Emile Henry Le Potier 12-Inch Le Grand Pie Dish, Bordeaux

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.

Incredibly roomy, this 12-inch Emile Henry Le Poitier Le Grand pie dish is a great addition to the bakeshelf for large families and households that love to entertain. In addition to being handsome and homey, this piece is high-fired from premium Burgundy clay for ideal baking results. This incredibly durable, lead-free material distributes heat both gently and evenly throughout the dish. For added convenience, the plate's surface treatment ensures that it transitions safely from the freezer to the oven and can go in the broiler, microwave, and dishwasher. The glossy glaze is scratch-resistant for worry-free slicing and serving, and it should not chip, crack, or craze under typical use. Formed with 2-inch-deep sides, the plate has a ribbed exterior and a pretty fluted edge. Emile Henry makes it in a variety of attractive glazes and includes a three-year warranty against defects. Individual pie plates and a 9-inch version are also available. --Emily Bedard
