Emile Henry Oven Dish Argile - 36 x 23 x 7 cm / 2.95 Litres

Forget dry edges and uncooked centres: with the Emile Henry Oven Dish Argile, you can serve a perfect lasagne, gratin, or casserole that is evenly cooked from edge to edge. Made from Burgundy ceramic, crafted according to a tradition that dates back to 1850 - and you can taste the difference.

Why this baking dish will change your oven dishes

You know the moment: you take a casserole out of the oven, cut into it, and see that the centre is still not fully cooked while the edges are already starting to brown. With HR® ceramic, that is a thing of the past. The material absorbs heat slowly and evenly, distributes it to the heart of your dish, and then releases it gently. The result? A lasagne that is perfect from the first to the last layer.

• Even heat distribution - HR® ceramic ensures that heat penetrates to the centre of your dish, without hot spots or cold cores
• Keeps warm at the table - The dish retains heat, allowing everyone to serve themselves calmly without the dish cooling down
• From freezer to oven - Prepare your dish a day in advance, place it in the freezer, and slide it straight into the oven the next day - no fuss or waiting
• Scratch-resistant glazed surface - Feel free to cut directly in the dish with a metal knife, as the surface can handle it
• Easy to clean - Dishwasher safe and with a glazed surface that leaves little residue
• 10-year warranty - Emile Henry fully stands behind its materials, and that says enough

HR® ceramic: the secret behind more than 170 years of French cooking tradition

Emile Henry has been making its baking dishes for generations in Marcigny, right in the heart of Burgundy, from natural Burgundy clay. That origin is no coincidence - it is a conscious choice for quality that you can see in every detail. The HR® ceramic (High Resistance) has evolved through years of development into a material that manages heat in the most ideal way: slowly absorbing, evenly distributing, and retaining heat for a long time.

The glazed surface is not only tasteful in colour - the warm, earthy Argile hue also looks beautiful on the table - but also functional through and through. It is scratch and impact resistant, so you need not worry about the serving knife or a bump against the edge. Each piece is hand-finished and individually checked before it leaves the factory. That is not just marketing talk, that is craftsmanship.

Versatility that makes you happy in the kitchen

The Emile Henry Oven Dish Argile fits into any cooking routine, from weekday pasta al forno to the festive gratin dauphinois that you let simmer slowly on Sunday afternoons. The dish goes effortlessly from -20 °C in the freezer to 270 °C in the oven, and is also suitable for the grill and microwave. Handy for those who like to cook ahead: fill the dish on Sunday, freeze it, and heat it up when it suits you.

The two sturdy handles on the sides are more than just a detail - they are perfectly positioned, even when you are wearing oven gloves. Taking it out of the oven is confident and safe, without the acrobatic manoeuvres you sometimes have to perform with a smooth serving tray.

And afterwards? Just place it on the table. The dish is large enough for a hearty lasagne for four to six people (2.95 litres capacity), looks classy, and keeps the dish warm while everyone enjoys their meal. From oven to table without detours - that is exactly how it should be.

Size that is right for the real work

With an inner size of 36 x 23 cm and a depth of 7 cm, this is the dish you reach for for dishes that really matter. Large enough for a full family lasagne with multiple layers, a richly filled moussaka, or a gratin that feeds the whole table. And yet compact enough to fit neatly in an average oven without having to shift dishes around.

The weight of 1.76 kg feels sturdy and reliable, but not heavy. You can easily lift the dish when filled - especially thanks to the handles.

Note: the dish is not suitable for use on the hob or barbecue. That is the only limitation of this material, and for everything else, it performs excellently.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Prepare your lasagne or gratin a day in advance and store the dish covered in the fridge. Place it directly in the cold oven the next day and heat everything together - the ceramic warms up with it and distributes the heat so evenly that your dish tastes as if it has just been freshly made. This way, you can present an impressive plate at the table without day-of stress.
