5.0 out of 5 stars Quality product - great customer service, February 15, 2007

By	Amanda (seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

I recently purchased this at a gourmet grocery store in their culinary arts section. I contacted the maker (Souk Ceramique) and received an email right away. They told me that it does not have a hole because it is a hand-thrown clay piece. The manufactured ones need holes because their tops sit on their bases tightly and the hole is necessary for steam to vent. In a hand-thrown tagine, the steam can vent around the base. Also, to season it - soak it overnight in water. Then allow it to dry, coat the inside with olive oil, and put in a cold oven. Heat the oven to 350 degrees and allow the tagine to heat with it and then leave it for an hour and a half to two hours in there. Don't put it in cold water while it is hot. Let it cool down on its own. If it isn't used often, it should be re-seasoned every few months. I've read variations on the seasoning, but that is the best that I can find for now (some said soak it for one hour in water - other sites said 4 hours). I was impressed by the prompt and helpful reply from customer service, and I like the product. The company truly tries to keep the old world alive through its authentic tagines.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great Tajine for safe cooking, April 23, 2008

By	Mechel Cisco - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a light weight tajine that cooks food perfectly. I use mine several times a week. Easy clean up and looks great on the kitchen counter.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tagine.. yellow?, November 30, 2005

By	Abhi (Texas) - See all my reviews

The previous reviewer did not season her tajine.. which slowly builds up the strength of the clay.. you may use on electric cook tops but make sure the temp is BELOW 350. I prefer the regular one with glaze.
