Emile Henry 12-by-8-1/2-Inch Lasagna Baker, Azure Blue

Product Review

Marcigny, a small town nestling between the hills of Southern Burgundy, has been home to Emile Henry for the past 150 years. Faithful to its origins, the entire production is carried out here. Thanks to its clay, rich in refractory properties, Burgundy has remained a fertile area for potters, passing on their savoir-faire from generation to generation. Clay, a natural and noble material, has been used since the mists of the time to cook or preserve food. While respecting the traditional techniques, Emile Henry has introduced technological improvements (Ceradon ®) so that the dishes are more resistant to mechanical and thermal shock. Strong, durable, all Emile Henry pieces can be taken directly from the freezer to the hot oven, can go under a broiler and is microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe. The natural clay is unsurpassed for conducting and retaining heat. All pieces are perfect for everyday use and carry a 3 year warranty against defects.

Since I had already been very pleased by my Emile Henry pie dishes, loaf pan, and ramekins, I thought I would take a chance with this all-purpose baking dish, and I haven't been disappointed. So far I've made lasagna, baked macaroni and cheese, and a couple of batches of brownies, and I've gotten much better results than I did in my old Pyrex dish. The sides are also slightly deeper than Pyrex, which is very important for layered dishes like lasagna, and the interior glazing makes this far easier to clean baked on stains than glass is. It goes from the freezer to a hot oven with no problem and without much fear of it shattering.

The only thing this dish isn't the best for is dry roasting. EH recommends having at least a little bit of liquid in the dish whenever you cook in it, because that's supposed to help with the dish's longevity for some reason. For everything else, though, this is better than any other similar baking dish I've ever used.

I have baked lasagnas, manicotti, haricot verts, chicken, rustic vegetables everything bake-able in this dish and I have never had an issue cleaning even the toughest messes out of it! Just a five minute soak and it wipes clean.
