Amazon.com Review
You'll fall in love with this tagine as you slow-cook succulent lamb, chicken, fish, or vegetable and couscous dishes typical of Moroccan cuisine. The two-piece tagine consists of a shallow dish on which sits a conical lid that circulates flavorful juices as it vents excess steam. Both are constructed of durable cast iron and coated with hard layers of enamel that resist cracking, chipping, staining, and odor retention. Suitable for use on any type of stovetop burner or in a conventional oven, the cast-iron tagine with its excellent thermal properties is ideal for simmering or baking at low heat.

Made in France, the Moroccan tagine comes in a choice of several bright, modern colors for the lid enamel, while the base enamel is black. The smooth coating means food particles tend not to stick, making cleaning the tagine by hand on in the dishwasher a snap. Enjoy choosing coordinating colors for your Le Creuset baking pans, pie dishes, French ovens, and more, and relax knowing each is covered by a lifetime limited warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri

Product Description
This stunning Moroccan Tagine is designed with a shallow enameled dish and conical lid which is ideal for the long, slow simmering of rich, flavorful recipes. The eye-catching, tight-fitting lid forms an excellent seal to keep moisture and heat inside. The conical shape also helps moisture circulate throughout the piece so there's no need to open, stir or turn the tagine, making for easy preparation.About Le Creuset... Since 1925, artisans have been crafting Le Creuset cookware in the French village of Fresnoy Le Grand. Each piece of Le Creuset cast iron cookware is handcast, polished, double enamel-coated and then fired, resulting in some of the finest quality cookware available. Cast iron is one of the best materials for distributing heat gently and thoroughly and is ideal for induction ranges. The strong enamel coating will not absorb odors or flavors, and is easy to clean. Heavy lids securely seal in moisture and flavor. Le Creuset cookware comes in a variety of sizes, colors and styles to match any kitchen and cooking preference. So lasting, you'll pass it on to the next generation of promising cooks.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome!   June 1, 2008
I don't have any experience cooking Moroccan cuisine but have been intrigued by the tagine for a while. I eventually broke down and bought one, and couldn't be happier!!!! First try with my new tagine and received many rave reviews from some picky/brutally honest friends/family!

The tagine was very easy to use, and more amazingly it was SO easy to clean after the meal! (I thought with the sticky ingredients, and almost 2 hour cook time that it would be baked on but it seriously came right off!!!)

I didn't experience any liquid pouring over or spitting out as one reviewer mentioned but I will experiment more and see what happens!

As many other reviewers have mentioned - The Honey Chicken was great!

LOVE my Le Creuset Tagine!!!!!!!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful cookware   December 29, 2007

I was very happy to discover that not only is this tagine a hardworking, efficient Le Creuset product, but it's also very beautiful. It's heavy, of course, but perfect for the kind of slow cooking necessary in this kind of cuisine. I bought it for a Christmas present and it was difficult to part with it.

I would start by saying that I have never cooked with a traditional tagine. However, I've had some great luck with the Le Creuset tagine. Based on the many reviews I've read here, I feel that an important element is that you reduce watery elements more than you normally would prior to adding the meats or major vegies. For instance, making a Moroccan meatball dish, I cook the onions and tomatoes longer than I might normally before adding the uncooked meatballs and covering the dish. This eliminates any problem with moisture spitting out of the sides of the tagine (hasn't happened to me yet). Just remember that little moisture is necessary. And yes, I add an ice cube to the top now and again, and I'm not entirely convinced it changes much, but I keep experimenting.

Because I began using a whole new set of Moroccan dishes when I purchased this tagine, and this has included a wide range of spices, it's hard for me to know from whence my excitement springs. But I've really enjoyed using it and making and eating these dishes. I cook more than my wife does, and she wants me to use it all the time.

I would also add that I am a fan of cast iron, the cheaper kind without the Le creuset enamel. The upside of this tagine is that the matte enameled surface is non-porous, so today's dish is not flavored by yesterday's. But this is also a downside, according to me. I rather enjoy knowing that the cooking implement is growing in flavor and is a sum of many nights' cooking.

The other reviews that complain about its small size have a point. It can't do anything larger than for four. My wife and I have enough left over for one more meal (four people at one meal, or two people at two meals).

On the stove, it looks amazing. Very dramatic presentation at the table.

On the whole, I highly recommend this item.




4 out of 5 stars quality product that cooks well and is easy to use   November 19, 2007

I received this tagine as a gift and am slowly learning about Moroccan cooking, so that I can use it as much as possible. While the design of this tagine is a bit different than traditional styles, it is very easy to use (as it's designed to be used on the stove, rather than in the oven) and cooks extremely well. Every bite of food is infused with flavor when you use this product and I haven't had any problem with food sticking or burning. I haven't cooked any meat with this tagine, but it's amazing how good a couple of cans of chickpeas are when cooked in it. It could perhaps be a bit larger; I'd say that it makes dinner for 5 adults. But honestly, since it does take up a lot of storage room, I like the size.

Some suggestions: use a REALLY good quality harissa paste when cooking and give your food as much time to cook as possible. the lower the setting and the longer it cooks, the better your dish will be. also, don't add too much liquid at first. You can always add more, but the stock/water really will not evaporate in this tagine.
