Emile Henry Reviews

I purchased 12 of these,used them for a chili party.They hold a good serving and dress up the table with the design,the cobalt blue is a deep true cobalt,I put them in the dishwasher,no chipping,I do put a papertowel between them when I stack them away in the pantry.I own a lot of Emile Henry,very high quality,well worth the investment,these will be passed down to my childern.

We've had this product for about a month now and it works exactly as promised. It is very nice to have butter you can actually spread. I have already sent this as a gift to other "butter lovers". If you enjoy butter this is a must have. As with all of our Emile Henry products, the quality is top notch.

I like real butter. It's a pain to keep spreadable. The conundrum is that you want it fresh, so you keep it in the fridge, but keeping it there makes it hard and it tears up the bread and is annoying to use. Butter costs enough that I'm sure I've wasted the price of this pot several times over every few months from butter going rancid in a butter dish kept on the kitchen counter.

This pot uses water as a "lid" to keep oxygen away from butter that is left out of the refrigerator. You do have to keep the "bell" filled but this is not a tough job. Now I can keep butter blocks frozen, thawing only enough for the pot (about two sticks) -- and it will keep fresh for at least a week, not a BIT of rancidity creeping in anywhere. You can tell by the smell and color it's totally fresh.

The red color is beautiful, a true scarlet, almost Chinese red. The workmanship is nice, it looks handmade. It's heavier than expected, a real pottery feel. It would make an unusual and appreciated gift for anyone who cooks or enjoys soft butter.

Butter can be better when served in a truly elegant country butter pot. Emile Henry Couleurs does not fail. Buy it, you will love it. And, have something absolutely unique -- no kidding!

If you have a red kitchen you simply can't live without this because it's red hot and cool and functional too!

...It holds a stick of butter and looks good on the counter/for parties.I am one of those people who prefer real butter on good food,this was a neat addition to my kitchen.

Short: Love the bowls. Feel a bit ripped by the price. Over $... a bowl is a lot to pay, but for cereal and icecream, these bowls are great. Don't buy enough for a large meal or table setting. These are for you and your favorite book in bed on Saturday morning. Deep bowls but not too large. Perfect for cereal and milk.

No two ways about it, Emile Henry does a fabulous job making pottery. These bowls have become my favorites, nice and chunky, perfect size for a bowl of cereal or a good-sized serving of chili. Heat in the microwave nicely, and can even go in the oven. Clean up beautifully in the dishwasher.

They look good, too. :)

THESE BOWLS ARE GORGEOUS, VERY STURDY,A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO ANYONES KITCHEN.

While the examples of place settings are lovely, they are not for me - interested in "busier" patterns. country-type patterns Thanks

These dishes are wonderful - strong and attractive, with just the right weight. When I first picked up the dinner plate, I was surprised by how nice and heavy it felt - great quality. It's important to know that the pieces ARE NOT an opaque white color - when I ordered mine I was expecting these solid bright white pieces. Rather, they are more of a translucent bright white glaze - beautiful still, but not solid. Nonetheless, I am in love with the dinnerware and could never return any of the pieces!

I own both Le Creuset and Emile Henry cookware and serving pieces and I have to admit when it comes to red colours Emile Henry wins hands down. This is the most beautiful and vivid a red and as sappy as it sounds, the colour literally makes me smile. His dishes are beautiful and so well made.
