I'm wondering about flan too... My mom is practically famous for hers. I just got the recipe for it and made it for Christmas. It tasted great, but there was a bit of a problem. My mom says hers only takes about an hour or so to cook... Mine took around 3 hours!!! Tell me, do you think this could because of the size of our pans, or because I live in the mountains (the elevation might change things)? Oh well, it still tasted great!
