Emile Henry is a name synonymous with quality. And it should be. This is a company that was founded in 1850 and is still thriving today. Located in Marcigny, a small town in the province of Burgundy, France, Emile Henry has established a worldwide reputation for manufacturing the finest quality ceramic ovenware, gourmet cooking products, and bakeware products. Still owned and operated by the Henry family, the company today manufactures all of their new cooking products from Burgundy clay using their proprietary High Resistance Oven Ceramic state-of-the-art manufacturing process.
With Roots In Burgundy
Burgundy is noted for world-famous wines that are grown in the mineral-rich limestone soils of the region. 
Imparting fantastic terroir in the wines, it is these soils and clays that go into the special clay cookware-crafting formulas that are the basis of all Emile Henry ceramic cookware and other products.
Worldwide, professional chefs and home cooks appreciate Emile Henry for the many products and shapes that are properly designed for cooking and baking. The products have the right dimensions, the correct depth and the special features that make Emile Henry products so desirable for everyone that enjoys cooking and eating great foods.
Why Chefs Love Emile Henry
- Burgundy clay evenly and slowly diffuses heat to the very center of the cooking dish. Food is cooked evenly, which brings out the flavors and aromas. Burgundy clay has superior heat retention properties which keep food hot and more flavorsome when resting on the dining table or on a kitchen sideboard.
- All Emile Henry products are direct freezer-to-oven. They exhibit extraordinary thermal shock properties. They go under the broiler and in the microwave.
- Emile Henry products do not chip or crack easily. One can cut directly on the surface without scratching or damaging the product.
- The surfaces do not trap and hold baked-on or burnt food. Cleaning is remarkably easy. All Emile Henry products can go in the dishwasher.
- There is no lead or cadmium in our products, all of the glazes meet California Prop 65, and all of the products are 100% food safe. Offered in a large variety of colors, the glazes will not craze, discolor or fade over time.
- All Emile Henry products carry a limited household ten (10) year warranty against breakage due to defective workmanship.

It’s that time again!
Our annual Wusthof Knive event featuring Executive Chef Mike Garaghty and Knife Expert hank Allen, both from Wusthof, will be on-hand to demonstrate the proper usage of select knives. Also in the store, you’ll find local knife maker Bruce Bochman doing sharpening demonstrations. Bring your knives in to be sharpened by an expert–the first one is FREE! They don’t have to be Wusthof knives to be sharpened but after trying some you might want to upgrade!
If you attended last year, you’ll remember how fun and informative it was to see Chef Garaghty craft lovely, edible creations from apples and strawberries. We’re not certain what he has in store this year but you’ll find if you visit during the event. Mark your calendar for Saturday, November 19, 2019, from 11 am to 3 pm and then come visit us at 301 SE 6th Street to see the latest Wusthof knives in action by a seasoned pro.
You’ll also enjoy One-Day-Only discounts on select knives.

Summer time! Summer is a time for vacations and staycations, parties and barbecues, adventures and travels, good tomatoes and fresh fruit, visits to the farmer’s market, visits to see family
Nothing says summer in southern Oregon like a trip to the river or picking wild blackberries (yep, they are everywhere). There are a lot of things you can do with those blackberries besides just popping the juicy, sun-warmed berries straight in to your mouth.
There’s blackberry jam, blackberry ice cream, blackberry compote, blackberry cobbler, blackberry crumble, blackberries in a fruit salad, blackberries on a green salad, etc.
We’d like to suggest one of the most beautiful ways to share and serve blackberries (or any berry for that matter)…
BERRIES ON A BUNDT CAKE.
It can be a naked cake with just berries or a glazed or frosted cake with berries. Bundt cakes typically hold up well when being transported (to those parties, barbecues, and family gatherings) but even better than that is how beautiful they are!
Most people have (or have seen) a basic bundt pan but did you know that Nordic Ware makes several decorative bundt cake pans in a variety of sizes. They make so many and they are so pretty that some people just buy them as a collector’s item and never actually use them to bake cakes! Nordic Ware is the largest manufacturer of bundt cake pans and they are made here in the US. You can read about it here.
The Kitchen Company has the largest assortment of bundts to choose from including
full size, half size, bundtlettes, cakelets, tartlettes, tea cakes, charms, and loaves.
Visit the store and choose your favorite. You’ll be the buzz of the party! And just to help you along, here’s a link to a recipe straight from Nordic Ware.
Just click the pretty picture!
