5. Place tin in a large saucepan then add enough water to reach half way up the tin. Cover with a lid that lets the vapor out..
6. Boil for around 20/25 minutes. Carefully add boiling water to the pan when needed. Do not go above half way up the tin. Also keep checking that its done it may take less time or slightly longer. For me it depends on which saucepan or tin I'm using..
7. Remove tin from the saucepan. Let it cool completely before trying to remove it from the tin..

The strainer will catch little bits of egg that you don't want in your flan. Using a larger pan that the pie plate will fit in, fill half way with the boiling water, place in oven, and then place pie plate in the middle of the large pan.
