Appolia French Ceramic Oval 6 Quart Flame Top Casserole Dish

Perfect

Perfect large size for feeding a big crowd soups, stews, brisket. Cooks stove-top or in oven very well. Cleans up very too.

Compare to Emile Henry Flame Top Cookware

I have a lot of Emile Henry Flame Top cookware, but thought I would check the Appolia out when I found this online at a GREAT price. I bought one and after it arrived I immediately bought two more to gift.

I love this large size! It will hold a moderate size turkey.

This Appolia casserole has both the look and feel of the Emile Henry large casserole dishes. I expect it will perform the same as well. I have not cooked in this pot yet, but I will update after I do.

With Emile Henry Flame Top cookware, always start on low heat and then increase the temperature slowly. I imagine that would be a good rule of thumb with this dish as well.

Depending on how high your lowest burner setting is, it may be wise to use a flame tamer/heat diffuser. This would reduce the liklihood of burning and will distribute the heat evenly on the bottom of the pot.

The pot I received had two very tiny flaws in the glaze. Not a deal breaker because…

Does the job

I have used it for tagines a handful of times and it does the job. My only disappointment is that the bottom always burns no matter how low I let it cook.

The first one came with a cracked lid. They sent a replacement.
