Review of Emile Henry 6-inch Side Plates, Set of 4, Cerise

Like all the Emile Henry pottery, these plates are safe anywhere: dishwashers, broilers, conventional ovens or microwave ones.Very nice-looking, too, with fine color and flawless glazed finish.

Product Description
Marcigny, a small town nestled between the hills of Southern Burgundy, has been home to Emile Henry for the past 150 years. Faithful to its origins, the entire production is carried out here. Thanks to its clay, rich in refractory properties, Burgundy has remained a fertile area for potters, passing on their savoir-faire from generation to generation. Clay, a natural and noble material, has been used since the mists of the time to cook or preserve food. While respecting the traditional techniques, Emile Henry has introduced technological improvements (Ceradon) so that the dishes are more resistant to mechanical and thermal shock. Strong and durable, all Emile Henry pieces can be taken directly from the freezer to a hot oven, can go under a broiler and are microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe. The natural clay is unsurpassed for conducting and retaining heat. All pieces are perfect for everyday use and carry a 3 year warranty against defects.

Review of Nautica Arctic Night Vegetable/ Serve Bowl

I received this bowl as a wedding gift five years ago.I still use it on a regular basis; it has proven to be useful for many things.

I can empty a 16 oz. bag of frozen vegetables into the bowl, add seasonings, cover it with plastic wrap, and microwave.One bowl cooking!Yes!Just be careful when removing it from the microwave; the stoneware retains a lot of heat and is therefore very hot.

This bowl even makes brussels sprouts look good!The two toned black glaze is very attractive, and draws attention to the food that you've worked so hard to prepare.I have put everything in it from salad to soup to dessert.The convenient rim allows you to carry it around easily; I've even taken it to an outdoor picnic.

I like that I can cook in it, then just put the leftovers straight into the fridge.Cleanup is easy because it's dishwasher safe.It is still holding up after five years, and I know I am going to use it for many more.

Product Description
Nautica Arctic Night vegetable / serve bowl is a versatile addition to your collection.Use to serve side dishes, vegetables; also use as an oversized individual bowl to serve ice cream, cereal and more.

Review of Royal Albert Old Country Roses Covered Vegetable Tureen

It's beautiful and the pattern matches all the other Old Country Roses items I've purchased, but it does not have the same quality of China.It is oven safe so maybe it's intended to be thicker.Anyway, it's a great deal for the price I paid.It was on sale and I got free shipping.

Product Description
Royal Albert's "Old Country Roses" design is one of the most popular bone china patterns of all time.The success of Royal Albert, founded in 1896, billows from its quintessentially English grace and elegance and its sense of timeless, romantic fantasy.
