Ramekins & Deli Cups as Water Bowls

[starmom]

I use ramekins and other crocks for water. I didn't use to use the inserts, but it became such a LONG drawn out process to give water, I had to switch (imagine an hour just to do water??- Yeah...)

I do plan on recycling them for sure though, as I do have a guilty concience when it comes to the planet.. Save it for the children!!

Heather, my 4 grandchildren, and my future grandchildren and great grandchildren, love you!

Yea Ed!!!!! Doing your part!!!!
But it still takes a lot of energy to make them and the plants put out a lot of pollution. We breath all of that pollution that we have outsourced to China. Remember, air currents travel round the globe....so I'll stick with washing.....

yeah it's reduce, reuse, recycle in that order
if you have a lot of dishes, just invest in a dishwasher

Do ramekins hold water well? It seems some of my other ceramic water bowls allow water to seep out of the bottom. Sometimes when I pick up the ceramic bowls, there is a little water trapped under the bowl. Thanks.

My ramekins have had no problems... I'm assuming you have some cracked ones??

I have 22 Ramekins in use and all of them are perfect. These are the white ones- like for creme brulee. They're great. Hmmm, now I feel like making creme brulee.... darn.

....Booooooooo....I know everyone uses them...but buy bowls, wash them, and reuse them....help the environment out that much more....is it neccessary to create that much waste just for a water bowl....?

I know I may get flamed, and I have visited breeders with a large number of snakes...and understand the 'convenience' but can you imagine all the little plastic deli cups the herp world goes thru just to get out of washing a water bowl?


....too me....silly.

Should we stop using paper towels too?

Justin- using less paper towels is a good idea though we are talking about using a petroleum by-product that introduces a lot of pollution into the air and is just another bunch of plastic that (usually) ends up in our landfills.
It is not out of the question to remember things like this. In my opinion, you're being a little troll with your comment. Please take it to the QT.

I don't think they are cracked. They all do it. The only thing that I can think of is that I put them in the dishwasher when I first got them. Maybe the hot water made them less likely to hold water. It is not a lot of water under them, but it is there, and I have to move them around so that they do not sit in one place for too long. I change water ever two days, so I just shuffle them from each side of the tub during water change.

I get the 4 oz ones, they said its the ones that you melt butter in.
