- Kapag nailagay mo na lahat ng mixture, ay ihanda na ang pausukan or steamer na paglulutuan ng leche flan. Kapag kumkulo na ang tubig ng steamer ay isalang na ang mga leche flan cups. Takpan ng tela ang ibabaw ng steamer at saka takpan. Pausukan ito sa loob ng 5 to 8 minuto gamit ang pinaka-mababang apoy. Makaraan ang limang minuto ay icheck kung luto na ang flan, kumuha ng toothpick at itusok sa gitna ng flan, kapag walang nanikit sa gilid ng toothpick ay luto na ito. Maari mo ng patayin ang apoy.
