They're called ramekins and they're actually awesome to have at home. If you have multiple items on a plate and only want a sauce on one they're perfect.

I make eggs in the microwave in a ramekin .... whip egg with fork, microwave for 30 seconds, stir in salt/pepper and shredded cheese (or whatever else you like), microwave for 30 more seconds. Eat. Also works in a coffee mug.

Sure you can! Try some ramekins. There has to be a pyrex you can nestle in that thing.

Try these:

Oh god, yes :P. The current things we use to hold sauces are... well, honestly, they're just little plates much more fit for being ashtrays than shoyu bowls. Ramikens would help out a lot!

Ramekins are really cheap so it wouldn't be a bad idea to get a set. (They're super-versatile and can handle ovens, freezers, and dishwashers!) If you want something close to fool-proof that will definitely look presentable, that's your best bet.

If you want to try this in a full-size pie pan, you can try modifying your pumpkin pie filling recipe a bit. (My concern is that the slices will get a little wobbly and won't hold their shape when you cut them.) Adding an extra egg and reducing the amount of liquid could do the trick, but you may need to do a little troubleshooting.

If she cooks, I can think of a few things for the kitchen.

• Roasting pan.
  
  
• Ramikens.
  
  
• Rasp.
  
  
• Recipe box.
  
  Or even food like rotini or raspberry jam.
  
  

This is a basic list with mid-grade item recommendations as links. You can definitely shop around and find better deals, but this will give you a place to start your shopping excursion from. Considering hitting up a local restaurant supply store for really good deals.

• Basic Tools:
  
• Cutting board (get at least 2, more are better, get the larger sized ones if you have the counter space)
  
• Chef's Knife
  
• Paring Knife
  
• Mixing Bowls (alternatively)
  
• Wooden Spoon
  
• Silicone Spatula
  
• Whisk
  
• Hand Towels (can be used as pot holders if you're careful and layer them up thickly. Watch out for the gas flame if you have a gas cook top.)
  
• Pepper Grinder
  
• Ramekins (for mise en place -- aka stuff you're working with as you cook like salt, spices, other small ingredients)
  
• Pots & Pans:
  
• Stock Pot
  
• Sauce Pan
  
• Skillet
  
• Cast Iron Skillet (optional ; make sure you learn how to care for cast iron - no soap ever, etc.)
  
• Non Stick Skillet (optional)
  
• Bakeware:
  
• Half sheet pans / Cookie Sheets (get 2 or more)
  
• Cooling Racks (these should fit in the cookie sheets)
  
• Cake Pans
  
• Loaf Pan
  
• Small Pyrex casserole
  
• Large Pyrex casserole
  

I would add a teaspoon of water to each egg cup and then find a sheet pan that fits as a semi-tight lid. The steam will cook the top of the eggs.

I have ceramic ramekins and the ones for my wife I put a plate over, with the water with the egg.

A suggestion for ramekins. 4oz but you can also find larger and smaller cups on Amazon
