Product Description:
An innovation in ceramics technology, Emile Henry's 1.9-qt. Flame Top Casserole works directly on a gas flame or an electric or halogen hob without a diffuser and without fear of cracking or breaking. Extremely durable and versatile, it can also be used in the broiler or oven and transported directly to the table, refrigerator, or freezer. Much lighter than many comparable metal cookware products, it cleans up easily and is both microwave- and dishwasher-safe. Plus, cooking in ceramic is still the best way to preserve the flavors and nuritional qualities in food, as well as develop the aromas. The convenient lid features small bumps on its underside that favor the condensation process and return important vapors back into the food.

Rating : - Quality Product
I haven't used this pot yet, but want to reassure buyers that it is very strong and has a wonderful, durable feel. It also feels very smooth rather than grainy; and the $53.00 pot I bought on Amazon arrived with no blemishes in texture, although there was a slightly imperfect lip/edge area on the pot rim under the lid in one spot. I am willing to live with slight imperfections to save money; and this one ought to cause no problems in the future and is barely noticeable. I'm sure i'll enjoy owing this pot. It is clearly high quality.
