The glaze is so hard, you can cut inside the dish without harming the surface. The products are also highly resistant to chipping.
The high firing temperatures used in manufacture, the eathenware is fired at 1150°C, means that the clay is extremely strong and resistant to chipping as well as ensuring that the surface of each piece is perfectly smooth.
In the dishwasher, or by hand, Emile Henry is easy to clean and will retain its vibrant colour without dulling and fading from washing. For heavy duty cleaning leave the dish to soak for 20 minutes to loosen off any burnt-on food, and then either wash by or hand or in the dishwasher for perfect results. The perfectly smooth glaze will not leave any trace of food, for impeccable hygiene. Emile Henry recommend good quality detergent products should be used.

Caring for Emile Flame Products
Flame is made from ceramic, specially developed to resist against any source of direct heat. It can be used directly on any gas, electric or halogen hob as well as in all ovens and microwaves. Frame can be washed in the dishwasher and can be placed in the freezer up to -20°C. The uneven surface inside Flame products is there to catch the condensation created by the steam inside the stewpot, which will then fall back onto the food. This avoids the food drying out and keeps the flavours sealed in.
When heated, the ceramic dilates slightly, creating very thin cracks in the glaze. This is not a flaw, and on the contrary is proof of their resistance to temperature and long life.
