Product Description

Marcigny, a small town nestling between the hills of Southern Burgundy, has been home to Emile Henry for the past 150 years. Faithful to its origins, the entire production is carried out here. Thanks to its clay, rich in refractory properties, Burgundy has remained a fertile area for potters, passing on their savoir-faire from generation to generation. Clay, a natural and noble material, has been used since the mists of the time to cook or preserve food. While respecting the traditional techniques, Emile Henry has introduced technological improvements (Ceradon ®) so that the dishes are more resistant to mechanical and thermal shock. Strong, durable, all Emile Henry pieces can be taken directly from the freezer to the hot oven, can go under a broiler and is microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe. The natural clay is unsurpassed for conducting and retaining heat. All pieces are perfect for everyday use and carry a 3 year warranty against defects.

1.0 out of 5 stars The highest quality useless dishes, October 11, 2010

Opening the box, I couldn't help but be impressed by the quality and craftsmanship of these utterly useless dishes. The deep red color and the flawless surface highlighted the quality of these dishes that have no conceivable purpose. The finish would bring out the color in the two or three olives that might fit in the dish. The color would stand out beautifully against the maybe four cashews that would fit. And the ceramic looks to be wonderful for baking and transferring heat, which I imagine would be helpful when creating the tortilla casserole shots, which I suppose are all the rage. I'm not even sure an Orea would fit in these.The contrast between the utility and the quality of these dishes is astounding.

I have no comprehension of who would use these. The stated size is not correct. They are about 0.5" deep and about 1.5" diameter inside. They would fit well in a doll house, but short of holding maybe 3 olives, I can't imagine what I would use them for. I really don't know what a 3" casserole dish would be used for, but these are just silly.

Want a good laugh? Buy these and marvel at the ridiculously small size.

These were MUCH smaller than I was expecting--granted, it does clearly say the size in the product description, so it's my own fault. But it's easy to forget how small a 3 inch diameter really is. These are the size of one index finger across and the tip of my index finger deep.

Other than that, they're great--the color is a true red, and the quality seems to be the same as my other Emile Henry items(excellent.) The stickers with the bar code were difficult to remove; they wanted to stay stuck to the bottom of the dishes. I haven't used the dishes in the oven yet because of the size. I live alone so I'm not cooking appetizer-type things often and even if I am, the portion using one dish is far too small to justify turning the oven on to cook it.
