2 cups whole milk 2 whole eggs 1 vanilla pod, split lengthwise and seeded 4 egg yolks 1 cup superfine sugar in the slow cooker   PREP 15 MINS, PLUS INFUSING AND CHILLING COOK 25 MINS PRECOOKING; AUTO/LOW 3–4 HRS Preheat the slow cooker, if required. Pour the milk into a heavy-based pan, add the vanilla pod, and very gently bring almost to a boil. Turn off the heat, cover the pan with the lid, and leave for 20 minutes. This is to give the vanilla pod time to infuse the milk while it cools. Add half of the sugar to another heavy-based pan, then pour in 5 tablespoons of cold water. Slowly bring to a boil, swirling it around the pan occasionally to ensure all the sugar has dissolved, then boil for about 15 minutes, until the liquid turns a dark golden caramel. Pour this into six 5fl oz (150ml) ramekins, or use larger ones if making fewer crème caramels. Put the remaining sugar with the eggs and egg yolks into a bowl and w...
