Emile Henry Le Potier 9-Inch 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.

In addition to being handsome and homey, Emile Henry Le Potier bakeware is constructed for ideal baking results. High-fired from premium Burgundy clay, the pieces are incredibly durable and distribute heat both gently and evenly throughout the dish. The surface treatment ensures that they transition 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. This attractive 9-inch pie dish has 2-inch-deep sides, a ribbed exterior, and a pretty fluted edge. It is suitable for single- or double-crust pies. Emile Henry makes the plate in a variety of France-inspired glazes and includes a three-year warranty against defects. Individual pie plates and a 12-inch version are also available. --Emily Bedard
