Aluminum cups for creme brulee

[SF415HC]

Hi Everyone!

I'm planning to make creme brulee for Mother's Day and I'm having a difficult time finding 4 ounce aluminum cups in San Francisco. I've called many places without success and would appreciate if anyone can tell me where I could find these cups. Thanks!

Update, so no luck finding these aluminum cups. I did find something much nicer! Chef's Warehouse in SSF has some square porcelain dishes that comes in a set of 4 for only $2! Besides great prices, their customer service is wonderful. Anyway, thanks for everyone's suggestions and I hope everyone has delectable Mother's Day tomorrow!

FYI for next time:

I order from this company, a family run business, about once a year

to make and freeze
mini-quiches (I use the 5 x 1.25" tins) and
mini-pies (I use the 5.75 x 1.75 tins

)

in single-person servings.

Too late but maybe next year.

Is there some reason you need aluminum cups rather than the traditional ceramic?

I have also wanted to buy some so I can take brulee or custards to parties, etc. Or simply not have to wash!

I'm making at least 20 for Mother's Day and buying 20 ceramic ramekins would get very expensive for one event.

They're dirt cheap at restaurant supply stores. Have you tried Forest or Kamei?

[SF415HC]

Just called Forest, no luck there. Kamei, they didn't have time to check. Thanks Robert for the suggestions.

Did you ask for aluminum cups? I've never seen those, but most restaurant supply places have really cheap ceramic ramekins.
