Crafted in France since 1850, this dish is made from all-natural materials, specifically high-fired Burgundy clay using Emile Henry’s High Resistance (HR) ceramic. Known for its superior heat retention, Burgundy clay ensures even heat distribution and keeps food hot for longer periods. The dish is resistant to temperature changes and can be used in the oven up to 520°F. It’s safe for use in the oven, broiler, and microwave, and can transition directly from the freezer or refrigerator to a hot oven and then to the table. Durability is a key feature, with an extremely hard glaze that resists scratching and crazing, making it suitable for everyday use. The highly resistant glaze is perfect for preparing delicious meals and desserts. Cleaning is easy, as the dish is dishwasher safe or can be hand washed with soap and water. It comes with a 10-year warranty against manufacturing defects when used in a household environment. Included components: Loaf Baking Dish.
