## Description

Since 1850, Emile Henry has produced in France a large range of high quality ceramic cooking utensils. With a 10 year , our products are made from natural materials and have been designed and manufactured in France, in Southern Burgundy. Controlled production, without waste, is part of our daily commitment: the CO2 expelled from our workshops is particularly low thanks to our modern firing techniques that require less energy. The waste in General is recycled and the water used in production is filtered and used again in the production process. Our dishes have always been produced in France, in marcigny in the South of Burgundy: it is a tradition and savoir-faire which has been handed down from generation to generation. Each Worker prepares his moulds, produces his dishes and signs each one with his Initials. We are proud of this responsibility entrusted to each of our workers, which is a pledge of quality for all our production. Our Italian loaf baker allows you to bake a bakery-worthy artisan loaf with a crispy crust and soft interior. The refractory ceramic and domed lid create the right level of humidity during cooking to get a dry, crackling exterior. The ridges on the bottom prevent the dough from sticking while the handles on the lid make it easy to manipulate. All Emile Henry products are made in France and offer a ten year warranty.

Review: Makes Excellent Loaves - I was reluctant to buy this expansive baker because I saw some reviews saying the item arrived broken, some complaining that it's hard to remove from the oven, and some saying the bread sticks to the pan. But I'm glad I took the plunge and bought it because it makes a great loaf and I've had none of those problems. Today I made a 6-cups of flour loaf of no-knead rye bread, using the Bittman technique for no-knead bread as described in his book, How to Bake Everything. The result was perfect. Bittman's technique involves heating the empty, covered pan in the pre-heating oven for at least a half hour before the dough is ready to bake. When ready, you remove the pan from the oven and dump the dough into the pan, close it up, and place in the oven. It's not as tricky as it sounds because you let the dough rise on a towel, so you pick up the towel and dump it in. When you preheat the pan in this manner, it does NOT need to be greased or floured. The baked bread will easily fall out of the pan, no sticking. That is true for my pyrex bowl that I usually bake bread in, and evidently it is true for ceramic as well. I do not have any trouble moving the pan into or out of the oven with oven mitts. I wonder if the people who found that difficult have stiffer oven mitts so they cannot get a grip?? It might be tricky to remove just the cover to brown the bread, without removing the whole pan from the oven. Perhaps that is what people were trying to do. And yes, that would be easier to do if there was a knob on the top of the cover. But regardless of which vessel I'm using to bake the bread, I take the whole pan out of the oven if/when I want to remove the cover for further browning. That feels safer and easier to me no matter what I'm baking the bread in. I love the the loaf shape and large size of this pan. Now sandwiches made with my homemade bread will fit in standard sandwich containers for packed lunches. The fact that you can make a 6-cup loaf means you don't have to bake as often. I'll be cutting each loaf into thirds and freezing them in separate bags. Couldn't be more pleased. I wish it wasn't so expensive but I bake a lot of bread so I guess it is worth it.
Review: Absolutely perfect! - I bought this bread loaf baker specifically because I wanted to make loaves instead of sourdough rounds all the time. For reference I usually make sourdough bread in either my Staub or Lodge dutch ovens and this was my first time making bread in a ceramic baker. After reading the EH instructions and seeing a few youtube videos, I gave it a try. I used the same multi-seed recipe I normally do for a boule I bake in my Staub, so it didn't fill out the EH baker, which is a bit larger. I preheated the loaf baker at 485 F (since ceramic generally heats up faster than cast iron) and then once I took it out, I just tipped my bread into it directly from the loaf-shaped proofing basket without greasing the baker or putting in some flour beforehand. I scored my bread, gave it a healthy spritz of water on and around the loaf, sealed it and baked it at 450 F for 25 min, before uncovering and baking for an additional 25 min. It came out perfect - crispy, chewy thin crust with a spongy and soft interior. If I were to double my recipe, I'm sure I would get better height, but I like the smaller size. I was also pleased that I had no need for parchment paper or greasing the baker. My bread just popped right out when I tipped it over and the baker stayed relatively clean. The additinal bonus is that the loaf baker is light, so for those who find enameled and cast iron ovens too heavy, this is an excellent alternative. Also, it cools down much quicker than cast iron and it looks pretty set out on my kitchen hutch. This is made in France so the enamel and craftsmanship is quality and it feels like it will last a long time. I highly recommend this to those who enjoy home baking and would like sandwich-stylebread!
