Amazon.com Product Description

Measuring 17-1/5 by 11-1/5 by 3-1/5 inches, this rectangular-shaped roaster provides a 6.3-quart capacity and offers everyday convenience. Use it for roasting, braising, baking, browning, and slow cooking anything from lasagna, caramelized root vegetables, or a savory roast to fudge brownies, vanilla cake, cinnamon buns, and other sweet treats. The unit retains heat and distributes it gently and evenly, bringing out the natural flavors of the food and maintaining natural textures and colors for mouthwatering results. It can also be heated to extremely high temperatures for searing.

Emile Henry's Flame-Top ceramic cookware features Burgundy Clay construction, which can be used on any stove top (gas, electric, or halogen), though it requires Emile Henry's special induction disk when using with induction stove tops. The versatile unit can go directly from the refrigerator or freezer to a hot oven, under the broiler, in the microwave--or even onto a barbecue grill. Unlike most metal, glass, or ceramic cookware, the remarkably hard and flameproof cookware offers a high direct-heat tolerance. For example, it can sit on a hot open flame, empty, for an extended period of time without cracking, breaking, or discoloring. In addition to storing and cooking, the unit's beautiful design makes it a viable choice for use as a serving piece at the table. Other highlights include two integrated side handles for secure transport, a footed base for heat diffusion, and a lightweight design (up to 30-percent lighter than all cast iron). Manufactured in France, the roaster cleans up quickly by hand or in the dishwasher and carries a 10-year limited warranty.

Our new line of Burgundy Clay Flame-Top ceramic products work directly on any stove top (gas, electric, glass or halogen hob), without any fear of cracking or breaking. Much lighter, (30-percent lighter), than many types of comparable metal cookware products, Flame-Top is microwave and dishwasher-safe, goes under the broiler, and can go directly from a freezer to a hot oven. The incredibly gentle heat distribution properties of Burgundy Clay makes it a cooking vessel perfect for braising, browning and slow cooking. Flame-Top products cook evenly and thoroughly when used on top of the stove, in the oven or even in the microwave. Emile Henry Flame-Top ceramic cookware is light and versatile, and better brings out the flavors of all cooked foods. The roaster is designed to be the most versatile pans in the kitchen. These roasters are for everyday use - not just for holiday meals. The roasters are ideal for an easy to slice and release baked lasagna, a caramelized pan of vegetables on the grill or a succulent roast or bird deglazed on the stove-top and roasted in the oven. For the bakers out there, it can be used for brownies, sheet cakes, and many other desserts. The roasters are made of an innovative ceramic technology that is remarkably hard and flameproof so it can be used directly on a heat source whether it is a stovetop or grill and then can be placed in the oven to roast or bake. The roasters direct heat tolerance is so high that it, unlike most metal, glass or ceramic cookware, can sit on a very hot open flame, empty, for an extended period of time and it won't crack, discolor or break. The Flame-Top Roasters cooks evenly and gently when used on top of the stove, in the oven or even in the microwave

5.0 out of 5 stars Heavy, deep pan, January 28, 2011

This review is from: Emile Henry Flame-Top 17-1/5-by-11-1/5-Inch Roaster, Red (Kitchen)

Nice, heavy pan. I bought it mostly for lasagna because it's hard to find a deep lasagna pan and this one is just right. I've also used it to bake a chicken in sauce and to bake a cake and it worked well for both. It weighs over six pounds when it's empty, though, so it is a bit heavy when it has food in it.
For some reason, the directions say that it needs to be seasoned before using it the first time. Per their instructions, I boiled a little bit of milk in it to season it and it was a little hard to get the burned milk off the bottom of the pan (guess I boiled it too long), and there was one area of black that did not come off. Tonight, I made a dish I got off of their website and some food burned on the bottom of the pan when I was browning the chicken on the stovetop and it also left black marks, even after scrubbing with a plastic mesh scrubber. The cleaning instructions on Emile Henry's website only say to soak the pan to get rid of burnt-on food. I will have to e-mail them to see if I am supposed to use steel wool on it. The marks should not affect the usefulness of the pan, though.

This review is from: Emile Henry Flame-Top 17-1/5-by-11-1/5-Inch Roaster, Azure Blue (Kitchen)

I love this pan. Perfect for lasagna (freezer to oven - FANTASTIC). The roaster is big - it took some creative rearranging to get this into the storage cabinet but its worth it. I'm eyeing the smaller one for baking needs. Emile Henry Flame Top is just so easy to use and so easy to clean.

2.0 out of 5 stars 15" only when you include the handles, December 15, 2010

This review is from: Emile Henry Flame Top Roaster, 15.6-Inch by 10.4-Inch, Red (Kitchen)

I'll never actually use this pan before I return it, so I can't comment on its performance. What I can say is the pan is ridiculously small. I had dithered for weeks between the 15x10 and the 17x11, finally opting for the smaller as more practical for everyday use. Sadly, when I received it, the pan labeled "15.6 x 10.4 inches" turned out to perfectly fit a standard letter sized piece of paper in the bottom: thus, it's actually about 8.5 x 11" (it slopes out a bit, so you could call it 10x12). The only way to call it 15.5" is by measuring the handles. Stupid of Emile Henry to misrepresent the size like this. I'd never owned one of their pieces before and now I'll never consider another.
