What Makes Emile Henry Cookware Different?

Emile Henry cookware is crafted in France using proprietary Burgundy clay, known for its ability to distribute heat evenly and retain warmth for longer. This makes it ideal for slow cooking, baking, and dishes that benefit from gentle, consistent heat.

Unlike standard ceramic or stoneware, Emile Henry pieces are:

• Highly resistant to thermal shock
• Safe for oven, microwave, freezer, and dishwasher use
• Designed to go beautifully from oven to table

Best Emile Henry for Baking & Oven Cooking

Emile Henry bakeware is perfect for:

• Lasagne, gratins, and roasts
• Cakes, brownies, and desserts
• Everyday family meals

The ceramic construction ensures even cooking without hot spots, helping baked dishes cook through properly while maintaining moisture.

Best Emile Henry for Bread & Artisan Baking

Emile Henry’s bread cloches and loaf dishes are a favourite among home bakers. Designed to trap steam during baking, they help create:

• Crisp crusts
• Soft, airy interiors
• Consistent artisan-style results at home

They’re ideal for sourdough, rye, and classic loaf breads.

Cooking with Emile Henry Tagines

Emile Henry tagines are designed for slow-cooked dishes such as:

• Moroccan-style tagines
