In 1850, Jacques Henry established a small pottery workshop in Marcigny, France. Harnessing the rich, local Burgundian clay, he laid the groundwork for a brand now celebrated not just in France, but across the globe.

The manufacturer remains steadfastly committed to its artisanal traditions, with each piece undergoing meticulous hand-inspection. Emile Henry products regularly grace culinary shows and interior design magazines, standing as a true symbol of French culinary heritage.

Emile Henry utilizes a special blend of natural clays, fired at temperatures exceeding a scorching 1200°C. This intense process imbues their ceramics and cookware with exceptional durability, making them truly stand the test of time.

• Ceradon® technology provides a hard glaze, allowing you to cut food directly in the dish without fear of scratching.

• HR® (High Resistance) technology ensures safe oven use, allowing dishes to go straight from the freezer to a hot oven without a second thought.

• Flame® technology enables direct use on gas/electric stovetops and even grills.

The hard glaze is scratch-resistant, non-porous (so no absorbed odors!), and a breeze to clean. Plus, the manufacturer assures us that popping them in the dishwasher is absolutely no problem at all.

Emile Henry offers dishes perfectly suited for baking artisan bread, comforting casseroles like lasagna, delicate tarts, savory quiches, and slow-cooked stews.

Cooking with Emile Henry is an absolute joy. Food cooks evenly, banishing those dreaded raw centers or burnt edges to the culinary history books. Heat accumulates gradually, ensuring:

• Casseroles and lasagnas emerge perfectly golden and bubbling.

• Bread develops a wonderfully crispy crust and a tender, airy crumb.

• Dishes stay piping hot for an impressive 30-60 minutes longer.

Depending on the model, Emile Henry dishes are suitable for the oven, microwave, and freezer, with Flame® lines also being stovetop-friendly.
