Treasures Of Morocco Cooking Tagine, Large 100%, Handmade, 12 inches, Brown, Clay, Round, Dishwasher Safe, Traditional

This is a legit Moroccan Tagine. There are some very minor imperfections in the painted top-but just makes it more authentic! We just came back from an amazing 2 week vacation that included 2 cooking classes( one in Fez and the other in Marrakech). I did take the additional seasoning step of a light oiling(the bottom) and baking in a 275F oven prior to use. (The seller did tell me this was unnecessary but ok to do) That is a solid metal diffuser on the gas cooktop. I was very careful to raise the heat slowly to brown the meat. They were way more aggressive about that in our classes-but I didn’t want to crack it!! I just left on stove until next day to clean. Perfect size for Lamb and Date Tagine for Two!! Looking forward to trying fish next week!

This was a Christmas present for a chef, he absolutely loves it. This was a great gift.

The one I bought is unglazed, which is what I prefer because unglazed clay absorbs the flavors, and with time it "gives back" and enriches the flavor of each successive tagine. The one I bought (to replace a treasured hand-built tagine) will do that in time, but my dissappointment comes from the fact that the interior lip that the lid sits on is set so low it seriously limits the capacity of this tagine when compared to others of like diameter. I mistakenly assumed the diameter determined a tagine's capacity, but diameter is NOT the sole determinant, so don't repeat my error. If my kitchen had unlimited storage, this would be fine for a meal for two, but it won't deliver dinner fo four! But this one is nicely vented and has a nice deep hollow "knob" on top of the lid that allows me to fill it with water during the long-slow cooking process to maximize interior condensation and promote flavor development of the sauce. If you are into truly traditional tagines (stews), this tagine (cooking vessel) delivers! If I'd been smart enough to buy this sized tagine that has greater capacity, I would have given it five stars.

Have used my tagine (the one in the photo) several times already in three weeks. Love it and love how easy it is to use, once you get the spices right. Plenty of info on internet for recipes. When the tagine arrived, the base had a hairline crack, but the people at Treasures replaced it quickly. I really appreciated it. Just sitting on the counter in between uses a handsome ceramic piece. Photo is of cat curious about seasoning of tagine in water overnight.

bad quality. cracked on first use

An un glazed unit that works well on a stove top is what I was looking for. Although there was no spec stating glazed or unglazed, the detailed instructions on how to season an unglazed tanginess drew me in.

This Tagine is perfect for my husband n myself with left overs. Just by looking at it It can easily cook a meal for 4 no more. I love the design n that it is completely glazed inside n out. I will take special care of it since it is made of clay n b cause it is 1 of a kind. No 2 r alike. This is why they r truly unique. I will definitely recommend.

Seasoned as recommended, used one time and food was good. I am sure it will be used many times in future. Worth the price and free shipping was nice. Was delivered on time and great shape. Big enough to feed 4 people. Product was same as displayed on site.
