HOW TO USE A TAGINE
The Tagine is to be use on the top of electrical or glass stove or inside the stove. If you have a gas stove with flames please use a protective metal piece to protect your tagine from cracking. When serving place the Tagine on a wooden board to avoid cracking.
Cooking Tips
Tagines also require meals that have broth or water, never cook a dry meal in your tagine (ex. Frying eggs, searing meat…) avoid subjecting the Tagine to extreme temperature changes, which can cause the Tagine to crack. Any liquids that are added to the Tagine must be warm to hot.

What is a Tagine?
In Morocco, a tagine refers to both a traditional cooking vessel and the flavorful stew-like dish cooked within it. The tagine pot is a distinctive clay or ceramic vessel with a wide, shallow base and a conical lid. This unique design allows for slow, even cooking, with the conical lid trapping steam and returning moisture to the dish, resulting in tender, flavorful meals.
What to cook in a Tagine?
Our fair trade handmade Moroccan Tagine pot is made up of one base and one lid that has an easy to lift handle. The dish cooked in a tagine pot typically consists of a combination of meat (such as lamb, chicken, or beef), vegetables (such as potatoes, carrots, or onions), fruits (such as apricots, dates, or raisins), and a blend of aromatic spices like cinnamon, cumin, paprika, and saffron. The ingredients are layered in the tagine pot and cooked slowly over low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together and create a rich, fragrant stew

I just finished my first meal out of this tagine and it came out great. I like the heavy and uniformly thick walls of this tagine because it gives even heat throughout cooking. The size is nice - just a bit smaller than ones in the brick and mortar stores around me making for easier storage and better suited to meals for two. Nice glazing on the pottery makes it easily wiped clean with next to no scrubbing.

I’ve made several main dishes with this Tagine since my recent purchase, including Lamb Stew. It makes the meat very moist, and harnesses flavor better than a normal pot. That said, here’s a brief review;> The pot arrived with about 2 inches under the top that wasn’t glazed. With handmade goods, Stuff like this reminds me of my item being unique.> The packaging was Great but a little over the Top..There was enough bubble wrap to properly secure a small car!> The overall artwork appeared to be done by a kid but Again, it makes the Tagine unique. I wasn’t expecting a Rembrandt design.> I seasoned the pot by; hand washing, adding a light coat of Olive oil all over, and baking it in the oven at 320 degrees for 2 hours.> when cooking, I placed the Tagine directly on Gas burners at low (Simmering) temperature. This is ideal, slow and low.Would I recommend this Tagine pot, Absolutely!

I'm going to have to give this product a single star because of the packaging. If you care about the environment, then I would strongly recommend that you do not purchase this item for this reason. I understand the necessity to protect the product, it is fragile, but this company has done so in the most environmentally unfriendly manner possible. Take a look at the images: I filled one standard sized grocery bag with the Styrofoam it shipped with, and gathered an insane amount of plastic – for such a small product comparatively. Plenty of alternative packaging methods exist, so I would recommend staying away from this company until they show greater responsibility/environmental stewardship.

It had a few chips here and there. Still it looks good and works properly. For some reason is smaller than expected.

I received the tangine promptly and intact. However, after inspection, I had to return it. The outside bottom of the tangine was unglazed and rough to the touch. I didn't want to place the tangine on a ceramic cooktop of my range, nor did I want to risk damage to my cooktop by using a heat diffuser along with the tangine. It is a beautiful vessel, but I couldn't use it.

I use this tagine a couple times a week to make a variety of meals - not just Moroccan food. I use it on a gas stove top with a diffuser and it works very well. This particular tagine is on the smallish side, which probably would not work for a large family. I cook for two, so it is the perfect size for my family. It is also quite pretty and I leave it on the stove top all the time right next to my cast iron skillet. The tagine arrived quickly and very well packed for protection during shipment.

While my tagine looks a little different than this design it is basically the same. First use last night for Chicken with Preserved Lemons. I have made this recipe before without a tagine and it was really good, but the tagine made it perfect. Very fun to cook with this and very efficient. Perfect size for 2 or 3 serviing.

I love the tagine. My dishes were tender & delicious. I seasoned it as instructed and it worked nicely. I used it in the oven and on cook top and had no problem with cracking or any other issue. I also "double seasoned" the tagine meaning I repeated the seasoning process twice before using. Also use tagine over low heat setting on cook top. It will heat evenly and fast so be careful you don't scorch or burn your food while cooking.As title states, I was sent a different pattern than the one pictured. I contacted seller to make aware; seller stated the pattern I ordered was out of stock so he sent another in place of it. I didn't want the hassle of re-packing and sending so I kept it. It arrived very well packed.My suggestion is if you really want a specific design/pattern make sure you tell the seller not to substitute item and to contact you so you can decide if you want to wait for item to be in stock or choose another design/pattern. Otherwise I was pleased with this purchase.Tagine may seem small to some. I'm able to cook 2 chicken thighs and 2 chicken legs with vegetables in this or a meal for 1-3 people depending on your appetite. I also serve couscous or rice with tagine meals thus making it able to feed 2-3. For 1 person you can be creative with the amounts. Also I don't use soap after I use the tagine. I use hot-warm water only and air dry. If seasoned properly food won't stick and clean up is fast & easy. The more I use it, the more I love it.
