What sets Emile Henry ceramics apart

• Thanks to the use of natural, quality products and its artisanal manufacturing process, Emile Henry ceramics are a very healthy cooking utensil.
• Ceramic is an excellent heat diffuser, so you will achieve a smooth and progressive cooking.
• Its non-porous glaze prevents the absorption of odours or tastes.
• It is highly resistant to the small knocks that often occur in the kitchen.
• It can be cleaned in the dishwasher without altering its properties or colour.

Features:

• Vitrified ceramic is resistant to cuts.
• The heat is distributed slowly and evenly, cooking your recipes perfectly.
• It is oven, microwave and dishwasher safe.
• Emile Henry ceramics stand out for their quality: they are handmade ceramic pieces (in fact, each piece is checked and signed by the same craftsman who makes it), and the raw material used to make them is selected Burgundy clay.
• Important: When you take it out of the oven, the mould is very hot and you must avoid a thermal contrast: place it on a cooling rack, a wooden board or a cloth so that it does not suffer a thermal shock, it could crack.

Did you know that...? It's perfect for cakes! Ceramic is an ideal material for making sponge cakes, because it is a moist material which, unlike other materials, does not dry out the dough. Bake in Emile Henry ceramics and you will notice the difference.

CLAUDIA'S NOTE ON COLOURS: When Emile Henry ceramics are heated, the colour of the moulds intensifies, becoming darker. The truth is that I personally never know if I like them better when they are at room temperature or when I take them out of the oven, they are such beautiful colours! The classic red for a while is a very intense maroon, the blue intensifies into a very elegant ocean colour... I think they want us to keep using them for baking!

Why we love the Emile Henry rectangular ceramic mould
