(More customer reviews)I love Emile Henry. They are completely eco friendly. The cookware itself literally comes from the earth! The Burgundian clay mixture comes from decomposed rock that is millions of years old. Even the glazes and finishes are derived from all natural sources and are non toxic.The Emile Henry factory is also eco friendly and adheres to strict environmental practices.
If I know I can throw some veggies into the wok and have a meal in about five or ten minutes with less than five minutes cleaning time, I'm in! Sometimes by dinner time you're tired and not up to the challenge of making a healthy meal. But you still want something hot and hearty. With this wok, there is no excuse not to eat healthy. With the wok, you only lightly cook the veggies, so there are more healthy enzymes in tact and the nutrient level is higher.
I put a tiny bit of coconut oil in the pan, along with a couple of garlic clove halves (to be taken out later, it's there just to flavor the oil). Then I toss in whatever veggies I have on hand. Always broccoli, maybe some bok choy or napa cabbage, some carrots. A little chili oil or grated ginger if it's a cold day, some green herbs like cilantro,Thai basil, or lime leaf. There are infinite possibilites and flavors to come up with. In five minutes or less you have a great meal, just like that. I like it served up with a big salad and if you need something heartier, some quinoa.
The wok is also oven safe and for Thanksgiving, I used it to make my stuffing. It was so easy! First I sautéed some minced onion, then added some diced mushrooms, then diced celery. I let the flavors mingle, then added whole grain bread cubes (already in the bag from the co-op). Then I poured some vegetable broth over it, added some herbs, mixed it up, put the lid on and baked for about an hour. It was crazy good and there was just barely any left to enjoy the next day. Clean up took just a couple of minutes even though some of the stuffing was pretty baked on. I will definitely be repeating this for our Christmas dinner.
The wok looks wonderful on the table and the ceramic acts as a warmer, keeping the food from getting cold. You can't go wrong with Emile Henry. I know it's a little spendy, but this is something you buy one time. And then you pass it down through generations, so I think it's well worth it. It would make a killer holiday gift for the foodie or cook on your list

Emile Henry Flame Top WokA versatile addition to any cookware collection, this innovative wok's curved interior promotes proper stir-frying, while its wide top and narrow bottom allow for frying with less oil than with a straight-sided pan. Simply heat the oil; add any favorite combination of fresh vegetables, tofu, or meat; then keep things moving with a long-handled wooden spatula. Measuring approximately 16 by 13-1/2 by 6 inches, the 5-quart-capacity wok retains heat and distributes it gently and evenly, making the cooking vessel a nice choice not only for stir-frying, but also for braising, simmering, sauteing, and steam cooking. It can also be heated to extremely high temperatures for searing. The cookware brings out the natural flavors of the food and maintains natural textures and colors for delicious results. An oven-safe tempered-glass lid and a handy tempura rack come included.
As with other pieces in the Emile Henry's Flame-Top ceramic cookware line, the wok is made of Burgundy Clay, which can be used on any stove top (gas, electric, or halogen), without any fear of cracking or breaking. Be sure to use Emile Henry's special induction disk when using the wok on induction stove tops. For exceptional convenience, the base can go directly from the refrigerator or freezer to a hot oven, under the broiler, in the microwave--or even on a barbecue grill. Its beautiful design also makes it a viable choice for use as a serving piece at the table. Other highlights include two integrated side handles, a footed base for heat diffusion, and a lightweight design (up to 30-percent lighter than all cast iron). Manufactured in France, the wok cleans easily by hand or in the dishwasher, and it carries a 10-year limited warranty.
