Tom Colicchio: "Mmmm, no bubbles."
Gail Simmons: "None at all. Super smooth."
Tom Colicchio: "Mama taught you well."
Max Halley: "For me, the flan keeps really well overnight and is perfect for a picnic."
Graham Hornigold: "Amar, your flan, brilliant exit to the meal. Beautifully cooked. Lovely little bits of pineapple. For me, I needed a little bit more sage and rum, but that's always just me. Yeah, just a touch more, but wonderfully executed.
Tom Colicchio: "It was a great version of flan was cooked at the right temperature. Some chefs would have turned up the heat, and then you get bubbles around the outside of it, and that's a fatal flaw to flan. So I thought you did a great job with that."
