What sets Emile Henry ceramics apart

• They are high-quality pieces, handcrafted with attention to every detail. The same artisan who makes it, checks it, and signs it.
• The raw material is selected Burgundy clay, and it’s completely free of lead, nickel, and cadmium. Thanks to the use of natural, high-quality materials and its artisanal manufacturing process, Emile Henry ceramic pieces are very healthy cooking utensils.
• Ceramic is an excellent heat diffuser. Baking with the Madeleine ceramic tray ensures gentle, even, and gradual cooking.
• Its non-porous vitrified glaze prevents the absorption of odors, flavors, and bacteria. Its glossy finish keeps it looking as beautiful as the first day and makes it very easy to clean.
• It is highly resistant to small knocks and scratches. Thanks to the strength of its glaze, you can cut cheese or pizza directly on it without worrying about damaging it.
• Ceramic is also perfect for cold preparations and refrigerated or frozen desserts, as it helps keep things cold for longer.
• You can use it for baking, reheating, gratinating, chilling, or freezing any dish. And for serving too, since it makes a great tray or board for the table.
• It is dishwasher-safe without affecting its properties or color.

CLAUDIA’S NOTE ON COLORS: When Emile Henry ceramics are heated, the color of the pieces intensifies and becomes darker. Honestly, I never know whether I like them better at room temperature or fresh out of the oven. The colors are just so beautiful! The classic red turns into a deep garnet for a while, the blue becomes a rich ocean tone... I think they want us to keep baking with them non-stop!
