Burgundian Clay Cookware

One of the top names in clay cookware is Emile Henry, a French ceramic manufacturer with over 170 years of experience in the industry. Emile Henry cookware and bakeware essentials are handcrafted in France using premium Burgundian clay, a material that absorbs heat quickly and retains it evenly for consistent cooking and baking results. They're finished with a durable glaze that won't absorb odors or colors and doesn't chip, crack or craze, even with heavy use. Most are safe for use in the microwave, oven, freezer, broiler and dishwasher, ensuring versatility and easy cleanup.

The Emile Henry clay cooking pots for bread make great additions to any kitchen. They offer a spherical interior that bakes round artisan loaves from simple ingredients. The included lid retains steam, keeping the bread moist inside while creating a crispy crust. Bakers for baguettes and mini baguettes, Italian loaves, square loaves and ciabatta bread are also available. Other popular items in the Burgundian clay collection include versatile square and rectangular bakers, pie dishes and pizza pans.

Enameled Cast Iron Cookware

This collection also includes a variety of must-have soup pots and Dutch ovens from brands like Le Creuset and Staub. They're crafted of enameled cast iron and offer incredible heat retention for expert cooking results (and baking results, in the case of oven-safe pots). They typically range in capacity from two to nine quarts, making it easy to cook individual portions or enough for a crowd. They're also dishwasher-safe for effortless cleanup.

These premium Dutch ovens have enameled cast iron interiors that resist rust, chips, staining and cracking for long-term use. Unlike traditional cast iron cookware, they require no additional seasoning, making them easier to maintain while offering many of the same cooking properties. The exterior walls of the pot typically have a glossy finish, with color options like classic white, bright red, bold blue and sophisticated grey available to complement your existing dishes.
