Emile Henry Ceramic Bread/Potato Cooker | Charcoal

Ooh what a relief to have a fine quality, light and easy to use/clean bakeware! I’ve been using a heavy dutch oven in making bread. I’ve been baking bread since the pandemic began last year. And after the first bake in my EH I am in love! It produced crunchy, delicious bread. It’s worth the splurge!

I was beginning to think I needed a new oven. I've been making sourdough and no matter what I tried it always was too dark on the bottom. I use the book Flour Water Salt Yeast and it mentioned Emile Henry pans. So I finally decided to try it. Wow what a difference. The first loaf came out perfectly. Now they all do and I don't need a new oven!!! So excited to share my bread without being embarrassed over the bottom. Cookie sheets and baking stones didn't make a difference with my Dutch ovens. Now I don't need them either

Bought this on the recommendation of Jim Lahey, whose no-knead bread recipe is my favorite. I am getting older, and the cast-iron Dutch oven I have been baking that bread in was getting very heavy. This is much lighter, and does the same fabulous job of holding in steam to create a crisp crust. I preheat the vessel (and top) with the oven, so it heats up gradually. Then place the dough in the hot pot, cover it, and let it bake with the cover on, then take cover off at the end to brown further. I rolled the dough in rice flour for proofing in a bannaton, and sprinkled the bottom of the heated pot with cornmeal before plopping the dough into it, and had zero sticking.

I have 7 Emile Henry pieces now and I love them all, you really can’t go wrong. The all perform as promised, I have not used this bread/potato pot for potatoes but I do use it to make sourdough Bread 2-3 times a week. I prefer this pot to the bread cloche since it’s smaller and easier to handle, I love the texture of the bread that comes out of the piece. Since the bowl is round and can withstand temperature change I let it proof in the fridge then it goes straight into the oven, one less bowl to clean. I also love that the interior is all glazed, I find that the glaze makes clean up easier and keeps the pot looking new and he red is beautiful. I believe I got this when it was on sale for $99, I think it was worth every penny, I really don’t use my bread cloche anymore for my round loaves. The cons are that it is more fragile than cast iron and my first one arrived with a broken handle but now that it has been replaced it is perfect. I would like another one in my future.

Fantastic to make bread at home. The bowl makes a nice round loaf instead of a flattened one that usually happens when the bread is sitting by itself in the oven. Crust is crunchy, bread tastes good. I let the dough sit for 18 hours like recommended. Used the bread recipe that was included with the bowl and it worked the first time. This makes a manageable size loaf of bread with only 3 cups of flour instead of the usual giant loaf recipes. Easy to eat up while still fresh, with another loaf prepping in the wings. Haven’t used it for potatoes, not sure I want to put anything else in it besides beautiful bread.

Not only is this pot adorable but it makes a great loaf of bread. It makes a smaller rounder loaf of bread and is super lightweight unlike my cast iron. It is very easy to clean however I noticed a little black coloring that I can't seem to remove, not much, it still looks great. I highly recommend this product.

Nothing I can add to the glowing reviews, really. I've had mine for four years and it is a marvel in how beautifully it bakes bread. I paid one hundred-twenty nine for mine on Amazon 4 years ago. Not surprised when I saw how the price has risen, but that the tariffs.

This is my best pan for baking sourdough bread so good I bought a second one. It’s makes the perfectly shaped loaf I have 10 other baking vessels which are too heavy like cast iron which I have retired. This EH is by far the best pan I have it doesn’t burn and the shape is perfect. It cleans up nicely even burned on places .it’s very durable I love them .

Great for baking no knead bread. Looks great for potatoes too. Added note: very little sticks to the surface, so just a wipe with a damp dish cloth and done/put away.

The top does not fit tightly to the bottom: it rocks back and forth. Happens in both positions (180 degrees apart). Steam escapes through the gap, defeating its purpose for baking bread. Emile Henry has been making ceramic cookware for 150+ years.... but hasn't figured out how to keep their products from warping?

Excelente producto no solo para pan quedan super las hogazas de pan también sirve para multiples platillos que requiren un lento y uniforme cocimiento.

Using it to bake bread, the pot is light as compared to cast iron pots. Greatly appreciate the good efforts taken by Seller to prevent it from being broken during delivery 👍👍👍 Likely to buy again. This is the first Emile Henry pot received intact. The previous EH pot was broken during delivery due to poor packing.

Arrivata in tempi rapidi. Ho aspettato di cucinare prima di fare la prima recensione. Rispetto alla patatiera di fascia base, che avevo e che ha iniziato a deteriorarsi e a sbriciolarsi, non c'è paragone. Ha l'apertura più grande quindi può essere anche usata per altro. Ottima in tutto, non serve lo spargifiamma che però ho usato. Le patate sono venute perfette. Usata anche con indivia, venuta ottima. Consiglio.
