Product Review

More than a sizeable roaster for family gatherings and holiday meals, the Emile Henry Flame Top Large Roaster serves up incredible meals weekday to weekend. Tender pork loin, vegetarian lasagna, oven beef stew and blueberry cobbler taste mouth-watering moist and delicious cooked in the 6.3-qt. large roaster. Honey-glazed chicken on the stove top or blackened salmon on grill turn out as crowd pleasers in this all-around Flame Top roaster that uses little or no added fats. The first ceramic cookware safe for oven, cooktop, microwave, grill and open flame to 750 F, the Emile Henry roasting pan is crafted in France from high-fired natural Burgundy clay. With exclusive Flame technology, the Flame Top roaster lets you braise, sear and saute meats and vegetables even over direct flames. The hand-finished, glazed ceramic dish will not chip, scratch or discolor and does not absorb stains, odors or flavors.

Five years of research and development created the PFOA- and PTFE-free Flame Top line that excels in uniform, natural cooking and keeps foods like thyme sweet potatoes, sheet cakes and bread pudding hot longer. The easy-to-handle Emile Henry roasting pan is 30% lighter than similar cast-iron or enamel cookware and can go directly from freezer to a hot oven without countertop warm up. Each rich color makes the large roaster a stylish serving dish for any occasion. The Flame Top roaster cleans up quickly by hand and is dishwasher-safe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heavy, deep pan, January 28, 2011

This review is from: Emile Henry Flame-Top 17-1/5-by-11-1/5-Inch Roaster, Red (Kitchen)
Nice, heavy pan. I bought it mostly for lasagna because it's hard to find a deep lasagna pan and this one is just right. I've also used it to bake a chicken in sauce and to bake a cake and it worked well for both. It weighs over six pounds when it's empty, though, so it is a bit heavy when it has food in it.
For some reason, the directions say that it needs to be seasoned before using it the first time. Per their instructions, I boiled a little bit of milk in it to season it and it was a little hard to get the burned milk off the bottom of the pan (guess I boiled it too long), and there was one area of black that did not come off. Tonight, I made a dish I got off of their website and some food burned on the bottom of the pan when I was browning the chicken on the stovetop and it also left black marks, even after scrubbing with a plastic mesh scrubber. The cleaning instructions on Emile Henry's website only say to soak the pan to get rid of burnt-on food. I will have to...Read more

I love this pan. Perfect for lasagna (freezer to oven - FANTASTIC). The roaster is big - it took some creative rearranging to get this into the storage cabinet but its worth it. I'm eyeing the smaller one for baking needs. Emile Henry Flame Top is just so easy to use and so easy to clean.

This review is from: Emile Henry Flame Top Roaster, 15.6-Inch by 10.4-Inch, Red (Kitchen)
I'll never actually use this pan before I return it, so I can't comment on its performance. What I can say is the pan is ridiculously small. I had dithered for weeks between the 15x10 and the 17x11, finally opting for the smaller as more practical for everyday use. Sadly, when I received it, the pan labeled "15.6 x 10.4 inches" turned out to perfectly fit a standard letter sized piece of paper in the bottom: thus, it's actually about 8.5 x 11" (it slopes out a bit, so you could call it 10x12). The only way to call it 15.5" is by measuring the handles. Stupid of Emile Henry to misrepresent the size like this. I'd never owned one of their pieces before and now I'll never consider another.
