Bakeware Reviews

I have waited a long time (suffering with a pyrex for years) for Emile Henry to produce a green pie dish - and this one is perfect. It sets off my apple pie beautifully. If you like to bake, then treat yourself to this gorgeous pie dish.

I hesitate to bring 'Emile' into public settings, because people are always trying to walk off with this favorite pie dish. Originally bought this back in '95 at an exclusive Kitchen boutique (hello $$$) for its good looks and solid feel, but quickly discovered that their 'special Burgundian clay' was not just a marketing gimmick, but really helps maintain a crisp crust, even with the juiciest of fillings - the heat-conducting material also seems to get the filling hotter quicker, so you don't end up with a singed top crust. When they say 'deep dish' they are not kidding: you can really pack it into this dish. The fact that it goes freezer-to-oven-to-dishwasher is no small bonus, either. Previously not much of a pie baker, I have somehow now acquired (along with 2 additional 'Emile' pie dishes, a reputation for my pies. If you take yours into public, just be sure to write your name on the bottom with a PERMANENT marker, or you may never see it again!!

Before I got this dish I baked a couple of pies on thanksgiving, one in a Pyrex dish, the other in one of those disposable things from the supermarket. I bought this because it was so pretty, and it made me feel special to have such a nice piece. I bought the second one because I began making pies more often, and why should only the apple pie look beautiful on Thanksgiving? The pies seemed to cook better, but I wasn't sure if it because they did or I liked the pans so much. Last year I made two pies for some guests to take home in those tins from the supermarket and oh, my what a difference. They are certianly not a kitchen requirement but if you like how they look and want to treat yourself they certainly are nice. Oh, and they clean very easily as well. ...

The item arrived almost two months after I ordered it and it had a broken lid.

The first shipment arrived with pieces broken. The lids do not fit. They are much too heavy.

I ordered this for my wife to go with some other red cookware she owns. The set arrived intact, although oddly packaged, a small box inside a much too large outer box with inadequate bubble pillows (packing material) just thrown in. The outer box was pretty beaten up, with the tape split on two sides.

Although the dishes appear to be quite sturdy, we are planning to donate them to a charity. The color is a dingy grey red, not at all as pictured on Amazon. The low price lured me in, I should have known better. As the saying goes, when something looks too good to be true, it usually is.

I really liked the set of silicone bakeware I received for Christmas. Mine do not leave a funny taste, like some have complained, and they are a snap to clean up. Ease of clean up is the sole reason I wanted them. I eventually would like to get rid of all my bakeware that is metal, except cookie sheets.

I replaced my worn out cookie sheets with this product. I chose primarily because the cookie sheets are dishwasher safe. Most often I use them to roast vegetables and therefore they end up with a lot of grease. It is easy to wash off the worse, and then place in the dishwasher. It gets rid of all the excess oil which is really hard to wash off by hand.

Would recommend.
