Emile Henry Le Grand Pie Dishes PDF Print E-mail
Written by Mark Jala   

One of Emile Henry's classics is their pie dish, or Le Grand Pie Dish . The Le Grand pie dish has a fluted edge, bright white interior with an exterior available in 12 colors. Colors that are only sold in the 9 inch size are pink, sky blue, fig, sand, slate, and black. Colors that can be bought in two to four inch sizes are figue, white, red, green, blue and yellow. The green, blue and yellow can all be purchased in the greatest variety of sizes at 9 inches, 5.5 inches, 12 inches and 8 inches.

The food cooked in your Emile Henry clay dishes will take longer to heat than those cooked in metal, so expect to add about ten minutes on average to your cooking time. The double glaze will keep you from having to add a lot of fats to your crust for it to come out of the pan easily. One of the advantages to the way that clay diffuses heat more slowly is that the crust will be flakier, browned more perfectly, and it will actually retain its heat and stay warmer for a longer period of time sitting at the table.

Emile Henry was founded in 1850 and has been producing ceramics in Marcigny in Burgundy , France ever since. Their two hundred potters hand craft each piece from the region's local lead free, pure Burgundy clay. They work in a traditional style in one warehouse with four different fabrication units, and then send their goods to fifty different countries.

EmileHenryPieDish.jpgAmazon reviewers love Le Grand Pie Dish and universally give it five stars: “You will NOT be disappointed in any EMILE HENRY baking products. My cheese and veggie quiche turns out perfect every time and never sticks! My not-so-secret to a perfect crustless quiche? (Shhhh, a bit of Bisquick/or homemade biscuit mix and buttermilk mixed with eggs for the bottom)! Really! It's so good.:) I use the 12-inch dish because I usually bake for a crowd but the 9 inch dish is perfect for your usual holiday pies and whatnot.”

Another writes, “Pies are perfect--clean up is amazing!!! It's wonderful and still looks as bright and perfect as the day I took it out of the box. I throw it in my dishwasher without pre rinsing too! And comes out looking as though I just brought it home. I make the best Apple Pies I ever ate..the crust is perfect every time.”
