Emile Henry Rectangular Baker

Yes, Emile Henry ceramic is designed to withstand thermal shock, so you can move it from the freezer directly into a preheated oven without worrying about the dish cracking.

No, this baker is not compatible with direct heat sources like stovetop burners. It is designed specifically for oven, broiler, and microwave use.

Burgundian clay offers superior heat retention, meaning your food stays warm longer at the table. It also provides more gentle, even heat distribution, which helps prevent the edges of your casseroles or baked goods from drying out before the center is cooked.

The hand-applied glaze is highly durable and non-porous, which effectively prevents the absorption of flavors, odors, or moisture. It is designed to resist staining and maintain its finish even after frequent use.

While the glaze is durable and chip-resistant, we recommend using wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils to avoid scratching the surface over time. Metal utensils can leave grey marks on the ceramic glaze.

This baker is oven-safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for high-heat roasting and broiling.
