    We made this for our Christmas dinner -- my 9 year old son got a kitchen torch for Christmas so we put it to use. This is a wonderful, easy recipe with superb results. The custard is creamy with a wonderful consistency; using the torch is really the way to go, as we have tried the broiler method before to rather disastrous results.

    I made this recipe based on the stellar reviews it received. I was disappointed. Although the consistency of the custard and crunchy topping was great, overall the taste was bland. Also, the recipe should tell you how to make vanilla sugar. I had to go look it up and was surprised to find it takes TWO DAYS to make. Considering that a single vanilla bean costs $11, this was a costly "experiment" and one I will not be repeating.

    This was the first time I made Creme Brulee and it tasted great! I didn't have a vanilla bean so I substituted if for 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and it came out perfect.

    This recipe is perfect and Alton Brown never ceases to amaze with his recipes. One might say that the chemistry to his cooking is faultless. Many thanks to Alton Brown and the Food Network.

    I like the amount of ingredients to this recipe. It does not come out too custardy, and can be adapted with other things, like Baileys or cocoa. This is a great base recipe and stands great as it is, as well.

    I tried this recipe after viewing an episode of Good Eats, and found it turned out just like is was supposed to turn out. The surprise was the great flavor and creamy consistency. I have made it for guests and it is wonderful. Also, not nearly as difficult as I had imagined.

    The flavors worked well together but the texture/consistency was not what I prefer, it was a bit to thin for my taste.

    Surprisingly easy to prepare for my boyfriend's birthday-- i had it set in the fridge the night before! All I had to do on the night I served it was sprinkle the sugar on top and let him do the torching, which he got a kick out of : Worth the time to make the vanilla sugar and use the bean instead of the extract. My boyfriend said it was the perfect consistency, as well-- soft but not liquid, and stuck to his upside-down spoon. Thanks for the recipe!
