Flame Top Covered Casserole (4.2-qt.): Noir by Emile Henry

I am the owner of several (20 +) Emile Henry baking pieces and bowls. I have always enjoyed and appreciated the value of each item. This has changed since the purchase and subsequent return of the 4.2 covered casserole. I saw this item in a shop, but it was red; I wanted fig. The item I received was fig, but the glaze finish was second quality. There were even small, but noticeable spots with missing glaze. This is not what I had come to expect from Emile Henry. This fault is Emile Henry, not Cooking.com. As side note, I wrote to Emile Henry and got a form letter back with a thank you for my purchase and how happy they were. Nothing addressing their lack of quality control. Too bad. I guess it's just a sign of the times...

I haven't actually used the product yet but it is exactly as advertised and it arrived promptly and in perfect condition. Can't wait to try it but I just haven't had the time!

Very pretty - wish the discription came with hight and width measurements because it is too big for my inverter.

I like this pot a lot. I love the fact I can use it on the stove top and the go to the fridge or oven. The only negatives are the lid does not seal well and the dark color of the inside makes it a little hard to judge the depth of liqued and the color of seared meats. Still all in all well worth the price.

I bought this Emile Henry Stewpot for my son-in-law. He has always remarked on my red Emile Henry rice cooker which I just love. I searched the Internet to try and find another one like it, but do not find it available anywhere. So, I bought this one instead. He is overjoyed and wondered how I knew he had been researching these. He is especially happy with the fig color - His name is Figlo too! I'm looking forward to sharing a meal cooked in this pot!<br><br>By the way, I would like to know if I can get the rice cooker any more.<br><br>Thank you,<br>Felice Willat
