Classics is a Parisian café from which emanates the smells of a traditional French breakfast served on a checkered tablecloth. It’s a comforting, old kitchen from which you can hear the sounds of onion soup simmering for hours on the stove top. It’s a country house where the appetizing smell of potato gratin awakens your taste buds on a Sunday morning. 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 molds, produces his dishes and signed each one with his initials. High resistance oven ceramic was developed for slow, even cooking in the oven and microwave. HR oven ceramic is available in Natural Colors, Urban Colors and Classics collections. During everyday use, there are many opportunities to band a dish or a set of plates. Particularly resistant to shocks, our ceramic is even used in restaurants. A dish or stewpot should be able to withstand wide variations in temperature. Our ceramics allow our products to be taken directly from the freezer to the hot over (+250C/500F). Heat, the dishwasher or sharp instruments will all have an ageing effect on a product. Our glazes are particularly resistant to the dishwasher and the most aggressive of detergents. We are proud to offer products made from very high quality ceramic, which pass very rigorous quality control by our team. We are therefore pleased to offer a 10 years guarantee on all Emile Henry products. Our warranty covers any production fault or quality problem with the product when used in a normal domestic environment, and respecting the care and use instructions. Any variation in the finish of the item is due to the handiwork carried out in our workshops and does not alter in any way the culinary qualities of our dishes.
