packet into a socket,before putting the nut in,it won’t fall out,if the socket is on a long extension bar, and you can’t hold it to stop it from happening…
    Any help..?

    I remember visiting my old dad and he put a can of sardines in a pan of boiling water without opening it in any way.
    I suggested it might explode. No chance, said he, done it hundreds of times. :eek:
     
  17. Remember when we had those
    Heinz sponge pudding’s in the tin ?
    Jam / treacle etc
    Wonderful things :)
