About the Emile Henry Ceramic Stone 37cm
The Emile Henry ceramic stone, 37 cm round, is a glazed stone from a respected French cookware maker. It heats evenly and, unlike bare cordierite, the glaze wipes clean and resists the staining that raw stones pick up over time.
Glazed ceramic sits between cordierite and steel: it browns the base well, looks tidy after years of use, and can double as a serving surface. Emile Henry's reputation for durable, attractive cookware carries into a stone that is as much a keeper as a tool.

Common questions
Is a glazed pizza stone better than an unglazed one?
The main advantage is cleaning: a glazed stone like the Emile Henry wipes clean and resists the permanent staining and odor that raw cordierite picks up. Baking performance is similar, both brown the base well. Choose glazed if you want a tidy stone that lasts and looks good; unglazed if you want the cheapest option.
Can the Emile Henry stone go on a grill?
Yes, it is rated for oven and grill use. Its even heating and durable glaze handle grill temperatures, and the clean surface means it doubles as a serving plate straight from the heat. As with any stone, heat it gradually and avoid thermal shocks like cold water on a hot surface.
