Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know when custard is done?

Stovetop: coat the back of a spoon and draw a line — if it holds, it's ready (82°C/180°F). Baked: jiggle the pan; set edges with a wobbly center. Kitchen's Witch AI checks your custard texture with photo feedback.

What's the difference between custard and crème anglaise?

Crème anglaise is a pourable custard sauce (thinner). Baked custard is set firm with whole eggs. Both use egg yolks, sugar, milk/cream, and vanilla. Kitchen's Witch guides the exact ratios for each.
