The wide base and shallow sides of Emile Henry's Flame-top Brazier make it the ideal choice for creating sticky, all-day-long dishes like braised lamb shanks or chicken thighs. Instead of submerging the food in a stewing liquid, the Flame-Top Brazier coaxes the flavors and liquid from the ingredients, creating a succulent concentrated dish that has a rich mouth-feel and heedy aroma. The 3.4 qt Brazier is the right size for 3-4 shanks, half a dozen thighs, Emile Henry's Flame Collection was a culinary innovation that was a long time coming. With decades of development, the Flame Collection is one of the first stovetop ceramic cookware lines on the market. With many of the same properties as cast-iron, and quite a few more, the Flame collection offers cooks an option they've historically never had. The cookware works on all stove-tops (even induction with the induction adapter plate - sold separately). It holds heat longer than traditional cookware; has a footed base for even heat distribution; and, is dishwasher safe - all while weighing nearly 30 percent less than cast iron. The tight fitting lids with condensation spikes lock moisture in and redistribute it over the food during the cooking process.
