Written by Mark Jala   
Emile Henry Flame Top cookware is the first ceramics line developed to go directly into open fires; of which the manufacturing process took five years to develop. The Emile Henry Flame Top line goes into all fires—gas, electric, halogen, and all furnaces both traditional and microwave. It cannot be used on an induction stove, but the line is freezer safe to 0 degrees Fahrenheit. The Flame Top line requires only a low temperature; the natural ceramic material will diffuse the heat by itself. One can steam, bake, stew, or seal in the juices of meats and poultry in this cookware. The cooking process will naturally caramelize, but not burn your food, which is perfect for deglazing.

DishwasherSafe.gifCaring for and using this product line is relatively low maintenance. For the first use, one will have to pour milk in the pot to cover the bottom, bring it to a boil, and then wash before using. The first couple of times you use the Flame Top line food may stick to the bottom. Soak for twenty minutes. Afterwards the ceramic naturally becomes easier to clean by hand and it's guaranteed to be dishwasher safe as well.

Emile Henry is a French producer of ceramics founded in 1850. Two hundred craftsmen create their ceramics in Marcigny in Burgundy, France and export their goods to over fifty countries. Items can be purchased in five colors—red, black, green, yellow or figue. They have 24 vessels of different colors offered in several different sizes including 5 1/2, 4.2 and 2 1/2 quart round ovens, casseroles, brasiers, stew pots, roasters, tagines, and fondue sets.

EmileHenryFlameCasserole.jpgThe Emile Henry Flame Top line receives exceptionally high marks from Amazon reviewers, most are five star. One reviewer says of the red Emile Henry Flame Top round oven, “The Flame Top series are the only ones that can go in the oven, on the stove top, in the fridge, microwave, etc. Fantastic heat distribution with no hot spots or burning. Extremely easy to keep clean. Buy one and try it, you WILL be amazed!”

Another says of the Emile Henry 2.6 quart tagine, “I can't praise the Emile Henry Co. enough for this product. The design allows the flavors to recirculate and permeate the food. My chicken apricot sauce with pine nuts was perfect! I have also used it to brown steaks, then slow cooked to tender. I think I've just found the perfect replacement for the slow cooker. It's really that wonderful.”
