 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.
 Best slow cooker! March 28, 2007

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

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.

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.

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.
