Emily Hart – Tableware Expert View Profile →
- Truly Pro-Grade: Superb resistance to chips and scratches in a busy environment.
- Weight Consideration: Heavier than stainless steel, which might affect handling when full.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The King's Arms, a historic gastropub in York, needed to upgrade their tired-looking metal buffet dishes to something that matched their newly refurbished, premium interior.
"We serve food all day, and presentation is key. The Emile Henry dishes go from kitchen to table and look fantastic. They hold the heat so much better than our old stainless steel pans, and customers have noticed the difference."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
The switch resulted in a noticeable improvement in food presentation and a 20% reduction in food waste from the buffet, as dishes remained at a safe, appealing temperature for longer.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
First Use & Handling
- Wash the dish with warm, soapy water before its first use to remove any residue.
- Always ensure you have a firm, secure grip, especially when the dish is hot and full.
- Avoid placing a hot dish directly onto a cold or wet surface; use a trivet or dry cloth to prevent thermal shock.
- It’s ready to use in ovens, microwaves, and under the grill (keep at least 6cm from the element).
Keeping It Pristine
- The dish is fully dishwasher safe for easy, hygienic, and convenient cleaning.
- For any stubborn baked-on food, simply soak it in warm water and a splash of vinegar before washing.
- Avoid using metal scourers or abrasive powders, as these can damage the beautiful smooth glaze.
- When storing, stack them carefully with protectors or a cloth between dishes to prevent surface scratches.

Ever worried about taking a dish from a cold prep area straight into a blistering hot oven? That's where Emile Henry's special 'High Resistance' ceramic comes in. Think of it like the tempered glass on your phone screen – it's been engineered to withstand extreme temperature changes that would shatter ordinary ceramics. This process, developed over generations in Burgundy, France, fuses the clay and glaze together at very high temperatures. The result is a non-porous, incredibly dense material that resists cracking from thermal shock, giving you the confidence to move from freezer to oven without a second thought.
