Equipment

  • - Stainless Steel Saucepan (Ideal for heating milk and making custard sauces due to its even heat distribution.)

  • - Mixing Bowls (2) (One bowl for combining ingredients, another for final mixing or whisking of the custard.)

  • - Whisk (Essential for blending eggs with the milk mixture smoothly in the preparation of custard sauce.)

  • - Medium-sized Strainer (Useful for removing any lumps from your custard to ensure a smooth texture.)

  • - Measuring Cups and Spoons (Accurate measurements are crucial in baking, including making vanilla custard sauce.)

  • - Kitchen Thermometer (To monitor the milk's temperature precisely when heating it for the custard sauce.)

  • - Pastry Brush (Optional, for brushing vanilla bean or flavoring on ramekins if you're making individual portions of custard with caramelized sugar atop.)

  • - Silicone Ice Cream Scoop (Not directly used in the sauce but useful for serving the finished custard.)
