Know before you buy
Yes, Emile Henry's HR® ceramic is designed to withstand thermal shock. You can safely transfer it from the freezer to a preheated oven without the risk of cracking.
The proprietary glaze is highly scratch-resistant and designed for daily use. While it is very durable, we still recommend using wooden or silicone utensils to keep the finish looking pristine over time.
Not at all. The ceramic is dishwasher safe, and the smooth glaze prevents food from sticking, making it easy to hand wash as well. It does not require seasoning like cast iron.
This baker is oven-safe up to 520°F (270°C). It is also broiler-safe, allowing you to achieve a perfect golden-brown crust on your gratins or casseroles.
Yes, the 11" x 8" size is ideal for serving four to six people. It is perfectly proportioned for standard casserole recipes, roasted vegetables, or a fruit crumble.
