Flan cracks when you stress it out. Sudden temperature changes make it panic.
Do not open the oven door every two minutes. That lets out heat and creates drama. Your flan will wrinkle in protest.
Wait until the timer is close. Then peek with a gentle hand. Treat it like a sleeping cat—don’t startle it.
The Wobble Scale
Let’s rate the wobble. Use this highly scientific scale:
Level 1: Tsunami. Sloshes violently. Not done.
Level 2: Jellyfish. Gentle wave, firm edges. Perfect.
Level 3: Rock. No movement at all. Overcooked.
Shoot for Level 2. Your dessert will thank you.
