Emile Henry Flametop Cookware is a revolutionary cookware line that was in development for over 5 years. Emile Henry Cookware is one of the first commercially available ceramic cookware lines that can go from freezer to oven to stovetop. Made from a highly advanced ceramic and glaze, Emile Henry Cookware browns food beautifully on the stovetop and finishes dishes nicely in the oven. Based on the same principles as cast-iron cookware, Flametop Cookware offers the type of low, slow cooking process associated with cast-iron but with better thermal retention, heat conductivity and less weight. The tight fitting lids also feature self-basting spikes that help redistribute moisture.
