Alaska Air companion fare question - Alaska Forum. Alaska Air companion fare question. Many of you will recall that I got an Alaska Airlines credit card last year to take advantage of the $99 companion fare for our trip to Alaska a couple of months ago.
A ramekin (/ËrÃ¦mÉªkÉªn/, /ËrÃ¦mkÉªn/; also spelled ramequin) is a small glazed ceramic or glass bowl used for cooking and serving various dishes. The term is derived from French ramequin, originally a cheese- or meat-based dish baked in a small mold. The French term is derived from early modern Flemish rammeken, which translated to 'toast' or 'roasted minced meat', itself apparently from ram 'battering ram' + -kin 'diminutive', but it is unclear why.
Ramekins made their way into American kitchens as an innovative option to serve creme brulee and individual custards, such as flan. Since then, their popularity has increased for multiple uses in and out of the kitchen. Made of durable ceramic, tempered glass, melamine or porcelain, ramekins are oven-, dishwasher-, microwave- and freezer-safe.
