I don't have a pudding bowl - what can be used instead?

I really fancy sticky toffee pudding after seeing the below recipe.

No pudding bowl though!

Is there any hope..?

Do you have a small-ish casserole dish?

TanselleTooTall · 21/05/2019 19:43

I have a lasagna dish and I have a rectangular ceramic dish about 30cm, x 20cm x 6cm high. I don't have anything else resembling a casserole dish.

(Tiny, tiny kitchen means I can only have literally one thing of the necessaries in my cupboardBlush)

Lasagne dish will work.

Source - fellow tiny kitchen user here! I made a cake mix in a measuring jug yesterday Grin mixing bowl not to be found in my kitchen and my stand mixer is in a box somewhere...

Hair cut!! Silly billy Grin

Ooh. Shall I attemp it in the lasagna dish, then. It is a deep one. The recipe doesn't call for the pudding to be steamed so technically any bakeware should do.

Go on SneakyGremlins, let's have a tiny kitchen competition. How many kitchen cupboards do you have..

Two! Grin

And one counter space area to prep food. I usually disinfect and cook on top of the freezer Grin

I thought of haircuts as well!!
But yes lasagne dish should be fine!
And now I want sticky toffee pudding!!!

ComeTheFuck0nBridget · 21/05/2019 21:31

I make puddings in just a normal kitchen bowl (the kind you'd use for cereal or what have you), I normally halve or third the recipe anyway as there are only two of us, so it fits

Husband’s cricket box?

Husband’s cricket box?

Better for savoury dishes I'd have thought?

Bloody hell SneakyGremlins you win hands down!

I have one cupboard under the sink for all the things under-the-sink-y, nothing else either side of that side of the kitchen. On the opposite side, I have two double door cupboards and then one single cupboard - the worktop covering theses 2.5. The tumble on the end of the single cupboard acts as more surface space.
I have two double door cupboards on the wall and that's it!
I dream of a larger house in which we have the luxury of spreading out. Grin

I am gonna so make toffee pudding tonight. What to serve it with...double cream, ice cream, custard, clotted cream. Important decisions.

I don't know what a cricket box is!

All of them. Obvs.

well, I used to have a tiny kitchen
one cupboard under the sink. Next to sink was washing machine, then one of those skinny half cupboards, and then cooker.
The work surface was the length of washing machine plus the half cupboard.

That was it!
Over the sink I had one double cupboard I think.

door at each end, and the other side was a flat wall. Very small galley kitchen.

I squeezed in quite a few shelves though, a couple of corner triangle ones between double wall cupboard and the window, and then long skinny shelves that went all along the wall behind. They were a life saver.
You couldn't have any food container that didn't fit on a 5" shelf!

steppemum · 22/05/2019 12:46

Oh and fridge stood in the living room, next door!

steppemum · 22/05/2019 13:02

remember that flat with fondness.

Back to topic, the pudding will taste best in the dish which is the most like a pudding bowl. that is small round but deeper, rather than wide and shallow.
You can use a mixing bowl, or even a cereal bowl as long as it is big enough and oven proof. A jug (as a pp suggested) may be better than a very flat dish.

and serve with clotted cream or ice cream, obviously Grin

Do you have a loaf tin?
