Emile Henry Flame Top 6-1/3-Quart Oval Oven, Red Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I did a lot of checking and lifting of various dutch ovens/casseroles/stew pots by Le Creuset, Staub, Emeril Lagasse, and many others. But when I picked this 6.3 quart oven, I was pleasantly surprised to find how much lighter it is than the others. I bought it from Amazon and cooked with it the other night, and the results were delicious. I cooked everything on a gas stove. It browns meat very well, retains heat evenly, and the braising dish that I made came out perfect. All of my guests ate in silence to enjoy the meal and they usually don't do that! I also bought it because it can be used both on the stove and in the oven. I look forward to using it often. Highly recommend it!

Emile Henry Flame Top cookware, a technological innovation. An innovation in ceramics technology, Emile Henry's new line of Burgundy Clay Flame-Top ceramics products work directly on a gas flame or an electric or halogen hob without a diffuser, without any fear of cracking or breaking.Much lighter, (30%), than many types of comparable metal cookware products, Flame-Top is microwave and dishwasher-safe, cleans up very easily, is extremely strong and durable, goes under the broiler, and can go directly from a freezer or a refrigerator to a hot oven to the table, where it will retain the cooking heat for a very long time. This recent innovation from Emile Henry is a break-through in ceramics technology. Unlike most metal cookware products, Flame-Top cookware can sit on a very hot open flame for an extended period of time without any ingredients in the cook pot, and they will not crack, discolor or break. Perfect for braising, browning and slow cooking due to the incredibly gentle heat distribution properties of Burgundy Clay, Flame-Top products cook evenly and thoroughly when used on top of the stove, in the oven or even in the microwave.Enhancing this gentle cooking action are raised dots on the underneath side of each lid that evenly distribute evaporated juices directly back into the cooking food.This self-basting technique produces a more thoroughly cooked, tender and moist dish than with traditional lids, which force liquids to run down the sides of the pot, and which contribute to uneven cooking. Emile Henry Flame-Top ceramic cookware is light and versatile, and better brings out the flavors of all cooked foods.

Emile Henry Flame Top Roaster Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Nice, heavy pan. I bought it mostly for lasagna because it's hard to find a deep lasagna pan and this one is just right. I've also used it to bake a chicken in sauce and to bake a cake and it worked well for both. It weighs over six pounds when it's empty, though, so it is a bit heavy when it has food in it.
For some reason, the directions say that it needs to be seasoned before using it the first time. Per their instructions, I boiled a little bit of milk in it to season it and it was a little hard to get the burned milk off the bottom of the pan (guess I boiled it too long), and there was one area of black that did not come off. Tonight, I made a dish I got off of their website and some food burned on the bottom of the pan when I was browning the chicken on the stovetop and it also left black marks, even after scrubbing with a plastic mesh scrubber. The cleaning instructions on Emile Henry's website only say to soak the pan to get rid of burnt-on food. I will have to e-mail them to see if I am supposed to use steel wool on it. The marks should not affect the usefulness of the pan, though.

Measuring 17-1/5 by 11-1/5 by 3-1/5 inches, this rectangular-shaped roaster provides a 6.3-quart capacity and offers everyday convenience. Use it for roasting, braising, baking, browning, and slow cooking anything from lasagna, caramelized root vegetables, or a savory roast to fudge brownies, vanilla cake, cinnamon buns, and other sweet treats. The unit retains heat and distributes it gently and evenly, bringing out the natural flavors of the food and maintaining natural textures and colors for mouthwatering results. It can also be heated to extremely high temperatures for searing.
Emile Henry's Flame-Top ceramic cookware features Burgundy Clay construction, which can be used on any stove top (gas, electric, or halogen), though it requires Emile Henry's special induction disk when using with induction stove tops. The versatile unit can go directly from the refrigerator or freezer to a hot oven, under the broiler, in the microwave--or even onto a barbecue grill. Unlike most metal, glass, or ceramic cookware, the remarkably hard and flameproof cookware offers a high direct-heat tolerance. For example, it can sit on a hot open flame, empty, for an extended period of time without cracking, breaking, or discoloring. In addition to storing and cooking, the unit's beautiful design makes it a viable choice for use as a serving piece at the table. Other highlights include two integrated side handles for secure transport, a footed base for heat diffusion, and a lightweight design (up to 30-percent lighter than all cast iron). Manufactured in France, the roaster cleans up quickly by hand or in the dishwasher and carries a 10-year limited warranty.

Emile Henry Flame Top 12-Inch Brazier Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's clear from the condition of the Brazier that was shipped to me that Emile Henry has sloppy quality control. The cooking surface had obviously defective glazing, with small pebbles creating sharp bumps that will break off when cooking to expose the clay underneath.
This is the kind of thing you need to buy from a shop where you can check the quality before you leave the store. Now Amazon is telling me that I won't be able to get a replacement for a month. Great.
The price at Amazon is not discounted at all, so just go to Williams Sonoma or Sur La Table or another local dealer if you want Emile Henry cookware.
The Brazier itself it lighter than Le Creuset, which is a big advantage. And clay retains heat for very even cooking. It's a good idea with bad quality control.

Emile Henry Flame Top Fondue Set, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These are the best fondue pots ever. I received the yellow one as a wedding present a few years ago. Since then I've purchased the red one for my sister and now the black one for my sister-in-law (got to be able to tell them apart when we all get together). We've done cheese, chocolate, oil, & broth, used them on gas burners and electric and not only do they heat evenly, but they clean up easily too (even if someone forgets to clean-up until the next day).

Emile Henry Flame Top Round Oven Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love this pot! I received it as a gift from my father who uses his for soups and stews several times a week. I have used mine for meat & veg dishes started on the stove top for browning, and then finished low and slow in the oven. The meat turns out incredibly moist, and the entire dish cooks up perfectly with very little effort. It is also one of the easiest pieces I own to clean.
The one important piece of advice I would give, don't skip the seasoning step. This seals the clay so that it doesn't absorb flavors and odors. Perfect. I truly can not find one fault in this piece of cookware.

Emile Henry Flame Top Round Oven Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had put off buying a dutch oven for quite some time, just because they are always SO heavy and SO expensive (the good ones, anyway).
I was at Sur la Table looking at dutch ovens when I lifted the lid off a Emile Henry Flame Top and very nearly threw the lid backwards over my shoulder because I expected it to be about twice as heavy as it actually was. I was dubious; a ceramic dutch oven? It was on sale so I bought it, thinking that I could return it if I didn't like it.
I don't like it. I LOVE it. So far everything has cooked absolutely perfectly in it. The ceramic retains and radiates heat better then metal, excellently searing pot roasts and then simmering evenly on the very lowest gas heat setting. If my Flame Top went missing today I'd buy another one without hesitation. This is 100% heirloom cookware: it's going to be in your family, being used, for a long time.
To address the complaint that the Flame Top retains odors, all I can say is that I never had this problem, but with two caveats. The first is that the reviewer didn't state if she seasoned her Flame Top as recommended by the manufacturer (instructions are both in the box and on the website). The ceramic glaze needs to be "set" by simmering either milk or water with dry rice in it before it's first real use. If this step is skipped and the pot is instead seasoned with tomato sauce, then I imagine there would be a problem. The second issue is that of tomato sauce in general. Highly acidic foods cooked in any lightly porous cookware are going to leave an odor behind, at least for a little while, that's why tomato-based sauces should always be cooked in steel. Like I said, I've cooked a range of stinky, odorous foods in my Henry pot and it doesn't smell at all.

Emile Henry Flame Top Fondue Set Red Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a nice fondue set manufactured in France. The caquelon (pot) is earthenware which is considered to be the more proper or traditional material for use in making cheese fondue. It is what you will typically find used in Switzerland for cheese fondue.
The enameled, cast iron caquelons made by several other manufacturers are better suited when used with oil or broth to cook meats or seafood. This is due, in part, to the fact that cast iron, once heated, retains heat extremely well. Accordingly, it does not respond rapidly to a drop in temperature (i.e. lowering the heat). That is why a cast iron frying pan is great for searing steaks - it does not lose as much heat as would a stainless steel pan when a cold steak is dropped in it. While a pot or pan with high thermal retention qualities can provide an advantage in certain types of cooking, it can prove a disadvantage when making cheese fondue. If the heat gets a little too high when melting the cheese, reducing the heat or removing the pot from the heat source will not have an effect for a couple of minutes because the cast iron will retain the heat. In the time it takes the pot to cool a bit, the cheese may already have separated from the excessive heat. Even while eating fondue, you will find yourself having to lower the heat periodically to avoid boiling the cheese or scorching the cheese on the bottom of the pot, particularly when most of the cheese in the pot has been eaten and you are getting near the bottom. Although earthenware also has relatively high thermal retention qualities and will retain a certain amount of heat, lowering the flame will have a more immediate effect with earthenware than it would with cast iron.
Aside from the above considerations, a particular benefit to the Emile Henry earthenware caquelon is that it is capable of being used directly on a gas, electric or halogen range top to melt the cheese. Some earthenware pots cannot be used directly on a range top and will crack if used in such a fashion. Accordingly, if made in some other manufacturer's earthenware pots, the cheese must first be melted in a separate pot (or double boiler) and then transferred to the caquelon. The Emile Henry flame top pot eliminates that step.
As to the other components, the rechaud (stand) is adequate and sufficiently sturdy, but I would prefer that it have a slightly wider base. Still, this one is fine and works well. The fondue forks are very nice. Although made of stainless steel, at first glance they look almost like wrought iron.
One note of caution: Do not follow the fondue recipe included with this set with respect to the wine - it calls for far too much wine. Reduce to no more than two cups wine and add warmed wine by the tablespoon thereafter if more is needed as you melt the cheese.

Emile Henry Tagine, 2.6 Qt Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love tagine cooking. I purchased a traditonal clay one years ago. You had to soak it overnight in cold water before use. I hadn't used in in over a year and I knew I was taking a chance when I didn't bother to soak it. I even smiled as I watched the crack form and spread. At last I had an excuse to purchase this one!
Dishwasher safe! No soaking, although you do need to boil milk in it before the first use. This size feeds six. I lucked out and found a black one at Crate and Barrel Outlet.
Although I was annoyed with the upkeep of a tradtional tagine, I didn't want to switch to stainless steel or cast iron. This new glazed clay is a wonderful innovation.
This one cooks evenly. Cleans up easily and is nice enough to serve from at the table. If you are serious about the cuisine, this is the one to purchase. I'm concerned about the cast iron and stainless steel ones by other companies. Those aren't traditional materials and they conduct heat much more effeciently. The food may cook too quickly. This is as close to the original as you can get without the prep and cleanup hassles that come with it.
