EMILE HENRY & MAUVIEL 1830 DEBUT NEW PRODUCT FOR FOODSERVICE Both Emile Henry and Mauviel 1830 intro- duce new products designed for profession- al kitchens and tabletop presentation. Emile Henry introduces individual, or single-serve, oval and rectangle dishes for the oven and table. The new individ- ual ovals and rectangles are available in the following colors: Rouge, Leaves, Flour, Spring and Twilight. Made from Burgundian clay, which absorbs, distrib- utes and retains heat evenly, the durable, hand-applied glaze will not chip or crack over time and it will not absorb odors or flavors. According the Chef Chris Cosentino of Cockscomb in San Francisco, "the simplicity and durability of the Emile Henry cookware and bakeware are per- fect for my restaurant Cockscomb, it allows me to serve the final dish to my guests in the perfect vessel." Made in the heartland of France, home to prized Burgundy wines, fine rus- tic French cooking and the excellent properties of clay that Emile Henry has been using for over a century and a half to make its famous cook and ovenware. Burgundy clay is known for its superb heat diffusion and retention. Emile Henry pottery transmits an even, steady heat and retains it sufficiently to keep foods hot longer at the table. Foods can be pre- pared ahead of time, refrigerated or frozen, placed directly into a preheated oven or in the microwave, and served right at the table. Mauviel presents a new collection of cookware: M'250b. This cookware is made from 2.5mm of copper and is lined with stainless steel. The pans feature bronze handles and the collection includes the full range of cookware including stew pots, saute pan, sauce pans, fry pans and specialty pans. This professional collection is a combination of two powerful and tradi- tional materials, copper and stainless steel. This blend of materials energizes the pleasure of cooking. The copper allows for unsurpassed heat conductivity and control, and the stainless steel interi- or is ideal for all cooking needs. M'250b is manufactured in France in the same factory as all of the other Mauviel cookware. Ernest Mauviel established the Mauviel manufac- turing company in 1830 in a Normandy village, Villedieu-les-Poêles, near Mont- Saint-Michel. He founded a company that manufactured copper cookware for the hotel and restaurant markets in France. Since that time the company has expanded and now crafts cookware for commercial and household markets in more than 50 countries. Mauviel is still a privately owned family business that is into the sixth generation of ownership. Stop by booth #260 at the show.
