Know before you buy
Yes, Emile Henry's high-resistance ceramic is designed to withstand thermal shock, allowing you to transition from freezer to oven safely. However, it is always best practice to avoid extreme temperature changes if possible to preserve the longevity of the glaze.
This baker has a 3-quart capacity, which is typically ideal for preparing side dishes or main courses for 4 to 6 people. Its 11" x 8" dimensions make it a versatile size for standard casserole recipes.
The glaze is highly durable and chip-resistant, but like all ceramic bakeware, it can be scratched by sharp metal tools. We recommend using silicone, wood, or nylon utensils to keep the surface looking pristine over time.
Yes, the Burgundian clay construction is excellent at heat retention. This keeps your food warm for longer while it sits on the table, making it a great choice for serving directly from the dish.
The baker weighs 4.15 lbs on its own. While it has a solid, high-quality feel, it is manageable for most home cooks, though you should always use two hands or oven mitts when moving it in and out of the oven.
The dish is dishwasher safe, but for stubborn, baked-on food, soaking it in warm, soapy water is usually enough to loosen the residue. Because the ceramic is non-porous, it cleans up very easily without the need for harsh scrubbing.
