Emile Henry Ceramic Casserole Sublime+ Slate ø 26.5 cm / 5.5 Litres - induction suitable

Forget the eternal debate between cast iron and earthenware - the Emile Henry Ceramic Casserole Sublime+ Slate combines the best of both worlds in one pan you'll want to keep using. Light enough to fill to the brim, versatile enough for any hob, and beautiful enough to serve straight from it at the table. This is the pan that turns your midweek stew into a memorable meal.

Why the Sublime+ is different from what you know

Most ceramic pans choose: either they are beautiful, or they are practical. The Emile Henry Sublime+ chooses both. Made from Flame Ceramic - a French craftsmanship from Burgundy - this casserole is significantly lighter than a classic cast iron variant, but without losing an ounce of heat distribution or durability. Fill it to the brim with a Burgundy beef stew, and you can still lift it effortlessly from the hob.

• Works on any hob - induction, gas, ceramic, halogen, and electric: you choose, the pan adapts
• From hob to oven to barbecue - heat resistant up to 290 °C, also suitable for the BBQ
• Much lighter than cast iron - packed full of stew meat yet easy to handle
• Natural non-stick glaze - minimal sticking, and you can use metal kitchen utensils
• Dishwasher safe - just pop it in the dishwasher after enjoying, done
• PFAS-free - no harmful substances, just pure ceramic
• 5-year warranty - Emile Henry fully stands behind it

The art of self-basting

Here lies the real magic: the lid of the Sublime+ is not just a cover, it is a flavour enhancer. The inside of the lid features small bumps that capture condensation and evenly drip it back over your dish. This means your stew meat continuously bathes in its own juices, keeping the meat tender, concentrating the flavours, and resulting in a deeper and richer taste than you are used to. Slow cooking as it should be - without needing to stand over it the whole time.

Whether you're simmering a leg of lamb on a Sunday afternoon, making a hearty chicken soup on a cold weekday evening, or preparing a stew with red wine and winter vegetables: the Sublime+ does exactly what a good casserole should do. First, sear on high heat for that lovely crust and deep Maillard reaction, then put the lid on and let it cook. That's the recipe for flavour.

From hob to table - without detours

The soft, rounded shapes of the Sublime+ in the matte Slate colour look just as good on the table as they do in the kitchen. You lift the pan from the heat, place it in the centre of the table, and everyone digs in. No separate serving dishes, no fuss - just enjoy together what you've made. That's cooking too: making the moment of sharing as important as the preparation itself.

Handmade in France, where they have mastered ceramic cooking for generations, the Sublime+ immediately feels like a pan with character. The Slate finish is matte, chic, and timeless - a pan that will look just as beautiful on your table in ten years as it does today.

Practical and durable: just as it should be

After enjoying, you don't want to spend hours washing up. The inside of the Sublime+ has an acid-resistant glaze with natural non-stick properties, making it easy to clean up leftovers. And if you want to throw it in the dishwasher: that's perfectly fine. The pan is completely dishwasher safe. Quality that proves itself in practice - day after day.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Let the pan preheat briefly on medium heat before searing - ceramic retains heat wonderfully, but needs a moment to warm up evenly. The result? Perfect browning without hotspots, and meat that releases from the bottom when it's ready.
