Emile Henry 9" Pie Dish — Modern Classics Sugar, 9-inch Burgundian Ceramic, Oven‑to‑Table Durable Glaze

The Emile Henry 9" Pie Dish from the Modern Classics Collection is a hand-finished Burgundian ceramic baker designed to deliver even heat for perfectly baked sweet and savory pies and to go straight from oven to table.

Made in Southern Burgundy using natural clay and traditional French craftsmanship, this 9-inch pie dish was redesigned with American recipes, portions, and presentation in mind. Emile Henry’s Modern Classics line marries the brand’s signature high-performance Burgundy clay with contemporary American shapes, producing a pie dish that heats evenly, resists thermal shock, and makes serving effortless.

How does this dish improve pie baking results?

The dense Burgundy clay absorbs and releases heat evenly, promoting consistent baking from edge to center so crusts brown without burning and fillings set without drying out. The ceramic construction reduces hot spots common with metal pans, helping fragile custard or fruit fillings retain moisture.

• Even heat distribution across the base and sides for uniform baking.
• Retains warmth for table service so pies stay appealing when served.
• Glazed surface minimizes sticking for cleaner slices and easier cleanup.

What are the practical limits and care instructions?

This pie dish is oven-safe up to 500°F and suitable for use under a broiler and in the microwave; it was developed to withstand everyday cooking while maintaining a refined finish. Avoid sudden, extreme temperature changes to preserve the glaze and long-term integrity of the clay.

• Oven safe to 500°F, broiler and microwave friendly for versatile use.
• Hand-wash recommended to preserve sheen, though glaze is durable.
• Avoid moving directly from freezer to a preheated oven to prevent thermal shock.

What makes the Modern Classics design different from other pie plates?

Modern Classics was created with American kitchens in mind: shapes, depths, and rim proportions reflect common U.S. recipes and portion expectations. Each piece is individually formed and hand-finished by artisans, combining Emile Henry’s historical techniques and clay formulation with contemporary styling.

• Specifically sized and shaped for American pies, tarts, quiches, and pot pies.
• Hand-formed and finished for subtle variations and artisan character.
• Durable glaze paired with natural Burgundy clay for long-term performance.

How will this dish perform for everyday use and entertaining?

Beyond baking, the dish’s attractive glaze and refined silhouette make it suitable for serving directly on the table—no transfer required. Its heat retention keeps dishes warm during dinner, while the sturdy construction handles frequent use in family and entertaining settings.

• Attractive enough to serve at the table, reducing replating and mess.
• Durable for weeknight dinners yet elegant for special occasions.
• Works for both sweet desserts and savory preparations like quiche or pot pie.

Who is this for? The Emile Henry 9" Pie Dish is ideal for home bakers who value consistent results, cooks who prefer cookware that doubles as serveware, and anyone looking to invest in long-lasting, handcrafted ceramic bakeware tuned to American recipe sizes.
