Emile Henry Rice Pot

Paste Perfect Rice!
Respect for tastes and textures.
The expert in grains cooked to perfection and sublime flavors.

Long or round, Thai or Camargue, wild or whole... Emile Henry Rice Pot is inspired by traditional Japanese ceramic pots, donabes, to perfect the cooking of rice. Its thick walls gently diffuse the heat of the fire for respectful and uniform cooking of each grain of rice, while retaining moisture. 1/3 of the cooking is done off the heat thanks to the thermal properties of ceramic.
The taste is enhanced, the nutrients preserved. Also suitable for cooking cereals, quinoa, etc.
Compatible with all heat sources, except induction. Oven safe up to 290 °C
1 Dutch oven = 800g to 1kg of rice, i.e. 4 portions for a main dish, or approximately 6 portions for rice as an accompaniment.
A unique 3-piece design for optimal cooking!

Emile Henry Rice Pot has a perforated interior lid which:
- prevents overflows - brings to the boil more quickly - slightly pressurizes the pot - keeps the steam close to the rice to perfect - even cooking - prevents the upper part from drying out.

Before using pour milk (orsoya milk) onto the bottom so that it would be fully covered. Heat the milk at low temperature to near boiling-point and let it cool down before cleaning, Clean and dry carefully.
You can also heat 1 l of water with 150 g of rice at low temperature for 5 minutes.
You must never heat empty pot, whenever starting cooking put some oil or water into the pot so that it would be covered with liquid.
Always start cooking using low temperatures.
Do not put the pot onto cold surface or cold water, if the pot is hot. After having taken the pot from the oven or cooktop, always put it on neutral surface (wood or textile).
Emile Henry "Flame" products may also be used in the oven (and microwave oven) and on all cooktops (special plate is needed for using it on induction cooktops).
When heating the product expands causing small cracks in the glaze visible with light-coloured products. These cracks are not defects, it proves that the product withstands temperature changes and has long service-life.

This is a hand-made product and it may have minor unevennesses. These are not defects and have no impact on product functionality.

Do not use the product on a cooktop with a smaller diamater than that of the pot!
