Emile Henry Le Potier 9-1/4-Inch Square Baker, Cr?me

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.

Compact but smartly designed, this Emile Henry Le Potier square baker is perfect for baked polenta or fresh cherry cobbler. Thanks to its tidy size, it is suitable for small ovens or microwaves, but the steep sides still ensure four healthy servings. High-fired from premium lead-free Burgundy clay, the piece distributes heat evenly throughout food and retains warmth well. For added convenience, its shock- and temperature-resistance allows it to go directly from the freezer to the oven. The dish is also safe in the broiler, microwave, and dishwasher, and the glossy glaze should not chip, crack, scratch, or craze under typical use. Formed with a ribbed exterior, the baker is 9-1/4 inches square with tidy tab handles. It comes in a variety of glazes and includes a three-year warranty against defects. --Emily Bedard
