Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Emile Henry 614553 Flame Top 5-1/2-Quart Round Stewpot, Red
Customer Review: Need for No Knead
Summary: 5 Stars
As with another reviewer, I also primarily use this for no knead bread, although I have a few old cast-iron dutch oven recipes I am aching to try. I bought this primarily because someone who borrowed my dutch oven failed to clean it properly, and it rusted. I am now in better financial shape and appreciate great kitchen items, so I decided to splurge. I was looking at the Le Creuset line when I came across this beauty. At the same time I was getting into bread baking and I discovered the no-knead method outlined by Jim Lahey in his wonderful book "My Bread". In the book he recommends several options, but the biggest problem with using most enamel covered cast iron pots is that you have to remove the handle, or you risk damaging it during the high temperature baking (475-500F). There were two models I found that would not have this problem. The first was the Kitchenaid cast-iron/enamel with the silicone handle. That is a tough one to find. The second is this beauty. The Emile Henry is made entirely of ceramic, so the heating properties of cast iron are the same, but the weight is essentially half. Also, the handle is formed into the lid during manufacturing making the whole pot ceramic, and capable of handling temperatures well over anything I will bake. The surface is very easy to clean, and it does the no-knead trick well. I hope to return to this review after cooking another dish, but for now, this one is a star. You can't beat the Amazon price either.
Description of Emile Henry 614553 Flame Top 5-1/2-Quart Round Stewpot, Red
Emile Henry Flame Top cookware, a technological innovation. An innovation in ceramics technology, Emile Henry's new line of Burgundy Clay Flame-Top ceramics products work directly on a gas flame or an electric or halogen hob without a diffuser, without any fear of cracking or breaking. Much lighter, (30%), than many types of comparable metal cookware products, Flame-Top is microwave and dishwasher-safe, cleans up very easily, is extremely strong and durable, goes under the broiler, and can go directly from a freezer or a refrigerator to a hot oven to the table, where it will retain the cooking heat for a very long time. This recent innovation from Emile Henry is a break-through in ceramics technology. Unlike most metal cookware products, Flame-Top cookware can sit on a very hot open flame for an extended period of time without any ingredients in the cook pot, and they will not crack, discolor or break. Perfect for braising, browning and slow cooking due to the incredibly gentle heat distribution properties of Burgundy Clay, Flame-Top products cook evenly and thoroughly when used on top of the stove, in the oven or even in the microwave. Enhancing this gentle cooking action are raised dots on the underneath side of each lid that evenly distribute evaporated juices directly back into the cooking food. This self-basting technique produces a more thoroughly cooked, tender and moist dish than with traditional lids, which force liquids to run down the sides of the pot, and which contribute to uneven cooking. Emile Henry Flame-Top ceramic cookware is light and versatile, and better brings out the flavors of all cooked foods.Dutch Ovens
