  5. Place dish in a large shallow pan. Add hot water to pan to a depth of 1/3 up sides of dish.
  6. Bake for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Remove dish from water bath; cool completely on a wire rack. Cover and chill at least 3 hours.
  7. Run a knife around edge of flan to loosen; invert onto a serving plate.
