Emile Henry Ceramic Bread/Potato Cooker | Charcoal

Ooh what a relief to have a fine quality, light and easy to use/clean bakeware! I’ve been using a heavy dutch oven in making bread. I’ve been baking bread since the pandemic began last year. And after the first bake in my EH I am in love! It produced crunchy, delicious bread. It’s worth the splurge!

Not only is this pot adorable but it makes a great loaf of bread. It makes a smaller rounder loaf of bread and is super lightweight unlike my cast iron. It is very easy to clean however I noticed a little black coloring that I can't seem to remove, not much, it still looks great. I highly recommend this product.

Fantastic to make bread at home. The bowl makes a nice round loaf instead of a flattened one that usually happens when the bread is sitting by itself in the oven. Crust is crunchy, bread tastes good. I let the dough sit for 18 hours like recommended. Used the bread recipe that was included with the bowl and it worked the first time. This makes a manageable size loaf of bread with only 3 cups of flour instead of the usual giant loaf recipes. Easy to eat up while still fresh, with another loaf prepping in the wings. Haven’t used it for potatoes, not sure I want to put anything else in it besides beautiful bread.

I love this item. Makes the perfect sized round loaf. Bread never sticks and easy to clean.

Nothing I can add to the glowing reviews, really. I've had mine for four years and it is a marvel in how beautifully it bakes bread. I paid one hundred-twenty nine for mine on Amazon 4 years ago. Not surprised when I saw how the price has risen, but that the tariffs.

I have 7 Emile Henry pieces now and I love them all, you really can’t go wrong. The all perform as promised, I have not used this bread/potato pot for potatoes but I do use it to make sourdough Bread 2-3 times a week. I prefer this pot to the bread cloche since it’s smaller and easier to handle, I love the texture of the bread that comes out of the piece. Since the bowl is round and can withstand temperature change I let it proof in the fridge then it goes straight into the oven, one less bowl to clean. I also love that the interior is all glazed, I find that the glaze makes clean up easier and keeps the pot looking new and he red is beautiful. I believe I got this when it was on sale for $99, I think it was worth every penny, I really don’t use my bread cloche anymore for my round loaves. The cons are that it is more fragile than cast iron and my first one arrived with a broken handle but now that it has been replaced it is perfect. I would like another one in my future.

Item delivered smashed to bits.

Bought this on the recommendation of Jim Lahey, whose no-knead bread recipe is my favorite. I am getting older, and the cast-iron Dutch oven I have been baking that bread in was getting very heavy. This is much lighter, and does the same fabulous job of holding in steam to create a crisp crust. I preheat the vessel (and top) with the oven, so it heats up gradually. Then place the dough in the hot pot, cover it, and let it bake with the cover on, then take cover off at the end to brown further. I rolled the dough in rice flour for proofing in a bannaton, and sprinkled the bottom of the heated pot with cornmeal before plopping the dough into it, and had zero sticking.
