Flan should look something like this. Set aside away from heat source to cool down for about 30-45 min. before flipping the flan. This gives caramel and flan time to cool and set a bit

Gently jiggle it a little bit to ensure flan is centered. WARNING: this may make a mess so be prepared. First time I did it, I did it over the sink and some caramel splattered on my wall

Now slowly remove the baking dish pulling upwards and ensuring the flan is staying on the plate. You may have to arrange the flan on the plate and clean up the sides.

This is the Media Crema you can use instead of the evaporated milk. I didn't picture it as it wasn't what I was using when making the flan.
