Plastic Pringle box lids fit perfectly onto Gu pots.
In this regard, are Gu pots microwavable?
Yes, GU Ramekins are oven safe. Some GU puddings are actually made to be heated in the oven before eating (although not the cheesecakes we’re so fond of!) so it’s fine to use these glass ramekins in the oven at home for cooking your own dishes.
Moreover, can you recycle Gu pots?
We do want to take this opportunity to let you know that our ramekins are made from 65% recycled glass and are 100% recyclable.
What can you do with old Gu pots?
Gu ramekins make an excellent sized dish for serving any type of condiment, whether it’s ketchup, mayo, sweet chilli, barbeque or any other type of sauce. You could also fill them with dips such as hummus, sour cream or salsa. Perfect for dipping nachos, pitta bread and vegetable crudites.
What do you use Gu jars for?
We use these for everything! Little water pots for when Wolf cub is painting. Ketchup/mayo for when you want to dip but you don’t want the items on your plate getting soggy. Keeping small items that need keeping e.g. small screws when you’re putting something together.
Why is it called a ramekin?
The term is derived from the French ramequin, a cheese- or meat-based dish baked in a small mould. The French term is in turn derived from early modern Dutch rammeken, which translated to ‘toast’ or ‘roasted minced meat’, itself apparently from ram ‘battering ram’ + -kin ‘diminutive’, but it is unclear why.
