The tasty traditions of Morocco and other Northern African peoples can be
experienced more fully using a tagine (or tajine). The conical lid provides
the enclosure that makes it act like an oven. Most can be used to cook
either in the oven or on top of the stove.
Traditionally used by nomads as portable ovens over charcoal braziers,
for making stews, usually containing meat. The low, indirect heat produces a
rich, aromatic flavor as the food slowly simmers for hours. Several tagine
dishes might be served during a typical dinner, together with, of course,
couscous.
Tagine is both the name of the cooking vessel and of the recipes
themselves. There are many good cookbooks available on this topic. And an
Internet search will turn up a plethora of recipes.
Remember to use a heavy trivet to shield your table from heat from the
base, when it comes off the stove or out of the oven.
If you prefer to prepare the food using more modern methods, a tagine
provides a beautiful serving piece.
 
The base is both a cooking and
serving dish. It is very heavy, made to withstand constant use, and to hold
heat longer.
The cover is shaped like a funnel, to
act like an oven, or a closed chimney. Totally sealed at the top, it keeps
heat and moisture inside during cooking, for more flavorful, healthier food.
The extended bulb at the top is designed to remain cooler, and act as a
handle. |

Traditional Terracotta Tagines
Hand made, each piece has its own distinguishing characteristics.
Tested lead-free.
Glazes cover all surfaces except the bottom of the base, the bottom lip of
the chimney, and the top indentation in the chimney, which are unglazed
Use in the oven up to 400°F.
On the stovetop, use a trivet between the burner and the base, and always
use low heat.
Crackling is normal in ceramic pots, which may appear to be cracked.
Before cooking in your new ceramic or iron tagine, you can break it in by
filling it with a mixture of half water and half milk, slowly bringing it to
a boil, and boiling for 15 minutes.
Wash by hand; cleans easily.
