Authentic French Terrines by Emile Henry Made Available in America Through Gourmet Catalog
New Castle, DE - May 2009 -- Emile Henry presents two authentic terrines to the American cook exclusively through Gourmet Catalog. These classic rectangular baking and serving dishes with domed lids feature simple faceted lines and gentle curves. They are rustic yet elegant and are lovely to look at and to hold.
Made in France from Burgundian clay. these terrines offer cooks the excellent properties of clay that Emile Henry has been using for over a century and a half. Burgundy clay is known for its superb heat diffusion and retention-two characteristics that ensure culinary success. Emile Henry ovenware transmits an even, steady heat, and retains it sufficiently to keep foods hot at the table. That?s why these two terrines are used for baking and cooking casseroles, vegetables, pates, seafood and meats loaves. The terrines are brought directly to the table and foods can be cut and served in the terrines. Elegant one-pot dishes.
The charming terrines do double duty for cold foods and desserts. Sorbets and ice cream, for instance, can be layered in the terrines and then placed in the freezer until serving. Elegant slices of the colorful layered frozen dessert are ready to be sliced and served at the table.
Foods prepared ahead of time in the terrinse and refrigerated or frozen can also be placed directly into a preheated oven or in the microwave. The terrines are dishwasher safe. Thoughtful as housewarming or bridal gifts, the terrines will surely become treasured family heirlooms, wearing the patina of a thousand tasty meals with style. Available in Cerise red, the terrines are made from all natural materials.
Emile Henry, located in the Burgundy town of Marcigny, is presently run by Jacques Henry, a fifth-generation descendant of the founder. A team of potters makes each piece by hand, maintaining the traditional high quality that French cooks have come to trust in Emile Henry poterie culinaire. For more information, call 302-326-4800.
