Product Description

Emile Henry Flame-Top ceramic cookware is light and versatile, an innovative breakthrough in ceramics technology. Our 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% lighter), 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. 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 even cooking. Emile Henry Flame-Top ceramic cookware is light and versatile, and better brings out the flavors of all cooked foods.

This review is from: Emile Henry Flame Top 12 Inch Round Brazier, Figue (Kitchen)

This is so much fun to cook with. It cooks diced bacon beautifully, onions become translucent without worry of burnt or crispy edges, mushrooms brown perfectly, meat browns to a perfect, even golden crust... I've never seen meat brown so beautifully before - I'm really excited about this brasier and can't wait to purchase another piece of this line (I already have the 10x10 baking dish and it's wonderful, as well!). Oh, and deglazing was effortless with some wine and stock...I'm usually scraping away in my old "traditional" dutch oven (iron core, I believe?). I'm so happy with this purchase!
