Know before you buy
Ceramic provides more even, gentle heat distribution, which prevents the crust from burning while ensuring the toppings cook through. It also retains heat longer, keeping your pizza warm at the table, though it takes slightly longer to preheat than thin steel pans.
Yes, Emile Henry’s ceramic is highly scratch-resistant. You can slice your pizza directly in the dish without damaging the glaze.
Not necessarily, but you will need more dough than you would for a standard thin-crust pizza. The deep walls are designed to hold thicker crusts, extra cheese, and chunky toppings without spilling over.
Yes, the ceramic is durable enough for the dishwasher. However, hand washing with warm, soapy water is usually faster and helps maintain the finish over the long term.
While the glaze is naturally non-stick, a light coating of olive oil or a dusting of cornmeal is recommended to ensure an easy release and to add a bit of extra crispness to the bottom of the crust.
