Best slow cooker! March 28, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful

I love this item! I used it a couple of times already and the chicken was the best that I ever had! I couldn't believe that it does everything that it says it does! The food is tender, flavorful - even the next day! This is the best thing I have added to my kitchen in years!

Great Stews August 15, 2006
17 out of 19 found this review helpful

Although I have no background to vouch for any ethnic authenticity of this product (I was almost thrown out of Williams Sonoma when I asked the lady if I could prepare a beef stew in a tagine), I will say that the Le Creuset version is a very attractive piece of decor and it makes for some awesome stews.

So far I have not been able to get food to stick to the base (unlike my other Le Creuset pots) and the steaming at low heat does seem to concentrate & intensity the flavor. I bought some new (to me) spices (cumin, tumeric, coriander seeds, etc) to follow some simple recipes and everything has come out wonderfully well.

The only down side is that it will not make a lot of food at once (dinner for four is a stretch) and it is not quick. But it does things for stews that no other preparation method can do.

Love My Tagine January 25, 2006
26 out of 27 found this review helpful

I ordered this following a vacation trip to Morocco. WHY DIDN"T I BUY ONE IN MOROCCO ? I was impressed with the Moroccan style of Tagine cooking but wasn't sure I could count on a lead-free glazes on the Tagines at the markets or shops. I was told the cooking Tagines were plain terra cotta and the decorative ones were for serving only. Before I ordered my Le Creuset Tagine, I put up several jars of salted preserved lemons. When the Tagine arrived I was surprised to find a lighter weight bottom than the normal Le Creuset enamel over cast iron cookware and a heavy pottery chimey top. I read reviews, suggestions and recipes on line and decided to try a chicken, lemon and olive tagine as my first dish. I combined the cooking instructions that came from Le Creuset with a recipe I got in Morocco. When I watched tagine cooking in Morocco, at various stages of cooking, they set the chimey top of the tagines on the edge of the base and ocassionally removed it from the base. I observed the cooking process done on small burners over glowing coals and on wood fired stove tops. When I made the chicken tagine, I use a FLAME TAMER (a star shaped wire that sits on the electric burner of a stove and dispurses the heat). I watched the tagine and adjusted the lid/cone as needed to more closely replicate the Moroccan style of cooking in my home kitchen. The result was fabulous. Great if you love to cook and fuss with food as I do.

Le Creuset Tagine October 4, 2005
26 out of 26 found this review helpful

I have found this to be valuable addition to my kitchen. I am interested in Mediterranen cooking and this is a traditional form in Morocco. This is a low-fuel cooker, never used above a medium setting on a cooktop and used to simmer for long periods on low or very low. Uses very little liquid with the unique Tagine shape; do not overfill or you will have a mess. This is a great way to make stews and braises! Long cooking allows flavors to mingle. It cooks for 4 but is not big enough to serve large groups unless used in a multi-course meal; a bigger size would be nice to add. Would love to have more recipes.

It makes a difference! June 21, 2005
62 out of 68 found this review helpful

For some reason, Amazon purged all the previous reviews of this product. I hereby restore my own (with some minor updates) since a good review is a terrible thing to purge...
I had long admired this piece of cookware, but resisted the temptation to buy it because it is so obviously impractical from the standpoint of storage. Finally, one day I broke down and hit that Amazon purchase button. A few days after it arrived, we cooked the honey chicken recipe from the little booklet that comes with the pot. Tender! Tasty! Excellent! But is it worth setting aside a big hunk of shelf space to store the tagine? We decided to find out. The following week we cooked the recipe again for a small dinner party of 8. We did two identical batches - one in the tagine, and the second in a heavy Le Creuset cast iron casserole (generally an excellent implement for slow-cooked stews and the like). Six of eight of the party were "blind" to which batch was which. The results - hands down, 8/8 diners preferred the batch from the tagine. Both batches were great, but the tagine batch was unquestionably more tender and tasty. So the tagine definitely makes a difference and, for me, is worth the space.
...addendum, several weeks and many tagines later...
I have discovered a couple of issues that tempered my initial unreserved enthusiasm, and caused me to relegate this beautiful cooking vessel to a place in our dining room as an ornament. First, it is a bit small, and won't fit the quantities in many tagine recipes (other than those provided in the instruction booklet). Also, the children would fall upon the tasty tagines like wolves and there were never ANY leftovers. (I think one should be able to get two meals out of a stew!) Second, the tagine has the peculiar habit of expelling condensate, flooding the stovetop. I think this is because, unlike many traditional tagines, this one is unvented, so once condensate pools on the rim, it is driven over the edge by the escaping steam. Because of the size problem we ended up buying (elsewhere) a 16"-wide, traditional Moroccan tagine that appears very similar to what Amazon has since started selling as the "Moroccan Rabat tagine." It is interesting that this earthenware tagine did not work as well as the Le Creuset tagine until we had coughed up another $40 for a heat diffuser. Because of the non-traditional, iron construction of the Le Creuset tagine, it acts as its own heat diffuser in a way that traditional earthenware models can't. Bottom line - the Le Creuset tagine makes a phenomenal tagine, but think twice if you want to feed more than 4 adults or want some leftovers, and prepare to mop up your stovetop! Incidentally, I wrote Le Creuset pointing out these issues, suggesting that they bring out a larger model and add a steam vent. No answer, though.
...Newest update: Despite our following all the handling instructions to the letter, the earthenware tagine eventually developed a hairline, through-and-through crack encircling the base, and the replacement the company sent promptly did the same thing. So we may have to go back to the Le Creuset tagine which, for all its faults, is not going to crack wide open on the stove. Although I cannot say for sure that our earthenware tagine is the same as the product Amazon is selling, the pictures do appear identical, and it is conceivable that all these earthenware tagines are coming out of the same factory. It is also interesting that the single review of the yellow tagine sold by Le Souk Ceramique also describes the tagine failing, and the picture of that product also looks just like my earthenware tagine, apart from the color of the glaze. Customers worried about durability of their purchase might want to consider going for the Le Creuset tagine for that reason alone.
