The use of a classical (not non-stick) pan is quite important, because all the cooking will be done one by one in the same pan, to be able to take advantage of the juices and tastes of cooking of the previous one.
Keeping: Several days in the refrigerator, in a closed or filmed container.

Crème brulée
Crème brûlée (burned cream) is quite easy to prepare: it's a simple egg-cream dessert. The only difficulty is in making the delicious crunchy caramel layer on top. The perfect crème brulée (for me) is a cold and soft cream, with on top a nice hot caramel crust. This is a completely new version of the former recipe, with video.
