Emile Henry Flame Top Bakeware

One awesome ceramic baker. 

In his book My Bread, Jim Lahey, the godfather of no knead baking, writes – “I confess, though, that my favorite pot is probably the most expensive option, the all ceramic Emile Henry. The high quality ceramic, like iron, transmits heat evenly and well, but it’s lighter than cast iron.”

One Breadtopian posted – “I don’t remember if I touted this before, but the Emile Henry Flame Top Dutch Oven is da bomb. Entirely made of clay, it goes into a 500℉ without a care, and it is much lighter than any cast iron pot.”

My wife, Denyce, on the Emile Henry Flame pot, says “This is my new favorite cooking thing.”

A Breakthrough in Ceramics Technology

FlameBG

It took Emile Henry 5 years of research to develop the first, and so far only, all ceramic bakeware designed to easily handle extreme temperature fluctuations.
You can take an Emile Henry Flame stew pot from the freezer to a 500℉ oven, as Vajra put it, without a care. And from the hot oven to the table, where it will retain the cooking heat for a very long time.

Amazingly, it can also be use over a direct gas flame or electric hob. Want to use it in your gas or charcoal grill? Go for it. Microwave? No problem.

Product Details:

  • 4.2 quart size (10″ diameter) – perfect for no knead baking
  • Beautiful, natural-looking ceramic bakeware heats evenly and maintains temperature for long periods of time.
  • Smooth glaze coating is extremely durable and rich in color. It resists sticking, and is easy to clean.
  • Self-basting bumps on the inside of the snug fitting lid redistribute juices for better flavor.
  • Works great on gas flame, electric and halogen cooktops (except induction).
  • Suitable for the freezer, refrigerator, microwave and conventional ovens.
  • Can be used under the broiler.
  • Weight: 7.25 lbs, about 30% less than comparable size iron Dutch oven.
  • Dishwasher safe.
  • Made in France.

    I love this baker and have been baking bread in it for 5 years; all the breads come out wonderful. Unfortunately I recently discovered a big crack in the lid so I’m very careful with it but I know it will break eventually. I went to Emile Henry website and they sell replacement lids so I ordered one because I love baking in this pot.

    While I didn’t buy this pot from Breadtopia, I feel compelled to write a review because I love this pot so much. I have a LOT of different cookware, very fancy to very plain, and this truly is my favorite piece. From heating milk for my yogurt, cooking or baking oatmeal, soups for two, bread, beans, and on and on, this pot does everything. It is SO easy to clean. It always looks beautiful so can serve directly from it. It has even heldup to being carted around by our Labrador when she’s “doing the dishes”. Can be used over open flame, in the oven (at least to 500) and I also use it on the grill (not sure it is approved for that though!). Best item in my kitchen, and one I will take with me to the retirement home some day!

    Really wanted to jump onto the band wagon of baking bread in a cocotte but was a bit deterred by the cost. Happy to find this on sale. Also with limited kitchen space, I like to have something that serves more than just a bread baker, i.e. I coukd use this pot for other stuff. Made this small boule this morning using the cold oven/cold pot method – took dough in brotform from fridge for about 30 minutes, plop it onto a sheet of parchment, scored, placed in cold pot in a cold oven, turn on oven for 255C for 30 minutes, then 235C for 25 minutes. And that is!

    Wow. My Emile Henry just arrived. It is gorgeous and I am eagerly looking forward to baking my Artisan breads in it. I have been struggling with a heavy cast iron Dutch oven, and it will be a delight to now have one that Is so light weight. I wish it had included directions for using it for bread. Also, I am concerned that they say one should not heat the base of the pot when it is empty. However some of my bread recipes want one to heat the pot first before putting the dough in it. Should I skip the preheating and just put the dough in the pot and then put them into the preheated oven. Thanks for your advice.

    YES YES YES just made my first two loaves of sourdough in the Emile Henry after a few uses as a stewpot. I love it so much as a one-pot, brown stewmeat-sautee aromatics-slow cook, easy clean dutchoven that I was hesitant to give it the 500 degree bread baking treatment. My fears were unfounded! After bread like this, lovely crust, nice spring, no sticking to the pot, and the pot itself so light and requiring no soaking and scrubbing I can second the reviewer above who says “this is my new favorite cooking thing.”

    I have not had a chance to use my Emile Henry pot yet, since it just arrived. But this review is for the wonderful packing of this product. It was in its own box, double wrapped in bubble wrap and placed in the center of a ton of packing paper in the absolute middle of a bigger box. Arrived save and sound. I’m writing this because I’m super glad ordered form Breadtopia (have been a customer in the past and reviving my bread baking) and not from Amazon. Over the Christmas shopping weeks, we received things broken and poorly secured from Amazon. Thanks Breadtopia

    Not just for bread… If you only buy one piece of cookware, buy this one. It’s great for boules, but I also use it for soups, stews, casseroles, you name it

    LOVE IT!!! I was hesitant about spending this much on a dutch oven. I have a stone, I have a cast iron pizza pan and i have a romertoph baker (the smallest one), but this is my favorite. I ordered the black one. It stays on top of my oven (proudly on display). the “dump/no knead” breads work really well because they can only spread so far to the side and then they can rise up…you don’t have to deal with pans of water etc. Breadtopia shipped it so fast it was here before i even checked the shipping status. I love it..and this was the best price around at the time…beautiful and functional!
