Tagine is a multi-purpose word in Moroccan culture used to describe the earthen, cone-shaped, tabletop cooking vessel used to steam dishes and impart flavor, as well as a category of recipe prepared within the very vessel. Tagines serve as both the cooking vessel and the serving dish for double-duty use.
If it's not broken, don't fix it
Descriptions of food cooked "tagine style" date back to the 9th century classic, The Thousand and One Nights. A lot has changed in the last thousand years or so, but an appreciation for a good home-cooked meal is not one of them.
The reason this cooking method has endured for so long is because tagines allow food to carmelize while cooking and to stay warm for longer when serving. By virtue of slow-cooking meat at low temperatures, effectively braising it until tender, a variety of cuts can be used. Take it from Paula Wolfart, author of The Food of Morocco. She writes, “clay pots coddle food, bringing forth bright, natural flavors and an unctuous tenderness. Clay pots produce tender, juicier, tastier meat without basting and often with less fat; they heat evenly; they retain moisture, so the food remains succulent.” #yum
How They Are Made
Our tagines are formed from the rich, red Moroccan soil of Wadi Lan, and then decorated with a lead-free glaze. Add color to your dinner table with our soothing teal, arresting red, bright white, or beautiful blue. Learn more about the artisan tagine maker here.
Pair this beautiful tagine with one of our other unique Moroccan ceramic pieces such as the serving bowl, couscous platter and our Beldi cups!
Curing, Care & Dimensions
We highly recommend curing your tagine before first use. See detailed instructions for curing here.
Soak the base and lid in water for 24 hours.
Pat dry, then brush surfaces with olive oil and place in a cold oven.
Heat the oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit and leave in the oven for 2 hours.
Turn off the oven and let the tagine cool completely.
After cooking, wash your tagine with hot water and baking soda, then pat dry and rub with a little olive oil. Not dishwasher safe.
*Small cracks in the ceramic are normal and over the years, the patina they create gives evidence of your cooking skills!
Dimensions 9" tall / 11" diameter
Our tagines are hand-cast and glazed, no two are exactly alike and slight variations may occur.
